    It's not complicated Pat.   As long as you can drive a rotary cutter and use a patchwork ruler the seams join up with little bother.  Another tip is to iron the seam margins the right way round so the joins line up more easily.

    Starting with a block made from 5" or 6" squares, cut 1" eache side of the central seams.


    Turn round the 4 central bars and re-sew, pressing each seam as you go.

    Lovely crochet. I still can’t get the hang of the 3D stuff.

    Well, I grew those birdhouse gourds in my Greenhouse last summer and just a few days ago I cut them down from my basement joists and actually cleaned and painted several. I'll show you the best three, the ones I painted after my artistic abilities went down the toilet I will never show.

    Lovely crafts everyone

    Finishing off some Christmas cards that my friend Keith and i from last year, didn't get round to doing them until now.
    He prints them out and buys all of the craft things and i put them together. I only used to cut all the pictures and the  decupage but because of his ms I've been doing it but i don't mind. Don't know if the glitter shows up on here.
    This is the insert and verse that Keith does and I stick them in.
    I put the gold bits on around the edges with  peel offs.

    OH has trouble sleeping, and mentioned in passing that lavender over your bed is supposed to help you sleep. So, today I made him one of these <3

    Dried lavender works as well. I make little sleep pillows with it. 😃😴😴😴

    That is a very fine weed!   Can't wait to see the purple version.

    As requested.  This one's too small for me.  This one was trickier than the green one, because I had to knit the plant in a different colour.
