Sometimes it's just satisfying to complete a small project in a short amount of time....
Earlier this year I made a few small items for my son & his partner for their new flat. The 1st item they requested was a narrow runner to fit a radiator shelf, the remit was "bright & cheerful"......I think this qualified.
Next Steph asked for long armed extra thick oven gloves as commercial ones were far too short & she frequently burnt her wrists
& a set of 6 place mats as most sets that you purchase only contain 4
This next small project is a Dilly bag made of 2 inch EPP hexies using some fab aboriginal fabrics using Brigitte Giblin's pattern, available here
This last weekend I just needed to make something small & quick again, so I fished out this free pattern I had saved to make this Megga Pinnie
This pincushion is a mini workstation in itself & great for storing all your quilting tools near at hand
Here it is next to Lucy for scale, it's huge!
As I was on a roll, I carried on & made some small fabric bowls/baskets to use as thread catchers, these would make great little gifts for quilting friends with you know what coming up soon :)
The free patterns for these can be found here for the Round gathered basket & here for the Hexagon fabric tray.
So now that this little things urge has been satisfied, it's back to hand quilting La Passacaglia which could take a while!
.Have fun stitching :)

All those projects have kept you busy and I love the cube pincushion, not to mention your Passacaglia quilt. Lovely.x
Lots of lovely finished projects. I especially like the pin cushion - cum work station. Such a good idea. And your dilly bag is cute (it's also on my to do list, I already got the pattern). Of course your Las passacaglia is amazing and you'll be indeed busy quilting that for a while.
Oh your Passacaglia is just gorgeous...I love those colors...hugs, Julierose
