Little projects...

Our Sunraysia group had a workshop making Mobile Phone Holders... They are a great idea. You can put your phone in it with the charger plugged in and hang it off a hook or handle. They are meant to hang on the charger plugged into the wall. 

Then at our retreat I made a large star fruit cushion. This size is to use upside down on your lap while you stitch. It supports your arms and is supposed to help relieve the pressure from your shoulders and neck.

Monday sewing day with friends...

I have a busy week with catching up with all my sewing groups.
Today was with my Monday APATCHE quilters of Gisborne.
We are only a small group but a great group of friends....
This is what I did..

Star Fruit pin cushion

Sewed a Star Fruit Pin Cushion..... Sue from kiwikidspage    has made quite a few and I was interested in finding out how they went together. I found a tutorial by Claire STAR FRUIT CUSHION TUTORIAL....
It was really easy to follow. Once you got into it a bit the cushion went together well. When I was putting the filling in I also added dried lavender. When it is handled it will release a beautiful scent. Now I know how to make them I probably won't make any more unless I need something for a gift..
