I seem to have been pretty busy this month, and we're well over half way through now, but I don't seem to have many finishes. Anyway, here's a few.
These are the goodies I made for my give-away, which went winging their way across to Jo in Tas - there's a pile of red and pink fabric squares, a bookmark, an appliqued teatowel, a heart pincushion and an I Love to Sew embroidery hanging.
I've had this pattern from a magazine for ages and made it up over a couple of days.
I went on a workshop some weeks ago on making maps out of fabric, and this is the outcome, which I gave to Christopher for his birthday (as well as the all-singing, all-dancing coffee maker which was a joint Christmas and birthday present). It's a reasonably accurate map of the area around our house - you might be able to see that our house is a bit lighter than the others, and it's L shaped instead of just a square.
And I've finally found a use for some of the fabric that I bought some months ago and have been enjoying looking at since then. We decided to change our plastic mugs in the camper van for china mugs, as they're so much nicer to drink from. So, of course, we needed something to put them in to protect them when we're travelling. I had a pattern for a bottle carrier bag which I was able to protect.
The next job will be to make some more for the wine glasses and the tumblers.

Amanda,
Lovely pieces - you do such beatiful work...really like the one you made to store your china cups...so cute and practical.
I am still hand quilting on a scrappy string quilt...need to get started on the piecing of another one...always like to have one that I can do hand quilting at night.
Enjoy the weekend...this coming Monday a lady I met thru blogging is coming to visit...along with her husband...they are from Arizona and are in Oklahoma visiting relatives... I am getting real excited.

Love all your finishes. I'm sure Jo will love everything. What a neat idea for keeping your cups in one piece while traveling. I hate drinking out of plastic glasses or cups--not quite sure. Have a good day!
Oh wow! I love that little protecter/carrier project for the cups. Did you have a pattern or design it yourself? The fabric sure is adorable!
Such a cute cup holder. It really is quite a lot to get done while still having taken trips and done all the normal stuff of life.
Love all your finishes Amanda ... but that mug bag is my favourite, what a fab idea!!!
Hugs,
Joy :o)
Thank-you! I love all the goodies you sent me! Your mug holder is an excellent idea, nothing worse than drinking tea out of plastic!
Great finishes! I really like the cup holder. That is so handy and pretty. Did you design the pattern?
Oh my goodness, you HAVE been busy! They are all just beautiful.
