First up I needed to get my block started for a round robin I'm participating in. I had a slow start as my pattern only just arrived. Theme is seasons & we could choose 2 or all 4. They could be 16" blocks or rows. I was going to go with individual blocks of the seasons but when searching the web for ideas I came across a pattern that gave me a smile. I've chosen to to have all 4 seasons for my hanging. I decided to start with winter as we are coming into that season & this pattern for a little light heartedness in these trying times.
I spent time in the morning putting the block together as another "rule" was pieced background.
After that I got out these blocks I'd stitched many years ago & trimmed them up. I was looking at them last week trying to decide what to do with them. The original pattern was quilt as you go hexie bom to make a large quilt. I don't want to do the stitcheries as hexies. I didn't end up buying all the patterns so i only have 20 blocks. I think I'll go with a wall hanging. Either a 4 x 5 or a 4 by 4 & turn the other 4 into a small runner.
Also before I started on my RR piece I cut out background pieces for a block of the week of joined. It's run by Fig n Berry designs & comes out every Monday for 23 weeks. The choice is pdf or Lisa will send a paper copy with iron on transfer. I went with off & I've now traced to first 2.
I haven't started them because I've been stitching the Love and Hugs blocks, reading of doing puzzle books. I traced another 2 of those yesterday as well.
And if I get bored with all that I have these, which arrived yesterday, to entertain me.
Pop over to visit Cheryll to find the links to who joined in last night & what projects they worked on.
Happy Stitching,

You have been very busy. The RR block is looking great. And all those little finished stitchery blocks will be lovely in a wall hanging. Good luck with your new projects.
Lots to keep you busy - those hexagons look familiar!!! I think I've stitched a lot of mine as hexies but not joined anything - maybe one year. Sometimes you just move on . . .LOL...or get bored.
You've certainly got heaps to keep you busy until this isolation is lifted.
Thanks for stopping by for FNwF again...xox
