Nessa's Place: August 2015
http://nessahux.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 August 2015. I have finished my nephew's wedding ring quilt, just in time for their first year. I have written about the construction details of this quilt in a previous post. If you are interested. For today's post I am just sharing photos and close up details, as I am very proud of this make - can you tell? The backing I chose for this quilt is the same Terra Australis design and is in coordinating colours. Sorry about the poor, yellow lighting in these two photos,. Sew Kind of Wonderful.

Nessa's Place: Cross Stitch
http://nessahux.blogspot.com/2015/08/cross-stitch.html
Thursday, 6 August 2015. The handy sewing project for those days/weeks that you don't feel like sewing! This summer I have found that I don't want to sew anything on my sewing machine. I don't even want to sit at the desk or even play with my fabric collection! But hobbies can be a bit like that, they seem to have moods and preferences all of their own. So instead of doing nothing at all, I decided to see if there was a cross stitch pattern that I might like to try. And then down the rabbit hole I went!

Thursday, 1 January 2015. A Secret Mini Quilt. I have recently become addicted to Instagram. Every morning over my coffee I scroll through all the lovely things people around the world are making. Then when I get home from work in the evenings I scroll through again whilst making my tea. (I'm @nessahux on there if you wish to follow my pictures). Here is what I have posted off to her this week:. It measures 20" and I love it. The organisers say you don't have to include anything else, but after perusing ...

Tuesday, 13 May 2014. Just a further update on my Swoon patchwork blocks, last time I wrote about them I had finished 5 out of 9, (you can see them by clicking here. Here are the final four ready to be sashed together. once I decide on the layout. I really like this one with the red petals. But then this one with the red as the star shape is quite striking to look at too. I have saved the best til last: pink combined with green is my favourite combination! Labels: Country Girls fabric.

Saturday, 21 June 2014. I have used this pattern before to make my Measuring tape skirt, which you can see here. I decided that since I had a skirt representing numbers, I'd better have a skirt representing letters too, and as soon as I saw Quentin Blake's sweet illustrations of Roald Dahl's book worm Matilda on fabric, I knew I'd found perfect skirt making material! It's a wonderful book, and the movie is pretty good too. Fabric is from Plush Addict. But it is still wearable, and I do love it! View my c...

Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Myrtle visits Paris in Liberty. I succumbed to buying the new Colette Myrtle. Dress pattern and decided to make it in a Liberty Tana Lawn fabric for my summer trip to Paris. It is a pretty easy make really, I only made one change and had difficulty with just one part of the instructions. Visiting Disneyland, Paris. My solution was that I had to snip along the front bodice fold line so that it would nest in with the back bodice. Did anyone else have trouble with this? It is a real...
