Binka and Pearls...

After a stroll to the park, and bit of relaxing in the warm sunshine, it was home via the paper shop, and time to give the girls the talk yesterday.

They are 5, they need to be able to sew now!  They were keen, after I tied the big plastic needles to the thread.  These are going to be a purse and a handbag, apparently...


The mad one.
Hopefully we/they will get them finished during the week, the call of bikes in the garden was too hard to resist after a few rows.

I, on the other hand was able to get my Modern Mini Challenge quilt finished.  There is still something about it that I am just not sure about - it is frustrating me.

There is nothing I shouldn't like, I love all the fabrics and colours, it's just... different to my usual style, and I suppose that was the whole point.  So I will keep looking at it for the next week, then let you and world see what you think.  (That, or I'll whip up another one and forget all about it!).

  6. Ahh, that talk, it's so hard... You were nice though, I'm sure my mum made me use proper needles straight off when I was about 5 or 6, and they were bloody sharp!

  11. It's good to start them sewing from a young age. They may either fall in love with it or be interested for a short while and come back to it at a later age =D

  13. My goodness your girls are cute. When you said about 'the talk' I laughed. Have you seen the YouTube with the Brit mom who's daughter asks "mum, what's virgin mean". Google it, if not. Hysterical.

    Good luck with your quilt. I'm sure it's stunning!

  14. Your girls are adorable. Good to start them sewing early.
    I totally messed up the quilting on my Modern Mini...I might either rip it out or forget the whole thing. :-(
    I hope you get yours figured out.

  16. Yay, another generation to the dark (and medium and light values) side!! My tip is to use double thread once they get to fabric, then they can't lose the needle!!!
