Sew and stitch.

I found the pattern for this table runner in a magazine called SEW Home and Style. It appealed to me because I could use up some odds and ends of fabric in its construction. I'm delighted with the finished product and it sits nicely on the dining room table.

My second finish this week was a pair of socks for me. I like Regia yarn because it is easy to work with, it does not split and it produces cosy socks.

Anthea completed this lovely shawl for herself. The pattern is called, "Jenny's Faith Shawl" and has been worked in King Cole "Big Value" 4 ply yarn. Zoom in and have a closer look at the edges of the shawl. Beautiful work!

Janice has been at it again! Yes, those rabbits have been breeding in her craft room! The blue bunnies are for the Bluebell creche that she volunteers at. What a busy woman! The little chap in the first photo is a  RAF cadet which 1271 Squadron will present to a visiting officer. These little guys are well sought after!

Roberta is always busy with the pins! This week she completed a warm jumper for herself. The yarn is a DK  ICE yarn that she got from Norma. There is some weight in this jumper! Ideal for these chilly days.

Isabel loves her socks! Again it is ICE yarn from Norma and this stuff is beautifully soft to the touch. These socks feature a lace pattern and a star toe finish.

Lisa made a cushion for Fiona. The yarn motif is hand-dyed and hand spun by Lisa. The things you can do when you get a new studio!!!!!!

Remember craft day is Saturday 25th April.

Happy Crafting!

Love is in the air!

Magda is full of ideas! This is a great idea for mug rugs for the one you love. This style is based on Crazy Patchwork. Simple but sophisticated.

Izzy is having a rest from sewing at the moment and has produced a lovely baby blanket for a friend of the family. Another talented lady who has mastered several crafting techniques.

This tapestry kit was given to Laura by Roberta. Laura ran out of yarn and did a tour of craft suppliers until she could match the correct colours. This took a while to complete but Laura was delighted with the finished item.

I love these! Jill was inspired by similar hats she had seen on a blog called, "Repeat Crafter Me." Jill modified the patterns to make these hats. What a stunning collection!

Roberta is another repeat crafter. Why stop at one craft? The hedgehogs were a MUST make because they were so cute. The table runner and mug rugs were inspired by Stephanie's Japanese garden path wall-hanging. Roberta had bought the fabric a long time ago and rescued it from a drawer to make this set. Stunning!

I knitted this little white cardigan with a yarn which had a bit of sparkle to it. Stephanie kindly sewed the garment together for me when my fingers were misbehaving with the cold. I adore this pattern and look forward to working  it again.

I would find it helpful if you could bring your finishes out to be photographed. My old pins are not what they used to be.

Aileen's Baby Shower is on 17th February. Please note that on this evening the only photographs \I will be taking will be of the Baby Shower. Please keep other finishes for the following week.

Our New Home from the 3rd of March is The cafe at The Bridge Library at 1000 Westerhouse Road, in Easterhouse. You can park in the street or in the car park which services the college and swimming pool.

Elaine has reminded us that if you plan to go to Gartmore then payment in full should be made at least 6 weeks before we go.
