Hi everyone and I hope all of you lovely bloggers are not too cold or too hot. Here in Melbourne its Brrrrrrr Cold!!
First up I have a piccie of the gorgeous doily's that Dawn designed and I have made 4 but only 2 are finished. These are to go in my Christmas box so I have some prepared Early Bird Christmas pressies done that Judith is encouraging us all to do. I decided to do a lovely little crochet edge….I think it finishes them off nicely.
~~~~~~~~~
What’s this???
All of these bits and pieces are what I cut off some shapes the other night. Lots and lots of appliqué shapes and now I am machine blanket stitching them all onto blocks.
These are a secret too as two very special people will be receiving the finished items later in the year.
~~~~~~~~~~
That’s me and my neighbour walking….we used to go every weekday morning for an hour but we haven't been for over a month as my foot is not being co-operative. I had to have two lots of cortisone injections in it to see if that would fix it but alas….it’s still sore as anything and so no walking for me. I do hope it comes good as I miss walking with G. That’s me on the left..don't cha just lurve my hat?
Take care everyone
Hugs to all…………Vicki
Oh Vicki, those doilies are just wonderful! The crochet edges complement and finish them off just perfectly! I wonder if you could make something with those left over scraps of fabric? Perhaps a mosaic on fabric?
ReplyDeleteI love walking! I take my dog out every day, as long as the weather's good. Today is freezing, and I live in tropical QLD! I hope your foot stops hurting soon. Are you taking pain meds for it? Perhaps you could try an alternative theropy, like acupuncture?
Keep up the great craft and quilting!!
wow...the doilies look beautiful with crochet edging
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous - and a great way to use some smaller bits of fabric - and maybe in a smaller size for drink / cup coasters??
ReplyDeleteLove your doilies. You girls look like you are enjoying your morning walk. I hope your foot soon mends so you can get back to it.
