Yeah, another project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
More fabric. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have loved this range of fabric since we got it at work but as my self imposed rule says I can't get it right away I did wait. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I needed a fabric to fussy cut. Lots of fussy, lots of cuts. Having played with the mirror on it at work, this was definitely going to be fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So some cutting, some working out which way to put them to make these little triangles into hexagons. </div>

First the tote bag for the boys piano teacher. ( Seems he was rather taken aback & pleased.) It's probably a nice change from chocolate! lol It is cool though. I love this fabric. </div>

A gorgeous cowl I knitted although this was finished some time ago. It was a good thing I started early in the year on this. But it looked lovely, & the colours suited BJ's teacher. Hope she wears it! </div>

This is the one I had planned ages ago. I was at work when we ordered this Dr Seuss fabric & I waited for it to come so I could do this for DJ's teachers. It was perfect for them as they spent the first half of the year reading these books too. (It seems both teachers were rapt with theirs. I think I need to stock up on the fabric so I can continue to make them for future teachers. )</div>

I showed you the first Tomte I sewed last week. This is the rest of the clan. </div>

It's been a sew a long with a bunch of other folk all around the world. It is always interesting to see all the different ways people make them. Mine are fairly ordinary though. Blue sky, white snow, green trees. You get the idea. They were a lot of fun. I still haven't done the 2 girl designs though. Maybe after Christmas I will get them back out & maybe even turn them into something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finally started getting the hang of the foundation paper piecing too. Good fun to try new things! </div>

This one I had to include. The design on the left is an "ugly sweater pattern" from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/kidgiddy" target="_blank">kidgiddy</a>. It's from the sister of the designer of the Tomte. So I decided that I needed to make this Tomte a match sweater block .. Turned out pretty cute I think. Now I need to make a whole bunch of sweaters! <br />

Another birthday party for both boys this week too. I was so excited to find this dinosaur panel. For a 10 year old it is a lot better than the cartoon type designs that start to look too babyish. So I cut it up & voila, one awesome pillow. (he was rapt with it too thank goodness!) </div>

So DJ has been watching me do some stitching. Just back stitch out line stitching. He wanted to try. Of course it's at bedtime that he wants to try these things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We did get him started though. He picked a picture on line of a candy cane. Just a colouring in page from the internet. They make great designs for stitching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He traced it on the light box & got stuck in. He did a good job of the little he has done so far...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I got stuck in. Foundation paper piecing again, & after the quilt recently I was pretty impressed that I had a clue now. Some of the things I learnt from that helped a lot now. </div>

Not that it went without errors. Bwahahahha... I don't start easily either... why not begin with trying to pattern match a stripe fabric. But I really love this little Tomte's sweater. </div>

I had a chunk of fabric left that was sewn up for my quilt. So I had a little play to experiment on some Ipad covers or some such kind of thing. It turned out ok, but I need to work on the best way to close them. </div>

I dug out the hexagons that I started early this year. I haven't touched them in so very long. I wanted to have a little play though & got more cut, & more glued, & more sewn. This is the layout I am playing with but I am still not convinced & have put it away again now while I think on it. </div>

Somewhere in the middle of quilt making I made a new pillow. This was the perfect theme! I have lots of dog fabric & this one is one of my favourites.<br />
<br />
She loved it. I think her mum loved it more...<br />

The last bit was auditioning fabric for the right hand side, the top, & the 2 rectangles on each end of the diamondy squares... It was actually quite tricky & something I couldn't decide on until the rest was done. Then it was a play with options & the right ones just popped up in the right place. Another couple of favourite fat quarters from my stash to go on the side & top. A bit of cutting to make them work but I love them. <br />
<br />
I am really pleased with it. it was such fun. <br />
<br />
However, it didn't make much of a dent in my scraps.

Again! Circles are still not my friend & not very circular. They took nearly the longest of any of it. </div>
