Ha, ha....we can't do that. I wouldn't be able to complain about her any more.

Meet Silvester the snail.  0_0
She finished him yesterday after another day of sewing.




Finished size is about 15 inches wide x 12 inches tall.
She's mentioned the possibility of making another one in bright colours but I doubt that will happen. She's enjoyed making it but not that much.

I can't enter this. It's not my work and Gertie's not a member.

I've shown it so we can be inspired to make a start on our own kits.  :thumbsup:

I've had every hope that I'd be taking part in this but I've been so busy with work sewing that I just can't stand to do any more sewing, even if it is for pleasure.

It's only the 11th of the month. There's still time.

I have never bought a quilting kit, so can’t take part in this one.

Well done @Sandra for getting your daughter interested. What a lovely snail and so neat! What age is your daughter?
My daughter has picked up baking from me, but any sewing at all and she just calls Mum in. I was even asked to fix her childhood teddy last week, when all that was required was a half inch seam to be re-sewn. Maybe I’ll get my granddaughters interested..

She's 19 @Sheilago

Overall she's uninterested in sewing but she's clearly listened to some things I've said. She surprises me at times.

Does it have to be quilting?  I have a liberty coin purse kit bought to do on holiday in Madeira last year!  Never opened it.  I also have a cushion kit bought at The show at Uttoxeter racecourse about 5 tears ago, again not opened.  Would either or one of these count?  -<
Willing but not always able :)

Does it have to be quilting?    Absolutely not @Lilian ...

Any kit/workshop project can be finished ... Knitting, Crocheting, macrame, quilting, sashiko, applique, EPP, Stained Glass, Weaving  .... ad infinitum.

Is this just Festival and Workshop projects?  I've never been to a Festival or Workshop, but I did fall for a quilt that was being demonstrated on Sewing Street, and bought the kit.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
