SO HAPPY...

... some sewing was done today xx.... oh yes x

I made my October Swap block ..

....not my best BUT there are a lot of HST and points to match!! WHY do some people in swaps do this? ...... another set of swap blocks have been put together ...

.....these were the blocks that Jo made for me in our 6 month swap ... I have partly attached the binding because I wanted to check I had enough of the fabric. NOW  I have to think about the rest of the quilting x

My Zoo Animals B-O-T-M is coming along too...

I need to finish off the binding and the embroidery on the faces of the monkey and the lion then it will be done x

I have also finished another little shawl!! I actually finished it a couple of days ago ... BUT ... I kept looking at it .. and was NOT happy! SO I unpicked the last border ... re-knit an extra pattern of the first border ... AND .. I am now much happier x...

I used this wool ...

.....which is called OWL... (they have a whole lot of these all inspired by different birds x) I used it because my daughter loves owls .. and these are SO her colours x ALSO I am not a lover of garter stitch .. so this style of dying covers up a multitude (!) of sins xx I do feel that the pattern and wool combined look as if there are owls wings in the pattern.

Hope you all had as good a day x
