Busy Sewing

I have been ill, with some sort of bug over half term, so I haven't been out. However, I have managed to do some sewing

• Made the top for a project Linus quilt using the Ohio Star as the centre (Project from Keene Quilter's). I don't like the colour of the second from last border, so I will have to un-pick it and find another
• Completed all of the 140 squares for my scrappy quilt and stitched them together to make 35 larger squares. I now need to purchase the fabric for the sashing, binding and backing.
• Made a small tote bag with pockets for a friends fund raising stall for Breast Cancer, four more are cut out and part made

The light isn't right for photos, but I will up-load some tomorrow.

Also my daughter wants to make a bag for her summer holiday. She has seen one on the internet and thinks that it will be easy to make something similar. We are going fabric shopping next Saturday!!!

I need to do some marking before next Thursday, when I go back to school and make a banner, following the guidelines from Quilts4London. I am going to get my Year 9 students to make one each next term.

I also need to focus on my project for Material Girls, I know exactly what I want to do, I just need to get started.
