Finishes

 I'm finally getting to my ufo pile of small projects. Some have things still needing to be done & others just need backing & wadding. I now have a pile that needs quilting. :) Those are on the backburner for a few days as i don't want to keep changing feet.

The mug rug was from a free stitchery that Joy gave us last year.

and 1 of the sashiko panels is now a hanging

Happy Stitching,

Scrappy Sew Along week 7

 This weeks blocks are shoofly blocks. I had printed out the schedule when i the sew along was announced & didn't realise it had been updated so i cut out 7 instead of 6. 

asked my grandson to choose one to be rejected & he was a bit excited about that. lol

the reject. :( My brain was off with fairies yesterday. Cut all the squares at 2-1/2" when most should have been 2". Then when adding up what i needed to cut for the 1/2 square triangles forgot that i would get 2 out of each piece so i had double the number needed. That's ok i just made the leftovers into pinwheels.

FNwF March & Rainbow Scrap Challenge

 I had forgotten it was time for FNwF until i saw a post on FB. Luckily for me i'd already been sewing during the day for the rainbow scrap challenge. :)

 

When i saw the post i had just sat down ready to applique the pear blocks

3 of the 6 done before bed

Happy Stitching,

More flowers

 This weeks blocks for the scrappy sew along are pieced flowers. The leaf part nearly went to the naughty corner before a light bulb moment but not before there was a bit of fabric wasted. Ah well all part & parcel of learning new things. Luckily though the pieces were only little. :)

Happy Stitching,

Found my marbles :)

 Marbles are the blocks for this weeks scrappy sew along.

Nice simple blocks but effective.

FNSI February

 I had totally forgotten it was FNSI yesterday until i saw a post on FB pop up. Sew what did i do for FNSI ?  I finished making up these tiny tumbling blocks. The diamonds are 3/4"

and started sewing them together to make a tiny quilt.

Owl & hare Hollow

 Yesterday was spent adding the final borders to Owl & Hare Hollow. I started the stitcheries back in 2023 when the BOM came out in Homespun. I think i only did about 6 then abandoned the project. Last year i dragged it out & did all the blocks. A couple days ago i trimmed all the blocks & chopped up strips for the strippy borders. Today i can finally say it's a flimsy. It's not perfect by any means but i'm calling it DONE.

When i walk to the shops i pass a couple of agaves & have been watching them shoot up the flower spikes. They have flowered & i remembered to take photo's. :) The spikes a really tall.

Happy Stitching.
