Merry Month of May

May Finishes

This month has seen me:
  • learn the art of handquilting. Makes for a lovely finish.
  • cut into my stash of Katie Jump Rope - twice.
  • continue to enjoy the projects in the Zakka Sew-Along. And make some new blog friends through it.
  • almost finish my second ever bag.
  • fall in love with linen.
  • finally finish the 'Fussy Fairytales' Quilt.
  • Give the QCA Bee#1 Scrappy Log Cabin quilt to a deserved mum.
  • Start hosting my own linky called 'Sunday Stash' where folks can exhibit their latest stash additions.
  • Learn how to make my own 'button'.
  • Hit 100 followers - and have a small give-away to say thank you.
Viewing - 'Titanic - the mini-series', 'Downton Abbey Series 2, Game of Thrones Season 1, The Voice Australia and Silent Witness.
