Hot! Hot! Hot!

It's been deliciously warm here recently!

I even got the bare legs out today!

But what I've been working on recently hasn't exactly been summery!

Hot Water Bottle Covers

These are hot water bottle covers for part of a Gifts course I'll be running in the Autumn!

Hot Water Bottle Covers

Shannon very kindly made me some grey and yellow QAYG panels and I constructed the cover.

This one is an Irish linen and Heather Ross mix - always a winning combo IMO!

And finally, a fleecy number!  So snuggly!

All of these covers have Insul Bright wadding inside to make sure they retain the heat for those cold winter evenings!

So it was hot inside and out after working on these!

Some of you on IG have very kindly expressed an interest in the pattern for these.  Thank you, I'm tickled pink!  But I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the Autumn, but I will post about here when it's ready!

Hope you are getting some sunshine in your neck of the woods!

  6. We've had the sun and the heat, and I've been trapped in an office all day *sob* I'm not sure if the fact that it's mostly glass so we can see the sun makes it better or worse...

    Hottie covers though, what a week to choose to make them!
