I´ve been having more and more trouble with my feet for some time now and so I´ve been concentrating on preparing several hand-sewing projects for the weeks ahead of me while wearing a cast. I´ll be showing photos of those items as they are finished but for now I have some of the little things I´ve made in the past few weeks. First a candlemat I made to swap with the other Patchcats at our meeting last April:
 |
| The "Bareroots" original pattern is only about 22 cm across, so I drew it larger and finished at about 27 cm so my cat candleholder has more room to sit in the middle. :o) (I forget who won it in the end, but I was lucky to get Christel´s hand-appliqued kitty candlemat!!!) |
Eines Tages habe ich ein Apfelkuchen für eine Freundin gebacken und... also geschenkt habe ich welche aber endlich eins für mich gemacht--ein "Kuchenträger" (ein YouTube Video zeigte vor ein paar Jahre wie leicht zu nähen ist...weiß nicht wie´s heißt...):
One day when I made an apple pie for a friend it occurred to me there was time to run upstairs and make myself a pie/casserole carrier --I´ve given some away as gifts and finally have one for myself :o)
(...seen on a YouTube video a couple of years ago, don´t remember who showed this item I think it was in Spanish... but so simple to make--thank you!)
Vorletzte Woche kaufte ich die Anleitung für diese "Handnäh-Kissen" für den Schoß, wollte schon lange eins und denke, hilft in den nächsten Wochen:
The week before last I bought the pattern for this "Handwork Pillow" to use in the coming weeks--used on your lap to support your arms/hands to reduce back strain:
 |
| Handwork Pillow Pattern by Legacy Patterns, bought at Craftsy |
Nebenbei habe ich auch viele einfache Schlüsselbänder genäht, 2 Arten:
I also managed to finish lots of quick, easy key fobs of 2 different types:
 |
| 3 cm wide, about 18 cm Long |
...und noch 3 Vintage Flowers Blöcke (morningglorydesigns.com) geschafft:
...as well as 3 more Vintage Flowers blocks (from morningglorydesigns.com):
 |
| Block 32 |
 |
| Block 33 |
 |
| Block 34 |
Nur noch 8 Vintage Flowers Blöcke bis Ende vom BOM--und sie sind alle zum Applizieren vorbereitet, schaffe ich in den nächsten Wochen vielleicht!
Only 8 more Vintage Flowers blocks left to applique and then the BOM is finished! I´ve got them all prepared for hand-appliqueing in the next few weeks and hope to be done with them soon!!
Happy summery quilting everyone, and hugs!
Bobbi
