Well I personally have decided to postpone the start of 2015 for a week or two!!!! Why?
Well on New Year's Day I came down with a pretty rotten cold!!! First one for at least a year and a half, so not bad really but not how I would have planned the start of 2015 if I had had a choice! But to those of you who are off to a roaring start may I just wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Having said that whilst I'm snuggled up on the settee with my box of tissues, watching day time TV, I am thinking of using my time wisely. Those of you who have kept up with my blog may remember many moons ago I mentioned joining a
Quilting Group. You may also have noticed I haven't mentioned it since!! I had a very legitimate reason though. I decided to make a couple of Christmas presents for my daughters and as
Clare who writes her own blog reads mine and with the remote possibility of
Kerry popping in to see what I've been up to, of course, I had to keep schtum!
But now it's time for the great reveal!!
I didn't want to make a full size quilt or a lap quilt but was interested to learn the art of quilting so I made two jewellery rolls with very tiny squares. Each of the little coloured squares are less than an inch. I did Kerry's first (the top one with hearts) and then challenged myself a little further with Clare's using fabric manipulation (the bottom one). There are two zipped pockets, a small pocket and loops for necklaces on the inside.
If anyone is interested, I am going to start on a 'How To' in the next few days, so please pop back and I will explain how it all came together.
