Version 2

After an uninspired start on my FQR name tag, I decided to have another go.  More stalking of my partner and I came up with this


 This was way out of my comfort zone, but I found it easy to make once I got going - just a load of slap dashness! Their name is now sewn on to the grey bits and I will finish it off properly over. Question now is lanyard or badge?

I have also made a start on a new cushion cover, to replace one that is rather old and fraying.  I decided to use my scraps so did a string block.  I am in the process of straight line quilting



And I have been catching up on my 'jobs' - tidying up the front garden, washing the windows (I know!!!) and general bits around the house.  It feels so good to be catching up.

I have the rest of the week off.  Tomorrow the girls and I are going out for the day: no idea where, but I have made it very clear that it won't involve a trip to either Lakeside or Bluewater!!

  1. ohhh its a sweet name tag, I'm going with a lanyard, if you check flickr I started a thread on lanyard or pin and most people like lanyards, especially I think if it's hot and girlies have floaty tops that might sag with tag weight

  5. It's wonderful! I'd go for a lanyard - you could always make it detachable and put a pin on the back if you're not sure...
