A bit of this....

 a bit of that....!

The pandemic roller coaster continues here...

no sooner are we out of one lockdown, 

A view from my morning walk

enjoying the freedom of meeting up - outside - with 

friends, or coffee catch-ups,

than we are again, confined to our homes with only the 

five essential reasons to leave!

So what is one to do but craft.....?


I finished this jumper last weekend, then 'wet blocked' 

it, and am so pleased with how it turned out!



I decided it was time to start another quilt and loved 

how these fabrics played together!

Kirsty at Bonjour Quilts designed this pattern, which she 

calls Scrappy Posie, available free on her blog.



Unfortunately I don't have any fabric in my stash for 

backing at this stage.

I'll have to wait until lockdown finishes to solve that 

problem!


Finally, I made some little (about 3") pyramid shaped 

lavender pouches!


They are cleverly made with two squares of fabric from 

a tutorial at Patchwork Posse.

I'm planning on starting this cushion next...


Stay safe everyone...

I can't wait til I get my second jab next week!

Potpourri

I've had problems with moths and silverfish,

nibbling at my "out-of-season" clothes!


and I certainly didn't want the smell of mothballs 

permeating them!

So I followed a recipe I found here



And I ordered some lavender and lemon balm online

to make some little fabric sachet bags!


and set them to work!


 On a completely different note, I wanted to check the 

length of my Whittaker pinafore,


So got my lipstick on and coerced Mr PnP to take 

some photos!


And I am happy to say the length is perfect!


Finally I found another fabulous free tutorial here 

@lillyella:

after seeing lots of them on Instagram!



It's a mini maker station for the arm of my couch!

I love how it keeps everything together!


The perfect place for all my English Paper Piecing 

supplies!


And I am pretty sure my Quattro Colour is going to be 

finished soon!

Happy sewing, and stay strong friends!
