Gingerbread Men

I knew there was a post I forgot to do and that was before I went away for a long new years weekend I decided to make gingerbread men using the gingerbread cutter I got free from work which is actually a decent plastic gingerbread man shaped cutter as long as you don't roll out the gingerbread too thick.

Anyway I thought I would show my results:





Ignore the missing arm I got peckish before I took the photo of it (also ignore the clippers I couldn't find my scissors and they work well at removing the labels in new clothes xD)

To Quilt or not to Quilt

I realised I once again haven't posted anything on here for a while so I thought I would clue you in on the latest potential project.
A new how to quilt magazine has recently started so decided to try it to see if I liked it/could quilt well. Now I am still going to be doing bracelets etc but just potentially less of them to allow me to make other things too like attempting to quilt.

Anyway back to the quilting thing, I have the first issue the second hasn't come out yet so I will be spending the time waiting for issue 2 absorbing the magazine in and finding some test fabric before actually using the fabric they give you each issue which is supposed to be used to create one patchwork square with the idea that each issue you create a different square which can be made into your own quilt. The magazine also has other projects to do as well or ideas for projects so expect to maybe see them crop up on here.

I will be quilting by hand as I have no sewing machine and I do need to learn how to stitch better then I do currently.

For those interested this is the magazine I am going to be collecting - click to view magazine website
