Dear all crafting folk,
I have a stash of quilting cottons (and an interesting collection of furnishing fabrics, tweed, and other bits and bobs) gathered over the years. Some with specific projects in mind, some from my DGM’s stash when she passed away, others just “ooh pretty” magpie collecting from craft shop forays.
I find I don’t have time to do my grand plans. Life is beyond hectic. But I would like to use up a good amount before I move house in 14 months time …I have 7 months of madness at work and then another 7 months that should be a bit quieter (comparably at least).
I have a decent basic machine - but no overlocker or quilting arm. My most recent project (after 6 months of procrastinating but just before the recipient went on mat leave) was these burp cloths for on your shoulder.
So I am looking for ideas of things I can make, possibly in bulk (as presents - I don’t think I could force myself to set up a stall anywhere), but that would use up my stash without getting me into massive individual projects or very complicated constructions.
