Sew Busy

October 5, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

I have managed to squeeze in a few sewing projects this week too! 

Getting my quilt top finished and ready for basting

Making some summer sleep shorts for Sarah

Making some cotton and linen pot holders to give to a friend

Making  a jewellery roll to put with a gift of earrings. 

Be back again soon 🙂

    You have been busy. The quilt top is lovely, what a great use of these gorgeous fabrics. I also love the potholders, these would make really great Christmas gifts for some of my friends. Thanks for the inspiration.
