Some November Finishes

 I have endeavoured to get some things finished to clear my room (and my mind too!). So here are some finishes I’ve done today.  I had a couple of half finished items from Embroidery group projects, the first being this small pouch with embroidered flowers which was started back in the summer.

Having decided that the embroidered part was finished, I machine sewed the flap then the bag part, which is lined.  I finished off with a flower button and loop.  It’s all ready for the mini exhibition for December’s meeting of our makes this year.   To go with that from last month’s meeting a technique of joining wadded tubes similar to that of the Camden Bag, which has been popular with quilters. This was a project to make plant pot holders, but instead I used this to make a jar holder (its previous life was to hold pickle) and this uses strips of wadding and fabric (both of which I have a lot of).  Another item for the mini exhibition. 

Another finish, all in one Saturday was this book group book, a subsection of the local Townswomen’s Guild.  The group borrow a set of books from the library service  and this month’s is Behind the Seams by Esme Young. A very readable biography and the type that seems as though she’s reading it to you. 

I’m pleased I’ve finished three things today
