Teeny weeny things.
The tiny bug has bitten. :) :). I saw a post on IG yesterday about making diamond hexies with 3/8th" hexies. Hmm i have some of those i might make on up using my pile of repro scraps & then i had another thought. I should get the 1/4" hexies out as well. After all that is what i've been saving all the very small repro fabrics for.
TaDa
first ones made i then proceeded to make a few more. lolI really didn't need to start any new projects but there you have it, the tiny bug has well & truly bitten.Saturday, April 20, 2024

I'm participating in a needlecase swap on IG. I chose Sewing Mouse Needlebook by Natalie Bird to make.

#9 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge
Spotting a post from Deana I looked to see if it was about the number for April. Yes it was so I checked my list. Hmm I really hope those blocks are in the same crate as last months.
Yes they were. :) This month I need to make something from crazy patch blocks that were made in swap back in 2011.
Not sure yet what to make from them.
Happy Stitching,

RSC March
Just scraping in for this months rainbow scrap challenge brought to you by the colour purple.
This week Reproquiltlover asked about the colour brown. As i don't have brown quilts my tiny nine patches included brown blocks as a nod to using the colour brown in quilts.
Happy Stitching

#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.
At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt so the decision was made to turn them into other things i'd use.
and now i have a cushion covera runneri thought this little block looked like baubles so i added some loops to the top of the blocks & made a Christmas hanging.the mug block into a mug rugthe remaining 5 larger blocks into tablemats as the J block & the cat blocks were separate blocks.These blocks are what is left. I'm thinking another runner.

9 patches
Up to week 10 in the tiny 9 patch challenge. There is 100 blocks of each size. I've surprised myself that i'm still making them. :)
Possibly 20 or more years ago i was given a different blood lily to the one i had but i think it has only flowered once in all those years so imagine my surprise when out watering one day to discover a flower. I was waiting for it to open properly to take a photo but grubs got to it. :(I turfed that grub off & hoped it would open more but when i went back a day of so later another grub had found the flower.

National Quilting Day
Yesterday was National Quilting Day & it was spent on Zoom chatting with lovely ladies from all over the world. Special thanks to Chooky for hosting us again. It is always a lovely time chatting with these ladies & seeing what they are making.
I spent the time making up 1/2" hexie diamonds. I managed to get 13 done.
