So that is what a promise of mine is worth... sorry I have not been writing about the owls and the tags yet... something's in the making, for now I'd like you to take a look on those rubber stamps and the ink I am using for making the tags.
Most of the times I stamp on twill tape. I like the twill's texture and also it is pretty convenient to just cut the length you need from the running meter. After being ironed for about 15 seconds the ink is washable, just make sure it actually is ink for fabric, then the tags stay fine and you don't have to worry for them bleeding out or fading.
Last week I once went out with the intention to take a look on the new prints of Liberty but for some reason I ended up carrying a decently heavy load of linen back home...
The pink/white checked fabric on this photo is no linen though, Dagny saw it and suggested it might be looking nice as a dress for her... again, it's the pink dresses she wants me to make for her...
The past week had been busy, like every week, and I did not have the possibility to sit down at my sewing machine to sew what I need for telling you about the owls, and if you ask the week really felt like having no time at all, but nevertheless I can look on three new blocks for my "Jane feat. Little Red Riding Hood" quilt... baffling, isn't it?
This is one reason why I like sewing by hand so much - it is always possible to squeeze in some stitches. And stitch by stitch the piece gets done without you really noticing you are working on it.

Rose of Sharing, K-7, hand pieced and appliqued
Farm Fields, H-13, not the ideal use of my beloved honeycomb but now it is done and will stay this way...
I must hurry now, as always I am late to get my hands on my lovely kitchen before picking up my daughter from kindergarten...
Happy Monday!
