HOME SWEET HOME
I'm going to be very busy this year as I have another project on the go and this one I plan to share with you. Starting on January 9th I will publish monthly patterns for a large penny rug. It could also be made into a wall hanging. It will run for 10 months so should be finished well before Christmas.
I'm making mine in felt but of course you could use other fabric if you want. I hope you'll join me, it should be fun.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF
I'm also hoping to share a fabulous free pattern from a generous blogger each day. They will then be listed on the Fabulous Free Stuff page at the top of my blog. I think it will be a good way to share fun things I find and also will give me my own list of projects I'd like to make.So here's my first find -
The Bapron - A cross between an apron and a bib. Kindly shared by Jess at Craftiness is Not an Option.
I'VE BEEN MAKING
... a present for Rachael Daisy 
and a swap block and gifties for Isabelle in France

Golly - just as I decide I am not going to start any more projects, you put more temptation in my way! Your penny rug bom sounds very interesting so I'll be watching with interest! Love the gifts you've been making - your creativity seems to know no bounds :-)
ReplyDeleteYour projects look so good Mel...the BOM sounds like fun...
ReplyDeleteOh Melody how could you !!! I promised my self no more new projects, but I have always want to make a penny rug. So count my in.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Melody! What a great idea, lovely projects, and your penny rug project sounds fantastic... I wonder if I have enough felt... :) I'll be back on the 9th! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Melody - all of your plans sound wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Melody. Your project seems great. I love working with felt.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

a lovely start to the year with those goodies.
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to seeing your project, I have a lovely stash of felted wool from Fiona, would be lovely to put it to use.
Just what I need. Another project to do. LOL And who can resist?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait. And yes, I know, I don't need any new projects - but this one is too hard to resist. Looking forward to seeing the first part. What a fabulous idea for the bib - my niece has three littlies so it would make a great gift for her. You have been so busy - love the gifts you have made. Hexies and log cabins - absolute favourites. A log cabin was the first quilt I ever made and I think it will always be a favourite with me. Take care and Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteI am stacking up the projects for 2012!! Thanks for the upcoming fun! So excited! Loving the new year!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be interested to see your penny rug. I do enjoy working with felt.
ReplyDeleteI am also keen to try the bapron for the grandies. Thank you.
How are you progressing since the deluge on Christmas Day?
Well I love the sound of that - I can't wait to see! Thanks for the link, too! Your projects are lovely!
ReplyDeleteSounds most interesting. Can you suggest other fabrics to use in place of felt. Looking forward to the next episode.
