Friday Sewing

 Since i didn't get to sit  & sew with the FNwF last week i made sure i had a sewing Friday this week. Still trying to clear UFO's. 

I started by making up these cute little pillows for Christmas

Next was this stocking. Not sure why i left it so long to finish. It was put together quite quickly. :)


It is more of a decorative item than one to put presents in. Maybe i'll just put some holly picks in it at Christmas.

Next item was this pattern from The Raspberry Rabbits.


After that was a free stitchery from Bareroots that was given out late 2018 to stitch ready for 2019 but i didn't get to it at that time. The original pattern was made into a cushion but it wanted mine to be a hanging.

These little stitcheries i'd stitched earlier this year but only got them appliqued to the red fabric earlier last week (one of the projects for sewing last Friday).I added the green border, wadding & backing so i could start the quilting around the stitchery. After that is a bit of machine quilting, some ric rac added & then buttons & binding. :)

Last was to get these to sticheries cut out ready to applique to the background fabric. I didn't get far last night. By the time i stuffed the cushions, did 2 bindings & started the quilting my evening had past by quickly & i was ready for bed.


I'd stitched these last year as one idea for a needlecase swap i was in. I went with another pattern in the end so i'll make up the needlecase & pincushion for me or maybe i'll put them into a box for any swaps i join in the future.


And now my hanging has become a cat mat. Thanks Lil P for giving it your approval as something comfy to lay on. Ha Ha.

Happy Stitching,

Gosh you have achieved heaps Jeanette. I love everything & think that stocking would look so wonderful with some greenery & some red berries in it - fake ones of course. Lil P has just the sweetest little face. xx
