WOYWW


Last week was a busy one.
We had fun at a stitchy workshop on Wednesday. I crafted with Max on Thursday and helped look after the delightful little twins on Friday. So, I was a bit slow and checking out the WOYWW desks that the lovely Julia linked us up to last week.
Hopefully I will do better this week!!



In spare moments I have been finishing my third Lillybo Quilt.
If you like cats, you might like this one. It has a little bag to carry it in and by the end of the week I hope to have made a little sockdoll cat to pop in the pocket.








My evenings have been spent knitting a chunky cardi for one of my great nieces.
It is in Sirday Chunky Crofter which has knitted up nicely and looks quite funky I think.
Now I need her to try it on and make sure its fits before I knit one for her younger sister.
SEWING MACHINE FOR SALE


Maxine brought this little Toyota 5000 sewing machine over for me to check out at the weekend.
It seemed in good condition and I suggested putting it on ebay for collection only. - maybe £35. If anyone is interested email me. It would probably make quite a good first machine - it's sturdy and has it's original handbook and toolbox with extra feet etc.


OK folks - short and sweet.
Thanks for popping by - have a great week.
x Jo

  1. When you have 6 different machine already and you are downsizing to a bungalow you really don't need another one lol I will keep my ears open to see if anyone I know wants one though. Fab quilt and cardy this week Jo.

  23. I love the way you say you have been knitting in the evenings as well as making another gorgeous quilt presumably during the day. You are incredible how you make all these things. It takes me a year to knit a plain scarf.

    I'd love the sewing machine but live far too far away to collect. Im sure it will get snapped up though.

  27. I already have two sewing machines, one of which I have never had out and worked out. I tend to stick to my elderly Singer. Your latest quilt is beautiful and someone is going to adore it. Have a good week. xx Maggie #42
