Tumbling Blocks
I started to make a tablecloth with these diamond-shaped pieces of batiks. Still a long way to go. When I eventually sew them together, I will need to place them facing the same way.
A little jacket for a little girl
This was the easiest knitting I've done for a long time. Thick yarn and size 5.00mm needles, it as knitted from the right sleeve to the left sleeve. I added the buttons later.
Soft toys
I found patterns for these toys in craft books, I gave them to my two younger grandchildren. They received one of each.

My granddaughter's party dress
Here is a little dress I made for my granddaughter when she was 3 months old. I found the pattern on Annie's sewing site. It ties on the shoulders.
A going away gift
This quilt belongs to a young girl who was in our Sunday School but moved from Australia to England last year. Each of the other children drew a picture for her on fabric, the fabric was passed onto me and I made this. It was presented to her on their last day.
Part of my back garden is in the background,
Teddies that surf and kitties that swim
This is a floor rug that I made for my new granddaughter. As the title says, it has lots of cats and teddies. The backing has a rabbit scene stripe, very colourful.
I have been working on a large Storm at sea Quilt for quite a long time and still haven't completed it.
This is part of it but I had to turn it sideways. It is 60" X 30. The lower half of the other side has since been added and I am planning to put a Mariners Compass in the top right corner. I was planning to give it away.
