As promised, here are a few more photos of the projects I tested out for Melly and Me's book...the satchel bag....I fell in love with this fabric...it feels like linen and is very groovy.... and then bumble bub......

and the quilt to match....not yet quilted....but a friend has just had a baby and I am thinking it would make a nice gift for her new bub....
and more to come over the weekend....

A Surprise Package

As I mentioned some time ago, I was honoured to be asked to be a test pattern sewer for Melly of "Melly & Me" for her book. Well, Melly received the books last week and this is what was awaiting me when I arrived home from work today: a yummy tin box from "Smiggle"...hmmm I wonder what is in it????


The Book...."Kaleidoscope"...with wonderful photography and so much inspiration.... and a package to be opened....which contained......

One of Melly's Kokeshi Stitcheries...in my favourite colours of course....some coffee and chai to enjoy whilst I am browsing through the book...and also my most favourite chocolates in the whole world....Lindor Milk Chocolate Balls....yummmmmmm... and a lovely notebook and sweet thimble all the way from Korea....thanks Melly!!!! It was my absolute honour and delight to be asked to help out with the test sewing for your book...

I can now show you some of the projects which I tested from Melly's book...

The Robo Back-Pack....I have had this fabric for ages and it was just perfect for this little number....which I will eventually give to my nephew...

A bag for me......'coz I always need more bags!!!!

I'll be back later in the week to show you a couple more projects....In the mean-time....happy days to you....Lisa
