Share Jane, Finished

by Kay, posted in Uncategorized

I just realised I never posted about Share Jane the international project to make three Baby Janes that I took part in December 2015 details of which you can find here

Three quilts were created and have been travelling around the world. There is a Facebook page dedicated to their adventures here There was even an article in Quiltmania

I loved the addition of the two interlocking hearts created by careful placement darker blocks, I don’t have my own photos to post of it but there are lots on the Web

It is fun to take part in these projects – have a go if you see one!

 

Finished Sewing Project…sort of

by Kay, posted in Uncategorized

Last year I bought a rather dilapidated sewing box, clearly homemade and rather wonky. It had a certain charm but the brown varnish had to go – and now it has!

There was a little repair work to do as the bottom shelf was/wasn’t being held together by some rusty nails. They were replaced with a batten cut to size, glued with Gorilla glue and the top finished with woodfiller.

 

A couple of coats of pearl gray paint and a few of sheets of scrapbook paper to pretty up the inner tray and it is finished and already in use.

Now I can have my EPP projects close to hand and not have my stuff spread all around.

PS The cobwebs are gone too
