Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

My new year's eve is spent sewing, not by choice but by error.  All I can say is prewash your new fabrics- I rarely do and it has caught up with me, I have been a naughty girl and learnt my lesson the hard way.
I wave goodbye to my favourite makes of 2010- it is the top left project that has given me a whole evening of trouble, dereliction of my duties as a partner and mother etc......
1. Suzuko Koseki coaster- start, 2. Peg Bag, 3. Kathy's Mug Rug, 4. Sleeping Beauty Pillow/Cushion, 5.Texty graphics Pillow/Cushion , 6. Traveling wallet, 7. Tree Forest Quilt Block, 8. Lavender bag for Ingrid, 9. Man mug rug Front, 10. Starbright pot holder/mug rug back, 11. Mug rug, 12. Slice of pie block, 13. Little Red Riding Hood gathering apples, 14. Vintage Spools Block for me!, 15. pot holder cut out, 16. teeny pincushion, 17. Apple Coasters, 18. True Colors Mini quilt, 19. Pincushion caddy, 20. dog pin cut out ready, 21. Pochee 7 Tunic in AMH Little Folks voile fabric, 22. Pochee Linen Saddle Bag- front, 23. P1050521, 24. Phone Cozy Cover- linen, miniature log cabin patchwork, 25. Kathy's Purse

Say hello to 2011- maybe a retro song to welcome it in?  Nothing like a bit of vintage, trends may come and go and I don't really care, I will always be a vintage girl- Happy New Year x

    which new fabric was the culprit? I never prewash simply because in order to be effective, you would need one load per piece of fabric so you don't stain the other new fabrics. If there's a culprit and I own it, I'd love to know.

    Happy New Year, Kerry! I don't pre-wash, either, but I do put shout color-catchers in the wash and have used synthrapol for one quilt that looked like it had bled a little and it took the bleeding out. Have you tried that?

    I'm so glad to have found your blog this year. You do such beautiful, creative things.

    I just love your pincushion caddy! I tried and failed twice in making that damn thing but I love it so!!

    Think i'll try again soon now I have more sewing experience and if I fail miserably I'll be back to commission you!!!

    Happy New Year!
