I belong to a sewing group at church--we get together every couple of weeks for a few hours to make items for our upcoming Christmas Bazaar. This past Tuesday, 5 of us met at the church to sew. P and I made two zippered pouches each. J and M made bunting for Christmas, Valentines and Halloween. K worked on another type of pouch. The bin with our new items for this year's bazaar is filling up. We also have some stock left over from the last bazaar in 2019. Here are the pouches that I made. The pattern is from Noodlehead. We have 6 ready to sell at the bazaar now.
I did a little knitting while watching a webinar on the computer earlier today. One more repeat of the diamond pattern is done. I hope I have enough yarn to make this into a square dishcloth!
Cooler fall weather arrived on Thursday this past week. I went from shorts and a t-shirt one day to jeans with a sweater and jacket the next day. Finn and my daughter enjoy a brisk walk --most days. Some days, Finn decides he doesn't want to go! He has a mind of his own. You can see my daughter had her warm jacket on.
I harvested my bay leaves this past week and they are currently drying out so I can put them away for use later. This is the first time I have tried growing bay leaves. I think I have plenty to keep me going for the next year or so.
I took this picture while out for a walk last week...An interesting seed head.
I will link up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers in the morning.
Pretty pouches with Kaffe fabrics. If I lived near your church, I’d attend the bazaar and buy one. Same change in weather by us. I grow rosemary and thyme. Perhaps next year, I’ll try bay leaf. In regards to your previous post, home projects due tend to get in the way of sewing.
ReplyDeletePretty pouches and I love the texture on your knitting. Those bay leaves look great - I've never thought to try and grow them.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute pouches - they'll be popular at your sale! I've never tried growing bay leaf, but yours looks like it did really well. Those will last awhile! Enjoy your knitting today! Thanks for recommending the audiobook of The Dutch House - I'm enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteI like your pretty pouches. I have a large collection of pouches from my Clinique purchases that I use all the time for various things. They can always come in handy. The weather has turned to Autumn here also. Living in jeans now. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you've used on your pouches. It's turned chilly here to!
ReplyDeleteLovely pouches. They're sure to sell quickly. I dry some of my herbs for winter but I've never grown/dried bay leaves. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat pouches. Your knitting is beautiful. My granddaughter wants a poncho and I ordered yarn. I am hoping I can get it done quicker than I usually do. I warned her it might be after Christmas. I have never had bay leaves to harvest, and I use them frequently. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that your group of church friends get together on sewing days, I'm sure you all have a lot of fun. I'm currently knitting dish cloths too, along with socks. And we are having a seasonal change as well, spring has spring!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried growing a Bay Leave plant - in fact I usually forget to use what I have - I'm not sure why! your knitting all looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty pouches! I'm still afraid of zippers, so I can't make pouches yet... one day!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is changing here too, sweater and sock weather for sure. Your church group is doing well with their projects.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pouches, and what a gorgeous colour for that dish cloth. I would love a scarf in that shade. Getting cooler here too...more splashes of orange.
