The festive season is fast approaching and I have been busily [a little like Santa's elves] stitching and knitting gifts for family as this year I have almost abandoned the Christmas shopping blitz that leaves the nerves frayed and the purse empty.
A few dishcloths knitted with bamboo cotton yarn ... I am still using two that I made this time last year, they last forever! And wash like a dishcloth!
A piece of fabric offered up in a Forum giveaway recently atracted my attention ... Mmmm, golfing tees. I had in mind a quilt for an 'almost' family member, and found to my delight there was sufficient to construct a cushion to go with the quilt. Perhaps it will grace an armchair in the cooler days of winter?
And another cushion; yes, I think it could truly be said I like making cushions. However they can be a useful gift!
