The mitts have had their first hot soapy wash. They haven't felted as much as expected, possibly it wasn't hot enough or long enough.

Pirate is back home now after his lads week away at the commonwealth games...enjoyed himself but glad to be home.
Glad he's home safely x
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing how the quilt looks when you are finished 😊
so clever, I need to get a sewing machine at some point and get back into quilting
ReplyDeleteI have watched most of it on TV and really enjoyed it/

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love hand quilting, but if I hand quilted everything I've started I'd have to live for another 50 years!
Yeah, back to quilting. It's always fun to see what you're working on. Enjoy your crafting time!!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't based on tyre tracks...but it is a good idea.
