I finished making the Beary Patch: https://i.postimg.cc/q7d0rTyq/P4281445.jpg I learnt many different techniques making this which was fun. I was not sure what I would use this for It is currently being used as a table runner under the box I have with all my threads for my Fairy: https://i.postimg.c...

Next time I might do a pre rinse in the wheelbarrow before doing the soap wash in my bath :roll: It looks and feels lovely a very long fibre but not very strong. If the birds leave ...

Today I purchased my first raw sheep fleece to provide stuffing for a bolster I am planning to make. I would have shown you a picture of washing the fleece but it looked so revolting sitting there in the brown water. I was pleased it did not leave a mark in my bath. :oops: What I found bizarre was w...

The Gold thread is the start of the inner frame.

Great idea :applesauce: My Sister is 50 next month and is famous for sending people birthday cards after their birthday. So I had planned to cross out the 30 put 40 then cross out the 40 and write 50, with the message "Better late that never" :lol: Sadly that card did not turn up so I am h...
