It is just amazing how much can be made  with just half a meter of fabric.

 

Key fob's ,Phone /coin /card purses  and the bags are ready for Apple Day

at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, 

                                         What to do with what was left ,put it on to shoppers.
                                                   Now I have nothing left.

                             Looking at my photos I think I might need a new camera ,perhaps put
                                   it on my Christmas list.


                            I am now working on making Advent Calendars ready for next month.

                         The Norfolk Young Quilter is going from strength to strength we now
                          have 15 girls . The stack and wack  cushion cover was not only mad but
                          Quilted all with time to spare, we have helper stay to supervise only.
                           The next meeting is hand sewing just to give them something different.

                          Next week M.C and I will be making shopper bags to sell at  coffee mornings
                           to raise money for more supply's   for the N,Y,Q.

                            Well back to the sewing machine  ,after a coffee.
                             have a good week end            

something new for Christmas

I thought you might like to see my latest table runner i have added to the Christmas page of my blog.

The pattern was from an old book which I have adapted fro a wall hanging into a table runner .

I have also made different Advent calenders using panels I found at Hever Castle.

Now off to Apple Day.

Apple Day at Gressinhall

 Just a few things ready for apple day.I now have just finished using up the 2yds of apple fabric I had.

 This is a Tea Cosy that can be left on when poring as the spout and handle are exposed.

Yet another bag.Hear I have used a small clip to secure the side pockets.

A close up of the clip,sorry it is a bit out of focus.














Gressinahall  is an old workhouse and is part of  Norfolk museum's.
If the weather is good there should be lots of visitors .

Of to the Olympics

 Having made the dog and wellington bag I was asked to make one in apple fabric for

Sandra of Ashill Fruit Farm.
                                                 www.norfolkpureapplejuice.co.uk

I have added extra pockets as this bag is off to the Olympic's with her.

We use to meet at a market that has now closed due to lack of village support.

Sandra also wanted this bag to take to markets to hold different things on her stall.

I will make some more bag's for Apple Day at Gressinhall  in October.

I do not know what design I will do yet.

The Weather hear can not decide if it is summer yet as we are fast approaching the longest day.
