I put ribbon underneath, with lace on the front to cover the stitching and make them a bit prettier.
Mum's indoor poncho is coming on at a reasonable pace. I love Lisa's (Attic 24 blog) ripple pattern but I find it gets a bit boring, working in the same colour all the time - one drawback of being a flutterby!
Today I'm hoping to meet up with a couple of friends for a cuppa (one of the joys of retirement, having time for stuff like this), then I need to make a couple of cards and a peg bag for Mum (noticed last time I was there that hers has almost disintegrated). Then it will be back to the poncho - and a chance to check up on everyone else over at Julia's at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-196.html Hope to catch up with you there. Meanwhile, have a great day. xx

Making a poncho is almost like making a blanket, isn´t it? It is looking beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi and I love the bunting for Mother's day idea. I am also a knitter and like Attic 24 blog. Lovely colour you are using for your Mum's Poncho. Sorry I'm late. Anne x @65
ReplyDeleteMums will love the buntings. How sweet of you to do the prep work for them. Thanks for sharing the project. Creative Blessings! Kelly #156
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea - I like the banners - much more long lasting than a card. You are so good to your Mum. :-) April #145
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea for a mothers day gift! I know I would enjoy that in my craft room but then a card would have been nice too...My granddaughter made a card for me at Christmas and her mother asked her if it was for her cause it said Moma D and she said no she was just plain moma not Moma D! so cute! Hope you had fun out with your friends. Little late getting around this week but better a little late then never! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #11
