Sewing activities - projects to finish

At some point, I will finish the patchwork star cushion cover I started in September 2014.
Since then, I also started:
an Advent bunting (2 workshops with French Knots in Sale in Nov14),
a Dorset brooch that I carry in my handbag at all times - easy to keep oneself occupied whilst waiting (Jan15),
a patchwork clock (just need to sew the buttons) (Jan15) and
a bamboo handle bag (missed half of the workshop because I was finishing some work at home; at least I had time to cut the fabric - Feb15).

I did manage to finish the squishy patchwork cushion I started on 31/03/15:


I also had a lovely time at the parent and child sewing workshop. The options were an owl or a dog, but DS1 wanted to make a dinosaur:


DS1 chose the fabrics and learned to pin the pattern to the fabric and to do running stitch and back stitch, and to sew on buttons.
