There has been a little 'making'...
... and some arranging and re-arranging (no fancy design wall here)...
...some Brit Bee-blocking - I have already made the 2 requested Drunkard's Path blocks using Kerry's wonderful tutorial, but I will keep my finished blocks under wraps until they are back in Susan's grubby mitts, if only to tease her for a bit longer...
... and some scrummy mail from Pink Castle...
The aqua crosshatch is destined to become the lining for my hexie bag, so that can move back onto my To-Do list again - hurray!
Then we have this...
I know I was rather secretive about the first mug rug for the Goodie swap, but I think I can get away with showing you the whole of the first 'goodie' without giving the game away.
I thought a tri-fold needlecase would fit the bill for one of my partners, and the lining probably says more about 'me' than my partner, but I am rather pleased at how it turned out, as I kind of made it up as I went along.
Small slip pocket for bits and bobs...
An attached mini pin cushion...
...and needles pages...
So there you go partner, well, one of you, I hope you like it!
I thought you might also like a look at the completed 'secret' Project 51...
The full story of this quilt is not mine to tell, however it is now in the hands of the most amazing recipient and I am honoured to have played my part in making it xxx
My goodness you have been busy! Love the needlecase, I'm sure your partner will too :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm embarassed to say I have that copy of Making sitting in a pile to be read on my living room floor (with the latest issue underneath it) Maybe I'll take them both into the bath this weekend and get through them!
