Merryville mat

Stash busting for a present for a new little one coming to Dean's workmate


Some Michael Miller Merryville print on one side and navy and white small polka dots for the back with quilt batting in between. I hand stitched a running stitch in quilting cotton around the edge to keep everything in place.


A simple playmate for the new little boy arriving today.

Apple skirt

Some of the last of this pretty little navy blue apple fabric (from Spotlight) sewed into a self-drafted skirt pattern for Bella.






Simple waistband and a zippered side for my long-legged, small-waisted girl who is near impossible to get a good fitting skirt ready made.

Round in circles duvet cover ... the beginning

A self-drafted dresden piece...


and a nice pile of Saffron Craig fabric purchased a couple of years ago cut into some strips...


made into a rather large dresden circle, the start of a duvet cover for hubby and my bed. Plans are for a plain background, probably off-white and the circle as the centre.
