Clearing

I’ve spent a considerable time in my craft room over the last few days 

I went looking for my compression gloves, nope didn’t find them,

But I did find a big bag of fabrics 

Pretty sure they were a gift from someone, as I don’t remember buying most of it. 

It did have a few I definitely bought so I must of just put them all in the bag

To sort out later. 

Then promptly forgot about it. 

Going through it all. I found this panel. It’s was for a door weather stopper 

I kept it out and I made it up yesterday. 

It’s used all nearly all my hobby fill so I will have to get more. 

I spent a couple of hours patching together pieces to make up wadding to fit the two new quilt tops 

I’m also had to piece together a flannel sheet to make the backing. 

I had bought the sheet sets years ago and only used the fitted part for the bed on the van

I then kept the flat sheet for backing for quilts. 

They’re not pinned. Just ready to be pinned when I pull the table out again 

It’s not easy pulling it out. That’s why I wanted to get them done. So I could then pin them at the same time. 

The quilt in the bottom is the one I have pinned.  Quilting will commence soon. 

I’ll need the pins for the other two 

When I made the quilt with the flower panel I was sure I had enough for a complete patchwork top 

When I spread it all out on the floor I was one short. 

That’s why I made the two pillow cases. 

But. While looking around for those gloves, I found one that had fallen behind the sewing machine. 

Oh well.  Quilted it and turned it into a pillow case too. 

Only. I hadn’t put the last boarder on and it was too small for the cushions I’ve got 

My brain went into action,  I know I was shocked too. 

I had an old pillow case that was was going to cut up for rags 
I measured the cushion, cut up the pillow case. 

Filled it with the hobby filling and sewed it up. 

It fitted perfect you can see the cushion peeking out 

It’s the perfect size for putting under my elbow while knitting. 

And finally I found two charities that will take my trauma teddys 

And stuffed owls. 




I covered the boxes, so you couldn’t see the company’s logo. 

Used half a roll of tape to make sure they don’t open 

And added the addresses 

I’ll take them to the post office sometime this week and send them off 

Between these parcels and the “random acts of  kindness “ I’ve been placing everywhere I go 

My stash of toys is now all gone. 

I’ll slowly build it up again once I 

Finish the blanket for the new baby 

Finish my jumper

And finish quilting those quilts. 

I honestly don’t know how people find time to go to work!,

I just can’t fit it into my schedule t all
