Arms, legs and horns

I've sewn, turned and stuffed the tiny, tiny horns on Mrs Perkins. Would you believe they had to be stuffed with a wooden skewer!! Turning the raw edges under drove me a bit crazy!!

She now has ears, a mane and a tail. I just need some felt for the eyes.

Meanwhile, here is a little monkey. How do you like the arms so far? I am going to finish stuffing the arms and legs in the car today - (we are off to the Victoria Market - maybe we'll buy some nice fresh fish, cheap meat and very fresh fruit and veg).

And here is another job I will be doing in the car: finishing my Christmas Cookie bag. Here are the fabrics I chose. Don't they look good Mum?? *wink*

And that's not all I've had on the go. I finished a redwork stitchery, to turn into a peg bag. I need to buy some ric-rac before I can finish it.

I need to get onto some Christmas gifts, but I won't be talking about them until AFTER Christmas! LOL!! Mind your business!!

Busy bee

Well, it's been a while since I finished something, but here are two Cotton Country cushions!! I made the cushion back with an envelope opening - the instructions were to sew the opening closed, but I like cushion covers to be washable. I made one for me, and one to donate to the Bowls Club special Christmas fundraising effort (a wheelbarrow full of stuff).

I have stuffed Mrs Perkins. She still needs eyes, mane, tail, ears and horns.

I was a very busy bee!! I also finished the applique on the French Collection quilt. YAY!! I am looking forward to seeing it quilted. I am posting it to Mum with instructions for quilting.

Mrs Perkins

Yesterday I started to make this little guy... well, the pattern's name is "Mrs Perkins", so maybe it's not a guy!!!

I've left my stuffing at work, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, it was soooo quick to make the body (so far), I might have to make another one!!
