just clearing the desk

I have been trying to tidy up my things to do, before cutting out my Rose Star templates.  So I made a pair of boxer shorts I did think I'd make before Christmas.  Its a great downloadable pattern I bought here.  Once you have taped all the correct pieces of A4 together and traced them its simple and quick, brilliant explained and suitable for a beginner too.  I did go a little mad with what I decided to applique on the back
as they were for a mad Harry Potter fan.  I also made the misstake of thinking I'd try a new stitch on my machine
a great stitch but on such a long word mmm.  Any way that's what took the longest and I am pleased with the results.
I have been working on a project that I can not show as it is a gift and about to fly its way over the ocean.  Some bunny egg cosies appliqued using the same blanket stitch I used on the boxers -  just love the look of this stitch!  But now the desk is clear and I can start cutting the rose star block papers.

Lovely stuff, the blanjet stitch is one of my faves! I have just found you via the London MQG Flikr group :)

Hufflepuff? You are very ambitious! But they look great, as do the egg cosys.
