Crafting Adventures: Rooster Placemats, Vintage Cross Stitch & Crochet Cardigans What Mandy made next 2025-09-05 | Welcome back to my crafty corner! 🧵🐓 This week has been filled with quilting, cross stitch, knitting, and crochet projects. I’ve been working on a rooster-themed placemat and table runner set featuring the Garden Gate Rooster panel designed by Susan Winget. I also started a new cross stitch with the sweetest vintage vibe, “Life is sweet" and made some good progress on my WIPGO project, Chicken Feed Sack. On the knitting side, my Nurmilintu Shawl (pattern by Heidi Alander) is growing nicely, and I even did a little “fit test” of the crochet cardigan I’m making for my daughter — sleeves and gussets are in progress!And because I can’t resist starting something new (can anyone relate? 😂), I’ve begun a granny square crochet cardigan for my granddaughter, loosely sizing it for age 5. Lastly, I almost worked on my Beatrix Potter quilt… but since English Paper Piecing isn’t really my cup of tea, I’m trying bigger nesting hexagon templates utilising a quilt-as-you-go method instead. I love it and cannot stop stitching, so inspired! Stick around as I share my progress, a few crafty laughs, and maybe inspire your own WIPs!💬 Let me know in the comments: which project would YOU be most excited to make?Time stamps00:00 Introduction00:17 Table setting08:44 Cross stitch, Life is sweet13:19 Knitting, Nurmilintu, shawl 16:31 Crochet, Sunburst granny square cardigan17:07 Crochet, child's granny square cardigan20:12 Cross stitch, WIPGO project, Chicken Feedsack22:54 Quilting, Beatrix Potter quilt update Useful InformationTable setting, Fabric used, Rooster garden gate panel and small floral fabric designed by Susan Winget for Wilmington fabrics.Other fabric is from stash, Northport designed by Minick and Simpson for Moda fabricsCross stitch, Life is sweet pattern sourced from World of cross stitch using 14 count Aida from my stash and the called for DMC threads.Chicken Feedsack, pattern by Carriage House Samplings, using 32 count Belfast linen and called for DMC threads.Knitting, Nurmilintu shawl designed by Heidi Alander pattern sourced from Ravelry.Quilting, Beatrix Potter quilt, fabrics sourced from Sew Unique.Youtube channel I mentioned regarding hexagon stitchingyoutu.be/bzy10oVHwpo?si=6M6dY3vztrUPNCjj@LittleWorkroomCrafts Music sourced from Epidemic soundTil' All that's Left is Ash (instrumental version)/Ludlow Coffee Stains/Lofive#crochet #hexagonquilting #craftyvlog

Cross stitch seed packets, unable to resist new start What Mandy made next 2025-07-03 | In todays vlog I share a mini stitching project designed by buttermilk basin that includes wool applique. Maybe it is because of the warm weather that has compelled me to work on my cross stitch projects, the A Year at Hawks Run Hollow is near to completion. The garden is now producing food for summer salads, we have an abundance of lettuce and radishes which has given me the impetus to start stitching seed packet inspired cross stitch patterns which I hope to fashion into small pillows to decorate my Welsh dresser. My Beatrix Potter inspired quilt has been languishing for some time now and so I decided to work on a block that features the tailor of Gloucester with that includes embroidery and tinting with wax crayons. knitting was taking a back seat however 2 new projects have been started that are manageable with the current hot climate.

There are time stamps below so that you can skip to different sections.Its been a while since i last uploaded a vlog due to being on holiday and having technical issues with my video editing software. I have now persevered and tried new editing software which I am still trying to get to grips with, hence why the narrative within the video is a little short of information at times.

Every day is an applique, will I get this quilt finished? What Mandy made next 2023-08-21 | Hello and welcome to what Mandy made next, I love to knit, crochet and sew. I have quite a few works in progress on the go to share with you. Last year I attended a series of workshops (block of the month) at Liberty Bell to make the Riverside Knoll quilt which is designed by Kim Diehl. I fell behind and have just picked this back up, I have now finished instalment 5 so I was approaching the finish line when I decided to redo the blocks in Instalment 1. I was not pleased with my initial applique and so every day I have been stitching these blocks again. At one of the workshops a kind lady told me about the starch method, therefore I decided when I redid the applique to use this technique and share with you the process.I have also sorted out 2 projects for my WIPGO and feel quite optimistic that I can get some green squares on my board. My other stitchy projects that I show are progressing nicely and I have a new crochet cast on.Please leave me a comment down below and tell me which crafty project your currently working on and thank you for watching.

Episode 20:- Enjoying the slow pace of stitching What Mandy made next 2023-05-11 | Everything these past two weeks has involved stitching by hand.
