UFO Sunday
I had hoped to have got a bit further along with my project today :( I have had terrible trouble with some thread I bought, resulting in more unpicking than I care for! Anyway after a change of thread I am making progress albeit slower than I would have liked so its a WIP Sunday for me today. I'm on half term holiday this week so hoping to get lots of crafting done :)

UFO Sunday
My UFO for today, just noticed the time, I mean yesterday is another pair of socks. I just love knitting with this self patterning yarn. I already have orange socks in this yarn, reckon I am going to have to hunt out the other colours of the rainbow then I can have hand knitted socks for every day of the week!
Anyhow, gotta make it short and sweet, off to get some z's in now, nite all......

UFO Sunday
Here's my UFO for this week, the other cushion that started my patchwork and quilting addiction. Why not take a look at

to see what other people are finishing off.
I have started another raggy cushion today and hope to be able to post a photo later - depends now late I decide to stay up!

UFO Sunday
I have finally finished my project for UFO Sunday. I love this idea as it helps me focus on finishing a previously started project, I can start new projects any other day of the week but not on a Sunday!
This week's UFO is my very first piece of patchwork. I had avoided sewing since a nasty experience at secondary school but when we went on holiday to a craft and sports hotel I thought I would give the patchwork class a go while the boys went off to play some sport. I chose 4 jelly roll strips, the log cabin pattern and a needle and thread. That was nearly 4 years ago, my fabric stash still has lots of gaps in it although my pattern book collection is coming along nicely, I soon decided to give machine quilting a go and haven't looked back since!
The middle bit is hand stitched and the cream border has been machined on. I miscalculated the borders, I had planned for the cushion to be slightly larger but just pleased that it is finished. I've got another one nearly the same I had hoped to finish today but lots of unpicking put paid to that, I tried stitch in the ditch quilting but as I had pressed the seams open lots of the stitches disappeared so I had to unpick and go back to the drawing board.
