Making Progress from Thread Head

I have been making progress on a few projects.


Finished piecing, and starting quilting the thimbles table runner,

All the best!♥︎

Sewing Thimbles from Thread Head

I have to wait a day for the tiles to set before grouting, so I finished sewing the last thimbles and started sewing the rows together!


Just a few more rows left to sew.

It is very cold outside, but a puppy still needs a run around. 

All the best!♥︎
