This morning we had a a pre 6am wake up call from a small boy demanding ‘my cup, my cup’, fairly soon after followed by a sister claiming “I’m not tired” so rather than lie in bed and be irritated by 2 small children talking, kicking, wriggling and squabbling I went downstairs and got to work. Yep that is how much pressure I’m under, ask Tobit how keen I usually am to get out of bed in the morning and I’m sure he’ll tell you that 6am is a early start!
So yesterday I got to work on sample swaps, this morning I finished them – big, fat hurrah!
Don’t panic I do know that I only need to make 4 – once I get into the rhythm of making them it’s easy to make more, truth be told I made one a few weeks ago as a trial and so could have just make 3 this time, but I didn’t.
So I have a spare, I also have some none selvedge ones from stock that I could bring for ‘private’ swaps… let me know if you’re interested or seek me out at the weekend!
On to labelling 5 quilts for Siblings Together ready for a photo shoot.
Now if only I had something you wanted to persuade you into a private swap with me….!!
love these flowers and the beautiful fabrics you’ve used …. would like to have a go at making one myself, do you have a tutorial?
Oooh I love your flowers Mary. Well done you for getting on with them so early. I have to say it is easier to get up earlier these lighter mornings. Don’t know about you, but I actually find it hard to sleep, especially whilst its been so hot.
Please post lots of piccies when you get back from your retreat and ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY xxx
I have a tonne of stuff I was going to ‘give’, but swapping sounds way more fun! See you there! xxx
your flowers are sweet!!! you could use them to embellish anything! magnets, use on lamps or mirrors. how fun! would love to learn how to make them
Love your flowers, great idea for a swap. I some some cute metal flowers in the Sundance catalogue and hoarded some tins to experiment with but I never thought I making fabric ones! Tins out and I’ll think about fabric flowers. Enjoy your retreat, it sounds wonderful.
These are gorgeous – sadly I’ve not had time to do any extras!
Love these
See you there!
