Material Musings - Slow Stitched Fabric Projects

Come and join us for material musings and check out some of the projects hopefully to be complete by the end of the year.....  Wishful thinking, maybe but I am quite excited by some of them.

These are a selection of projects that have been sitting in my project bag and I am hoping by looking through them and clearly identifying what needs to be done, we can get a move on and complete them.

Aloe, Aloe Aloe Time in the Creative Garden

Great to see the Aloe producing so many small plants, time to separate them and turn them into things that can be used, as well as attract the bugs when they are in flower.
