Quilts Away!

The last of the first round of Bee Blessed quilts has been bound, labelled and washed.


Which means these 4 beauties are being handed over this week for donation to local needy families. 

Many thanks again to all of you who contributed blocks and fabrics to make these quilts possible. I may not get specific information on who they are given to, but please know that they will be put into homes where they will be v.much appreciated and loved.

Time to update you with a few quick makes I did last week:

Bunting - class sample

Vintage look mini bunting - class sample (but may make it's way onto my mantel this Christmas!!)
Fingerless gloves

They look better with a hand in them!!!
My first attempt at these fingerless gloves produced something that would have been too big for Audley Harrison!!

As my intended recipient for these is my daughter, who loves homemade makes in random colours (you may have noticed her recent mugrug!) I had to rethink.

So I down sized my hook and shorted the length and got something that will fit her hands! These are being put away with the bed socks for stocking fillers!

If anyone out there wants to make fingerless gloves for someone with shovel hands, then I have the perfect pattern!
