Some stitching projects done!!

I have been so busy with all the small finishing touches to the house and have now had some time to do some stitching again. Well l decided to cover these chair cushions that have been coverless for a while now. Just love the new shwe shwe fabric colorways and seeing as my craft room is not on the sunny side of the house I decided to use the reds. Made the curtains and then decided to cover the cushions in red in a different print. Well its came out very nice and now l have decided to paint the wood in a red color with Granny B paints. Well before anyone says one does not paint wood, these are old chairs and not so solid anymore but still work for extra seating in my sewing room. They have been through floods and have been used very rough by kids and me and pets.So after all their hard lives they now need a new lease in life with a bit of pampering in color. Had fun stitching these covers. First it seems that I forgot how to put in a zip the proper way and when I got to the last cover I had remembered how to and that got me laughing as I have put in many zips over the years and here after not sewing in a while I just could not put in a zip the proper way. Well at least its now done and they look great already.

Hubby and Matthew have started putting up the fencing to have a bit of privacy from neighbours and its looking so nice. Have noticed here in Port Alfred you dont use iron anything because of the rust. So we decided on this fencing and it looks great. 

Have been working on a scrappy memory quilt for our bed and have decided to use all the lovely fabrics I have collected over the years and have cut just squares and joined them into a very basic block quilt. While cutting the blocks and going thru my fabrics, I can remember the history of most of my fabrics, so I will name this my scrappy memory quilt. Will post a picture of the quilt top when done!

Well we went to Port Elizabeth on Friday for the first time since we relocated here and it was to buy some tiles and stuff a bit well a whole lot cheaper than in a small town like ours. I am really so over travelling all over the country that I am in no mood to travel any distance further the the mall or to town. So this week will be tiling week again but then its the last on our list of tiling and its my craft room that gets tiled at last.
