Naptime Stitching..........: January 2015
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Samples, Samples, Samples. This week and next, I'm busy making samples for The Quilt Shop in Tuam. They're simple little projects to show what can be done with certain items in the shop. Last week, I showed you the little cushion made with a Moda Mini Charm pack and Perle Cotton. This week, we got a gorgeous bunting panel in and I was so taken with it that I bought one for myself along with taking one to make as a sample! I'm easing my husband into the idea!

Naptime Stitching..........: December 2014
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 17 December 2014. Storm At Sea Quilt. Sometimes you see something and you get a teeny bit obsessed with it. I happened upon a Storm At Sea pattern a few months ago. I can't remember what appealed to me first but I started googling the pattern and my search revealed a whole host of variations. I was completely taken by it, it's total versatility! My sewing room floor. My poor sewing room floor. I meant to take a picture but I'd like you all to think that I'm a pillar of organisation and...Let's...

Naptime Stitching..........: Hexie Love!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/05/pretty-fabric-love.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. My father had a short stay in Intensive Care a couple of months ago, just before he passed away. We spent long days and evenings at the hospital. I know I got a few funny looks while I sat in the family room with my little. Recently, I won a little prize from colourmehappy2 on instagram. I showed you the picture of my prize in my last blog post but this is it again. I tried two methods of basting - firstly, I was using a tacking stitch. It's easy, it makes the paper or card tem...

Naptime Stitching..........: Baby Aoifes Quilt
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/07/baby-aoifes-quilt.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2015. So I have finally got my sew-jo back but the problem with getting back in the swing of things is that you get a "need" to make so many different things, ideas that were floating around and you were pushing to the back burner. Once you have the time and energy to sew proeprly again, you really want to make them all! So I have been sewing all sorts of things, not blogging a whole lot in recent months but life has been busy! Oh and I'm finally remembering to add labels to my quilts!

Naptime Stitching..........: Waistcoats for my boys!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/07/waistcoats-for-my-boys.html
Thursday, 23 July 2015. Waistcoats for my boys! As a mother of 3 boys, I'll admit there have been moments when I wish I had a little girl to dress up. Especially once I started sewing. Now, my need for a girl begins and ends there. I rather enjoy being the only girl in the house - mainly because my small boys think I'm a princess because they've nothing to compare me to! I have wanted to try other items but I honestly felt I'd mess it up big time! Thank you to the talented lady who put it together. I...

Naptime Stitching..........: Scrap Happy!!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/02/scrap-happy.html
Thursday, 5 February 2015. Scrap Happy, oh yes I am! I've had great fun this week so far, making things from scraps! First I made another zipped pouch for a friend who fell for the first one I made. It's great when you make something with mad colours and you think it's a bit out there but someone loves it! I also made another set of bunting which is currently winging it's way to Australia! Finally, at 5pm, I finally dug out the scraps and made this heart wreath. I love it, it's totally scrapilicious!

Naptime Stitching..........: Fancy Foxes!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/05/fancy-foxes.html
Tuesday, 19 May 2015. I spotted this pattern on Instagram a few months ago and went on the hunt for the pattern. I love these foxes. Full of character, especially the dude with the glasses! In December we had our annual "Show and Tell Evening". At The Quilt Shop. I needed to make something quickly since I had given away almost everything that I had made in the past year and had nothing to show! I did have my Storm at Sea Quilt. Top but nothing completely new and. Two evenings and it was done and dusted!
