Sorry about the dodgy picture. The weather here has been quite depressing and I took this picture last night with my phone.<\/p>\n<p>I took a little break from hand sewing to start a quick knitting project but have gone back to it now as my elbow and wrist don&#8217;t like me knitting for too long. Getting old, I believe. I will show you what I&#8217;m knitting once it&#8217;s finished and has been gifted to a certain lovely lady.<\/p>\n<p>When I first started sewing the plan was to make a cushion in pink and aqua.

If I&#8217;m lucky I might be able to turn this into a quilt big enough for a single bed.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest problem, however, was to find enough scraps in my scrap bin for all the wheels. As I haven&#8217;t been quilting for very long, I don&#8217;t have a huge scrap bin but I needn&#8217;t have worried.
