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.

Happy Stitching

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.

Beanie Season

 Thursday after making the flower blocks i cut out all the sashing pieces i needed to turn Beanie Season into a flimsy. I'm not sure when i started stitching the little blocks but is quite a few years back, stopped & then started again last year & completed them all.

Pattern Beanie Season is  Fig "n" Berry Creations pattern.

Flowers

 The block for this weeks blooming scrappy sew along is flowers. They were quick & easy to make. :)

FNwF February

 My day started early making the next blocks for the sew along. what should have been a fairly quick make took way longer than it should've. I made so many mistakes but i got there in the end. :) Jack(the ripper) & i were to good of friends by the end. lol. I really hope the next set doesn't have teeny tiny pieces.

After a break i finished off the stitchery on the stockings. They are now ready to put together.

Then i dragged out my 1/2" hexies. I finished 1 & prepped another

Little Buttons

 Another of my rainbow scrap challenge blocks is a flimsy. I made the little buttons for rsc2025. Again i was 2 months short but went with the 48 i had. They measure 3 1/2" finished. The original quilt had over a 100 pieced blocks but i was not interested in playing around with anymore tiny pieces, i just wanted it done.

Potato Chip Quilt

I started placing the potato chip blocks (RSC2025) on the floor to work out the layout i wanted but someone thought i needed help

Despite her "help" i realised i would need another 2 blocks. Luckily they are quick to cut out & piece together. That done i found up the silver/grey homespun in my stash & set to cutting sashings & borders

I'm happy to have another top done.

Scrappy sew along week 2

 This weeks blocks for the sew along are cactus blooms

Only 2 blocks this week thankfully as those pieces are small. :)

I also made up the last 2 potato chip blocks from rsc 2025

Now to decide how i want the quilt to look.

UFO's part 2

 Another of the projects from rainbow scrap challenge 2024 was the applique baskets. They too were short the amount i figured on as i only did 8 months worth not 10 & again no real plan in mind.  I did think of putting them on point but as i wanted a quick finish(again) :) i just went with leaving them side on. Raided the stash for any big pieces i could find for borders.

Now that RSC 2024 are out of the way i need to turn the 2025 blocks into flimsies. :) :)

My visitor early yesterday morning

I noticed the Kookie sitting there when feeding the cats & asked very nicely to wait while i went to get my phone. So pleased when i came back to find Kookie still there.

UFO's

 One of my projects from RSC 2024 was making circles. Yesterday they made it into a quit top.

I wasn't sure when i started making the circles how i would put it together. In the end i only had 48 circles & they measured 5" unfinished. They weren't wide enough for a quilt & i didn't want to make more. I just wanted this ufo done. A quick search produced the blue fabric which was big enough to make the top up. It is just big enough now for a lap quilt. Yay me another ufo done & now on the "to be quilted" pile. :)
