KeePinG BuSY

on several projects this week...
I had a little sewing room tidy up & also needed to wind a few BoBBinS.
I know there are many "doodads" on the market for stopping bobbin thread unravelling... but I just use tiny, cheap & readily available, stretchy hair bands. 
They are also colour co-ordinated to my thread...😵... but HeY they work.
I just thought you might be interested to try this idea...

I made more HST for the charity quilt... 
If fact they are now all finished & the layout has been decided.
Unfortunately... no more sewing on this one since then...

But I did complete the change mat for DD#2...
Coincidentally it's in this months RSC2021 colour too... Aqua/Teal/Turquoise.

And another row of Blue Boys was FMquilted & then joined to row 1 as well...

Nice work on the change mat. I might just have to go and buy some coloured hair bands if ever the shops re-open. Great idea.

It all looks good, is the change mat going to someone special?

That changing mat turned out great and I love the quilting you are doing on that boy quilt!

Great tip with the hair ties. Might need to "invest" in some of those myself. Ha! Love the portable changing station. It'll be well used , I'm sure.
