On my earlier blogs I said about taking part in the Friday Night Sewing which was this Friday just gone, the 19th and I totally forgot! I made up for it yesterday, making things that I can't show here because they are for Christmas presents!
However I have been busy with other stuff. I've made a birthday postcard for Claire, whose birthday is today as part of the BQLPC birthday swap. She opted for a Pot Luck card so I came up with the idea of using fabric from a charm pack of Japanese fabrics and this lovely one that reminded on Chrysanthemums (November flower) and that flower appears in Japanese designs. Appliqued onto navy blue I used white stranded cotton for the sashiko to go with it. I hope she likes it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Since being in Yorkshire, one of things I like is Yorkshire Curd Tart, which I used to able to get when I worked at the bakery until recently. So having Googled a recipe and found one on the Channel 4 website I made this and some tea bread too. I don't bake that often but enjoy when I do.
I've also been back to the card classes at Elsecar and made these two cards. The tri fold card was quite tricky but I quite like the effect of that.
And this is my go to sort of replicate the Christmas tree one. I don't have a tree stamp so coloured some card green and made simple triangle trees.
I'm going to a workshop next weekend which I'm really looking forward to and hope to show something from that soon.
