Saving the environment and your heating bills

It's that time of year again - when you don't need the heating on during the day - but you get to the evening - the sun goes down and you stop pottering - you sit down - start to relax and start feeling chilly!!

- that's when you need one of these - a flannel lap quilt - made from soft warm flannel fabric - (still 100% cotton) - it's just big enough to cover you up when you're sitting on the chair or sofa!

 So quick & easy to make - so soft & cosy!! 

Everyone in the house will want it!! 

So don't turn your heating on in the evening in April or September - when it gets chilly - just grab a quilt and snuggle up - It will save the environment and cut your heating bills!! 

 God Bless

Fabric for the Hopes, dreams & Prayer angels quilt 

I have been looking for some time to replicate the fabric that I used to make the Hopes Dreams & angels quilt and I have struggled - but I am happy to say that I now have several fabrics that are the same and many that are very similar so for those of you have been waiting - the wait is over - it is here!!

Hooray!!

God bless

Buttons 

I love buttons!! small ones- big ones- round ones - square ones-knobbly ones- smooth ones - it doesn't really matter - I love them all!

 But these ..... are something else - these are special!! 

 Lovely vanilla buttons with words like -- faith & peace & love & hope & joy with little hearts - these are lovely!!

How could you not love them with such wonderful words written round them. Of course its not the words - not the random placement of letters - its the meanings of the words and the pictures those meanings conjure up that make them SO special!!

Regardless of your faith we all need -hope - peace - faith - love & joy and we can all share these sentiments with those around us - be generous with your love - hope - peace - faith & joy and make someone happy today!!!

God Bless

Lettered Bunting 

Lettered Bunting is such fun to make - you can make it any size - any pattern and to say anything you wish!

 This was a practice piece - I loved making it and was surprised how quickly it came together. This bunting has letters only on one side - but I think the next lot I make I will applique letters on both sides - and not hang it against the wall!

You could make some Bunting with your name on - or with your business name on - or 'Happy birthday' or 'well done' or 'congratulations' or 'Welcome Home' or anything you like - but I am happy with 'God is Love'!

Until next time 

 God Bless

Log-cabin day

On Friday 14th March - many of us got together and sewed Log- cabin blocks to make into a quilt for the homeless.

 it was a lovely day - and I think we all enjoyed the sewing and companionship. all 35 blocks were accomplished and I have now sewn the blocks together for the inner quilt- only the borders to go now.

The earlier two charity quilts are now quilted and almost ready to go!

Thank you all for your time & help!

Log-cabin blocks

Tomorrow 14th March we will be holding our spring Charity day and making Log-cabin blocks like the one above to sew into a quilt to donate to the Homeless.

 The blocks made last month have been sewn into two quilts - both of which are quilted and just waiting to be bound before being delivered to Emmaus- 

Many thanks to all who helped 

Generosity is contagious and good for the soul!

 If all who could helped all who couldn't the world would be a better place!!

God Bless all!
