A bit of time to myself this Sunday and I whipped up these cute coasters from the latest Cotton & Paint magazine and am loving them…they are backed with denim and are just gorgeous….I might make some more since they were so quick but I now notice my dodgy corners and better get my pin to them and pull them out!!!
I also made this bag and just need to top sew and tidy it up….its the library tote from Crafters Companion….I enjoyed this book so much that I cleaned up my craft room twice this weekend!!! amazing
oh and check out my stitching…I found an embroidery hoop yesterday and have been doing some small projects and I enjoyed it so much I stayed in my pj’s this morning with my coffee longer than normal stitching away…I just need to wash off the washable pen….you can do it without the pen but I find you get a neater look using the pen….if anyone has another method please let me know…
Love the stitching – gorgeous – I am so envious of anyone who can produce neat hand stitching.
Cute fabrics on those coasters! Love the bag and the stitching too. I use a washable pen that also has an eraser on the other end, so you can just use the eraser instead of washing.
The sign of a great weekend when your sunday post is all the sewing you got done. Love those coasters. I too must get some of these made. “Crafters Companion” is one of my best read books at the moment too.
Also love the stitchery & bag.
So lucky! You got a whole day crafting…whereas I was having to drive all over the burbs visiting. Love all your creations, specially the stitching. I gotta break out my hoop…its in a box somewhere. I also use a washable pen, so useful for everything. But to remove the marks, I’ve got a water barrel pen which is pretty good at getting to the odd spots.
Everything is just fanatastic! I love the coasters, I need to make some as we just bought a new coffee table. The bag is great too, but I especially love the stitching. I’ve inherited all of my mum’s embroidering supplies which includes a whole magazine collection in 4 huge ring binders, I just need to find some time and patience! Might start off with just a few small singlets first.
Love the stitcheries – I really should start some Christmas ones – maybe even the ones that I started last year – LOL
