Summer cleaning

I don't do spring cleaning, I'm usually too busy, but as the weather is finally heating up, I've had to accept that my sewing machine needs servicing. It's full of lint that I can't get out, and the tensioning is acting up beyond what I can fix.
So it's off to be looked at today. And hopefully it won't take too long, as I have a banner that needs to be finished for the end of August.

In the mean time, I'm planning on getting on with cutting up fabric for projects, and some hand sewing. The banner need embroidery, so I need some practice.

It sees a fair amount of use, and this weekend

And up, and up, if you're looking at the stack of unfinished projects, so without further ago, I present the list of stuff I would like to finish this quarter...

Xmas present 3 - the squid

 This was the big one. The one that was going to the person whose opinion as a crafter I care about, and a person who has had a bit of a rough year. Thankfully, by some miracle, it all came together, although this was NOT without disasters.
