Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Week 7

  

Project #7 was a sewing chatelaine. 

This was a lovely quick project to make. 

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Week 6

 

Project #6 was this sweet little purse. 

I fussy cut this fabric and it is the same on the other side.

It was a bit fiddly sewing the frame on 

but I'm really happy with how it turned out. 

Don't think I'll be rushing to make another any time soon!

 

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Week 5

 

Our week 5 project is this glasses case. 

I'm going to keep this one for myself.  

I've been using this glasses case since 2010! 

I received it from Carol when I first started participating in swaps. 

It was a F.R.I.E.N.D.S swap. You can read about it here. 

So it's probably about time for an update, don't you think!

I'm also still using those scissors. They are my favourite pair!

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Week 4

 

Our fourth project in the Windy Days Stitchalong 

was this hexagon table mat. I always find fussy cutting hard 

as I feel I am wasting fabric. But it does look lovely done this way.

 

I added a Tilda centre on the back instead 

of all plain to make it reversible.

 

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Week 3

  

Sundays are when Fee releases the new weekly project for the 

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong. 

Yesterday's project was this sewing bag. 

I actually finished it last night. 

First time ever I've finished my project on the same day!

I had this cute fabric in my stash for the lining and backing. 

Wanted to save my good Tilda for the front of things! LOL!

 

Tilda Windy Days Stitchalong Weeks 1 and 2

Our Tilda Lovers Club Windy Days stitchalong 

has started and we have made the first two projects. 

This new range of fabric is beautiful.

Project #1 was this table runner. 

I don't know if you can see it, but one piece of the binding 

ended up with no blue flowers showing on the front, 

just the caramel colour. Probably no-one would notice 

but I knew it was there so I unpicked it and did it again.

I needed to go buy some more of the fabric as after rejoining 

the pieces I was about 3 inches short. Fee showed us how 

to machine stitch the binding down instead of by hand. 

 This is a new technique for me and it took 3 goes 

the first time to get it right. I think I would have been 

quicker doing it by hand! LOL! Also took ages to unpick it!

I'm much happier now. Got it stitched down first go this time, yay!

Project #2 is this cute needle case.

This was a great fabric to fussy cut.

This was a fun little project.

I finished my stitchery ready for project #3. 

Now to wait for Fee to show us what we are making later today.

 

 

A Tilda Swap And A Stitchalong!

  

I recently took part in another Tilda Lovers Club swap. 

We had to make our partner a wall hanging, 

table runner or table topper. I made this wall hanging for Fiona. 

This isn't a good photo as the colours aren't showing up 

as nice as they are. I used Woodland range of fabric.

This is the table runner I received from Natalie. 

Natalie used the Maple Farm range.

Week one of our Windy Days stitchalong was announced yesterday. 

I'm all set for project number one.

 

We were able to do all our stitcheries in advance of the

 stitchalong which was great. Now all we need to do is put 

our projects together when Fee presents each project. 

I just have to finish my last stitchery. 

The stitchalong goes for 10 weeks and 

we have lots of different projects. They are all 

a mystery until our weekly chat with Fee!

Friday Night With Friends

I am joining the Tilda Lovers Club Windy Days stitchalong. 

Last night I started the first stitchery in preparation for starting.

The stitchalong is to coincide with the release 

of the new Tilda fabric range "Windy Days". 

The range was released yesterday and my order is on the way.

 

The boys and their girls gave me an accessory pack for my birthday. 

You can get these from Fiona from Fee Fee and Me.

   

There were lots of goodies in the box. All sorts of bits 

and pieces we'll need. This makes life so much 

easier than trying to source everything myself.

There are also fabrics and pre-printed stitcheries. 

It's great being able to do the stitcheries prior to the stitchalong so 

I can take my time and not rush them when the stitchalong starts.

Thank you to Chez for hosting us last night.

You can see what others got up to here.
