Market Bosworth Festival 2008

Well - it's almost here and here we are making things to sell at the festival.

The 2 chaps in the corner made a real racket all day - with maintenance jobs - they even ate our cake....

Here are the 2 cushions I made in our group.

And below are two UFOs I've finished and made into cushions for the sale table - or the raffle.

I've had a great weekend - lots of sewing...

And I'm so pleased that I've got the two magazines below to relax with over the next week.

And here is Flo - asleep on our bed yet again.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

Hi - you can now find me at: sarahtextileart.blogspot.com

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
