I bought some plain white linen to make a pillow case. I've tranfered a lovely floral design and I am going to work it in pastel colours. No progress so far, but I should have some done by tomorrow. The weather has started to heat up so sewing is a bit harder.

I also got some 400 count colour ready made pillow cases. I am going to put designs on them as well. I know a higher thread count is meant to be better, but I think these feel rather hard.

I don't have solid doors on a couple of the rooms of my house. But I need to be able to shut the rooms off to keep hot/cold air in. So I've made hangings to go over the doorways. The current ones I have are from two colours shemes ago and look like crap - Note: Indian cotton that is dyed multiple colours does not wash well!

So I went to Spotlight yesterday. I was going to get some heavy duty fabric to make a new door hanging. But when I checked the curtain section again I was able to find a curtain the matched the new couch covers I got earlier. So with a minimal amount of sewing, I have a new door hanging, that not only better matches the new colour scheme, but that also matches the couches! ;-)

I was finally able to get another tea towel, so I can get the final Rooster done. I should be able to get it done this weekend. Once I send it to my sister, I will get her to take a photo of the finished set and post that.

My sister and her husband came for a quick visit. They've been staying with my Dad. We went out for dinner at the RSL and then played poker when we got home, as well as having a chat. I gave the 6 completed rooster tea towels to her. I think she liked them. Her hubby has been told they are not to be used!
