Pretty Woman got me in - I had to watch it again, while stitching.
I finished the stitchery for the pin cushion for Stitch-a-long - I need to wash out the pen lines before making up the pin cushion.
When it was finished I did some hand stitching on this quilt. I am making it a quilt as you go, and have lots of hand sewing of the covering strips on the back. I think I am making headway.
Earlier in the evening I worked on finishing 1 UFO and repurposing another.
First one was to finish off this storage bag to keep my inktense pencils and water soluble crayons in. I dyed both these fabrics using Dala sun reactive paints. On the left has salt resist effect, and on the right I put a fern leaf on - it worked well. The aqua was painted with a bit of magenta stripe in and dried in the sun.
The second UFO was going to be a bit useless so to move it out of the UFO drawer I cut it up and repurposed it. The zips were already sewn in, as were the plastic panels/flowers. Now I have 2 useful project pouches which will get used.
