This parcel arrived in the mail the other day, from Jellywares. Thankyou Jelly! I just LOVE my new knitted dishcloth, it feels so soft and lovely. The card is just gorgeous too, must have been a very patient quilt owner to photograph their quilts on the calves!
Jellywares is steaming ahead with her knitting, some beautiful examples on her blog.
This is my hand piecing that I did whilst away. Inspired by Jinny Beyers book 'Quiltmaking by Hand' to give it a try. Definately not as hard nor as time consuming as I orginally thought. A very portable project to take away.Don't mind the creases, it is still only finger pressed.
The back, I helped myself to 'eyeball' the 1/4" seam by pencilling it in on the wrong side. In time I won't need to do this.
How is everyone that joined me going with not buying new fabric?????
I know a couple of girls only have a couple of weeks until they can buy again, they are off to a retreat at Cottage on the Hill. bet they are getting excited!

Jellywares has made you a beautiful wash cloth. I've just made my first ones for her swap. Good fun.
great wash cloth.........Jelly Wares is one great girl..........
The purse is great, I would have loved to been at the photo shoot. The photos on the previous blog are lovely. So lucky to live in such a beautiful region.
Two and a half weeks till Nundle!! WOOHOO! Oh, am I excited? Yes! Can't wait for my weekend away!! Good on you for doing some hand piecing! Lucky girl... Jelly Wares has some beautiful things!! :)
hi Bec,
Nice to have you back in the blog world. The village in the snow, where you spent time on your holiday sounds lovely I'm glad you had a nice break away.
It's not hard to hold back from buying, Bec...there is not a single patchwork shop for 130 klms! LOL! The downside is that I also cannot buy wadding, whisperweft, Vliesofix - all those standards I use every day.
I'll need to source an online store for those things.
You're doing wonderfully, though!!!
