I seem to have head my head in a cloud this week - as opposed to a head in the clouds.
Just haven't been able to put my mind to anything new. However I have managed to get a few things finished
Photo effect using 'Photo Booth'
Finished November calendar.
Made a basic page for December.
Decided to unpick some stitching I had done on my quilt, but haven't touched it since.
Made a couple of book wraps from a piece of 'mad' quilting I had done. So now I shall have these lying around instead of the bit of quilting.
Finished off some little tree decoration bags I have made for friends.
(Don't tell)
They are bits of Sari ribbon stitched down onto felt. From an idea in this book - and Gina.

And I finished off my bag, and added a vintage buckle from my mother-in-law's button box
And here is the photographer's assistant checking the action.
Have a good week

Do you think Marv would come and help my sewing? I'm not getting on at all with a Christmas quilt - it may yet become an Easter quilt. love the bright zingy bag.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see the Assistant is looking well and keeping and eye on quality control ! Love love those book covers and the little decorations - both really beautiful. Might pinch your idea and have a go myself sometime.
ReplyDeleteYou might have had your head in the clouds Jill but your hands have carried on working independently!! You have completed loads of things and like Jane, I love the book wraps and the little bags. They will make very welcome gifts I think. How lovely to make something for friends like that. They have a treat in store!
ReplyDeleteYes but finishing things is so much more admirable than starting new ones!
ReplyDeleteLovely book wraps and little bags and your satchel bag has turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love the book covers. Beautiful Assistant.

ooooh! The little bags are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous wee bags, what a lovely project while your head's in the clouds! Photographer's assistant is looking very wistful!
ReplyDeleteLovely decoration bags, so bright & delicious for a tree. I must look JR up. Quilting is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteHas Marvin been on some sort of "Youth Elixer"? He looks so young and handsome in that photo! I love your "mad" quilting, so colourful.
ReplyDeleteThose book wraps are stunning so are the tree decorations :-)
