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.

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.

Hi Jo, between you and Annie that's 7 quilts! Wow, that must be a record - well done to both of you, I struggled with one....... the cats look amazing. Love the little cardi, it does look funky and also very cosy. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #37

Happy WOYWW and loving your 2 creations. You always have some great activity going on. Great day here, cold but sunny. Hunkering down 2 days of snow forcast, but I've a lot to do. Enjoy the week
Another gorgeous quilt, Jo - love the colour and adore cats so this is definitely a winner for me :) The little jacket is beautiful too - colourful and warm, just what children need. Have a great week and happy crafting. Elizabeth x #58
PS: love the Friday Smile ... just by changing one word it could apply to any crafter :))
Love the cardi! And the quilt is fab! Being a cat person n all. :) Have a great week. Happy WOYWW! Nan 7
Gorgeous cardi, and that quilt is a beauty for sure.

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.

Super quilt and cardi there Jo. Well done on the die cutting of those hearts too. Hugs, Di xx
Lovr the cats on this quilt. Well, I have the blocks made up now just need to put together. Don't know where you find the time to make one let alone 3 quilts in the busy busy time that you have. Hugs Mrs A.
Oh you girls are really sewing up a storm! Love that little sweater! Your niece will look so sweet in it!!! Sue #51
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
