January projects ...

This was the wall hanging I made for Jennifer's 60th birthday.  It was a pattern from a book called 'patchwork loves embroidery' by Gail Pan. If you think some of the stitching isn't finished - it is - I used variegated thread which gives you this lovely relaxed feel ...

One final angel for my sewing room finished  ...

Bag making again ... I was particularly pleased with the way this one turned out for Eileen - it went together so well!  Perhaps I'm getting the hang of bag making!

Maggie was pleased with her wall hanging - here it is in her kitchen ...

Finally finished my Angel Quilt ... all hand quilted ...

Now making a scallop border for my medallion quilt ... this is the last one - hooray!

In 2017 I'm going to use scraps from projects to make little houses like these ... 

I've got a lovely little hamper in my sewing room and I'm going to use it to store all the little houses and then next year I'll hopefully have enough houses to stitch together and make a quilt!

Think that's enough sewing for one month!
