I do think the shop thing was getting to me a little, though the owners are being very good to me and letting me bring my pretties in as and when, as they know I have a young family.
My Crafting Mojo sneaked upon me, gave me a big squeeze and we became friends, for now.
Here is what she helped me create. We decided to get on with the patchwork quilt. Now I understand why a rotary wheel cutter thingy would have been a wise purchase. I did my best not to get bored cutting out all the squares, had a little play and here are 130 squares looking pretty.
Why does getting the random look on patchwork take me hours ;)
Right, better get on with sewing the strips, before she sneaks off whilst I am not looking ;)
Happy Making

The quilt is going to look lovely. Arranging the squares always seems to take the longest time though doesn't it? I've sent you a PM via SCC ;-)
ReplyDeleteAhh yes the elusive crafting Mojo. She comes she goes she basically can do her own thing. Whilst you stand there wondering where on earth she went. Glad to see she is back for you.
ReplyDeleteLoving the patchwork, such pretty colours. I suppose getting the random look in patchwork is a bit like getting the natural look in make-up! they both can take ages to acheive! lol.
Happy days crafting to you.

Beautiful looking patchwork. I love the design and colours.

P.S. Maybe you could invest in a rotary cutter & mat if you make another at some time.
Lovely! I think your Mojo sent mine to me too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous to see the mojo's back! Now did you find my marbles by any chance?

Oh well - I wonder if they will return when the little people go back to school?!
