Yep, I indulge in that most days; here are some little hand-stitched blocks that are being put aside for my Ode to GTSB…
They need squaring up and stitching together, but that will be part of the fun when I get to trying to decide on a layout.
I also received a speedy parcel from Jessie; ordered yesterday lunchtime, here today!
I am joining the glue-basters, as I am keen to spend as much time actually sewing as I can, and those clamshell templates, well they just fell in my basket in a moment of bravado!!
Today the kids got to play with fabric too, it's only fair!
I chickened out of going the full screen-printing hog with them, so we plumped for decorating calico bags with fabric paint…
There may have been sharing disagreements, and a little upset about going outside the lines, but all in all everyone was happy in the end…
I think they did pretty well; my only role was as brush washer and fabric-presser.
Think of this as a sweetener though, tomorrow they have the dentist to look forward to!
What is GTSB? Is it like LGBT? :P love the colours - so nice and bright.
ReplyDeleteLove the pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteThe pinwheels look great - fab colours are you tessellating them? The one jackie snd I tessellated nearly drive us insane! Well done kids, great bags
ReplyDeleteI just been making that same block for a bee! Are you going to EPP your clamshells then?
ReplyDeleteLove the pinwheels and the bags!!
ReplyDeleteHadley you should know better than being upset with the kids for going outside the lines ;)
ReplyDeleteThe bags look great :) x
Wow are you going to epp your clamshells?! I like Fiona's method as they lay nice and flat sewn over each other rather than epp'ed
ReplyDeleteOch it looks well within the lines from here :oD
