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. :)
Marbles are the blocks for this weeks scrappy sew along.
Nice simple blocks but effective.
Happy Stitching,
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"
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.
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.
The block for this weeks blooming scrappy sew along is flowers. They were quick & easy to make. :)
The green blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge are done
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.
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.
I started placing the potato chip blocks (RSC2025) on the floor to work out the layout i wanted but someone thought i needed help
This weeks blocks for the sew along are cactus blooms
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.
One of my projects from RSC 2024 was making circles. Yesterday they made it into a quit top.
Yesterday Chooky had a Zoom day going & i was fortunate o be able to join in. :) The morning i spent on my sashiko panel. I managed to get quite a bit done.
Pat Sloan is running a sew along using Wendy Sheppard's book Scrap Quilting. As i had bought the book last year i decided to join in.
I've joined the rainbow scrap challenge again this year & for January the colour is blue.
I started with making applique pears
Did i need to make a new start? No but i did seeing as this panel arrived yesterday. :) I'm using the dreaded lame thread seeing as i bought 4 skeins & only used 1-1/2 on the last large panel.
Although Cheryll is now only hosting FNSI on Facebook now i'll still do a post on here. Project of choice was the large Sashiko panel. I've only the deer laying down & a few snowflakes left.
Yesterday i finally managed to make it to a Zoom stitching day. :) :) It was so lovely to catch up with the lovely ladies. My stitching project was a rather large sashiko panel had started before Christmas.
I stitched across the bottom, a branch beside the deer i had missed, the eye & started the tree in the middle. I am using this thread
