Woodland Stitchalong Week 9

 

Our project for week 9 was this flex frame pouch. 

I decided to do a bit of fussy cutting for mine.

This is the back.

So now I know how to use a flex frame. 

That's another technique I've learnt during the stitchalong.

Next week will be our last for the stitchalong. 

We've still got some lovely items left in our accessory packs 

so it's going to be interesting to see what we're making.

Woodland Stitchalong Week 8

 

For this week's challenge we made a project bag.

A zipped section and a pocket on the front.

My mitred binding went well. 

Can't believe I always thought it was hard to do! 
 I wonder what we'll be making next.

 

Woodland Stitchalong Week 7

 

Our project for week 7 of the Tilda Lovers Club 

Woodland Stitchalong was this cushion. 

Doing binding on a cushion is a first for me. 

Did a quick trip to the quilt shop for more of the red fabric this morning. 

I may just have bought another piece of Tilda home with me as well!

I've been quilting since 1993 and this is the first time 

I have ever done binding with mitred corners.  

Fee's tutorial showed just how easy it was to do. 

I know how I'll be doing my binding from now on!

Woodland Stitchalong Week 6

  

This week we finally got to use our bunny purse frames.

My purse stitched and put together.

 

Then disaster! The purse didn't fit the frame. 

I went back and checked the pattern download and print settings. 

For some reason, the settings had changed to "shrink oversize pages"

instead of "print actual size" which I always have set. 

I have no idea how this happened. 

Needless to say, my purse template printed out too small.

I now need to make another purse to fit the bunny frame.

 I'll buy another frame that fits this one and finish it off.

I was so disappointed (insert sad face). 

Now to decide whether I buy more of this green as 

I don't have enough left or use one of the other fabrics.

Woodland Stitchalong Week 5

 

I forgot to post about week 5's project for the Tilda Lovers Club 

Woodland Stitchalong. This week we made Easter egg scatters. 

I'm sure I'll be making more of these at some point. 

Imagine a basket filled with lots of different eggs!

Now to wait for Fee to announce this week's project later today. 

I wonder what it will be!

Woodand Stitchalong Week 4

 

This week's project for the Tilda Woodland Stitchalong 

was this lovely little fabric basket. I think I'll be making more of these!

Woodland Stitchalong Week 3

Week 3's project is a hoop pouch. 

I don't use a hoop and haven't decided what I'll do with it. 

It may end up in the gift cupboard. 

We had to add a magnetic clip which I hadn't done before. 

I've had some of these in my stash for years, not even sure 

where I got them. Now I know how to put one in!

 

Woodland Stitchalong Week 2

Our project for week 2 of the Tilda Woodland Stitchalong 

was this zippy pouch.

It may have taken me 3 attempts with the 

second side of the zip but I eventually got it right!

I found this cute butterfly charm in my stash.

Woodland Stitchalong Week 1

 The Tilda Lovers Club Woodland Stitchalong has begun.

Our first project is this candle mat.

I used the gorgeous tree fabric for my backing.

I'm looking forward to week 2's challenge!
