Happy Stitching,
They shall not grow old, as we are left to grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.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.I made an early start for FNSI hosted by Wendy . First up were the tiny nine patches.
3"
1- 1/2"
I've wanted to make a scrappy cracker quilt for a while so made a start on that with 4 yellow blocks.The evening project was diamond hexiesend hexies on the top left, 3 whole ones & the start of another.Somehow i have gotten behind again with my nine patches so yesterday i sat & sewed & i am all caught up.
Week 12
Last night for FNwF hosted by Cheryll i stuck with trying to finish of a ufo/wip.
At the start of the evening this block just needed a bit of satin stitch
all done. Now to try & rinse the tracing pen out & not have the thread bleed. ~)
Then onto the third panel1 tree completed.I'm participating in a needlecase swap on IG. I chose Sewing Mouse Needlebook by Natalie Bird to make.
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,
Just scraping in for this months rainbow scrap challenge brought to you by the colour purple.
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.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. :)
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.
The day started early playing catch up with the tiny nine patches
After a break it was time to work on the 12 bears panel from the Christmas bom i'm trying to get finished.Where i started &Whilst sewing the binding down the other night on Festive Flock i had a companion. :)
Bella sure does love being on the quilts or the wadding or in the scrap basket. :)This was a bom from Gail Pan Designs back in 2018 so it's about time it was finished.
Beautifully quilted by the quilting fairy. Only 1 left to bind now.should never be seen..... but i think they work quite well in this quilt.
Pattern is Bring Me Flowers by Gail Pan. Quilted by the quilting fairy.Happy Stitching,
The Whimsy & Wonder quilt is finished & quilted by the quilting fairy
Not sure if i like it or not. It's a wee bit busy. Maybe i'll see if my GD would like it. :)
Only 3 quilts left to bind now.
Happy Stitching,
Yesterday was a binding day for me. 3 had been recently done by the quilting fairy & 2 that had been quilted last year that i had just been to lazy to do. :) As i bound each one i place them on my chair but when i went to get them to take a photograph they had been claimed.
I guess they do make a comfy bed. :). After turfing her off i took a photo of the stack.
All ready for a marathon of hand sewing. 1 was completed last nightA Holly Jolly Christmas by Gail Pan Designs.Yellow is the colour for this months rainbow scrap challenge. Happy Stitching,
