So continuity isn't my strong point.

Well it's been a while since I updated this blog.  That doesn't mean I haven't been crafting or cooking! I've cooked a number of new dishes, sweets etc.

So here is a list of the newest dishes I have cooked:
  • Mini Confetti Muffins
  • Potato, Bacon & Chicken Casserole
  • 2 different versions of Banana Bread/Cake
  • A Chicken Curry
  • A Chocolate Ripple Cake
  • A Citrus Mud Cake
I've also made the following:
This is a Knitting Bag, made with cotton seer sucker and other cotton fabrics in the shade of green. The handle is white cotton. The bag is quilted on both sides in a free geometric design of my making.

This is the matching Needle Bag, it is double padded at the bottom for the points of the needles. I also used bright green satin ribbon as the sashing and a finer white satin ribbon for the 'belt loops'. I also employed some basic straight line Sashiko on the trim.
This is a baby quit I made for Ethan.  It is all cotton fabrics and the wadding is polyester for ease of washing. The colours for this quilt were based o his Mum's 21st Birthday Quilt. The pattern is a commercial one,
