June Wrap Up

Not a lot of sewing has happened over the last couple of weeks but I have squeezed in a few finishes before the end of the month.

Way back on July 01, 2010 ... Kate gave the first instructions for a Stay-at-home Robin ... "start with a block which is 6" square (finished - so your block should measure 6.5" square before you sew it to anything else)". Thankyou Kate, it was exciting each month to read the next instructions and get thinking and creating.

I think I went to my box of tan scraps first and made the block ... then decided I'd make two so into the blue scraps next. Now 12 months later I am very happy to reveal both wall hangings are complete and hanging in my lounge room.

After playing with photos on the computer, I decided to turn the blue one upside down before binding and hanging.

Each winter I get the urge to knit so out came the knitting needles and a refresher of casting on from mum and ...

Another scarf or neck warmer to join the cream scarf. I have a beanie pattern to try next.

Lastly I finished stitching the letter 'S' of Home Sweet Home. Each letter is being shared montly by Paula.

It's nice to be able to sit down at night even if only to do a couple of stitches ... just to wind down from the day.
