A couple of finished projects...

After my effort in November to finish some of my (very) unfinished projects I can finally strike two from the long list!

The Spring Hare finally has proud of place in the hallway, just in time for spring!


I can't actually remember when I started this UFO from Mandy Shaw's book Quilt Yourself Gorgeous.  It was through one of Mandy Shaw's classes that I got back into sewing after a very long break.  The class was for teddy bear making and I loved it!  Afterwards, I saw Mandy at a craft fair in Brighton where she had lots of her quilts displayed.  Her fun and quirky designs really inspired me and Quilt Yourself Gorgeous has some beautiful makes, plus lots of great sneaky tricks and tips on techniques to try.



I'm now working on a cross stitch that I think I probably started over 15 years ago.  I've picked it up on and off over the years but am determined to finish it this time.
