I managed to get a small amount of stitching done this week! I cut and added on the borders to the two boys' quilts I am making at the moment. Then grabbed a bit of time to layer and baste them. I had bought some basting spray to do this but then thought better of it. I haven't used the basting spray before and I felt the quilts might be too big a project to try out something new on, so I used pins. I am delighted that job is done, now I can start the quilting soon.
Here are some photos of the apron I am demonstrating this week. They are both exactly the same pattern only the pockets differ. They are both made from oil cloth but the fabrics are quite different - one is soft and supple, drapes lovely and has a matte finish while the other is not as flexible and is shiny. On one set of pockets I did some embroidery, "chicken scratching" which is a lot easier to do than it looks and on the other pair I did some applique.
