Hello, I thought I'd do a quick post today to let you know Yvonne is recuperating at home following her angiogram. She's very tired and sore as expected but in good form otherwise. Thanks for all your well wishes :)
While I'm here I'll tell you a few other bits of news :) I was recently invited to join a new UK bee called
hipBees. I'm so excited to be joining a great group of ladies for a year of sewing fun! There are lots of familiar names in there along with some that are new to me, so it will be lovely to play along and get to know each other.

I've taken on the first month's Queen bee responsibilities so you'll be hearing a lot more about this bee as I prepare for August :) I don't remember if I mentioned that I'm joining in with the
In the frame purse swap over on flickr. I've been procrastinating for the last week over what to do for my partner and today I finally made a start.
I had to be cocky and choose a frame with a centre panel for my first glue in purse didn't I?! I'm sure it will be fine.....I've loosely based my design on
this fabulous purse by
Kerry which was in lots of people's inspiration mosaics. I say loosely based because my fussy cutting skills and fabric choices are way off the heights of Kerry's brilliance but I hope that the finished article will be even half as effective as hers.
I've used a cute bird house print for the lining.
All ready for the final seam to attach lining to exterior.
Next stop turn inside out and glue!! Here's hoping for a good result with minimum mess :) Catch you soon x

I did wonder if anyone would be brave enough to try one of these frames. I reckon this is going to look great!!! Glad to hear Yvonne is doing well - hope that continues. I am so excited about hipbee's. Just no picking a scary block! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI presume that purse is for me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on Yvonne. Give her our good wishes. You are brave with your framed purse. If it isn't for Susan then is it for me!? I am looking forward to our hipBee starting. I am glad that I'm not first as I can learn from you! Di x
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that Yvonne is through her procedure - I wish her a speedy recuperation.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your finished purse, looks good so far.
Love to Yvonne, and can't wait to see th finished purse and Bee block choice x

ReplyDeleteI've not seen one of these frames before, I'll have to have a look for them! I've seen your finished purse on Flickr and it's AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Yvonne's recovering from her procedure - please give her my love xx
Did you use batting or interfacing for the purse? Must check that pattern.. Looks great!
