Crafty Week

I've been having Blogger troubles. I sign in but when i go to leave a comment on a blog i come up as not signed in. Not sure what the issue is or how to fix it so i used my tablet & that seems ok for commenting but when i go to use my tablet to create a post Blogger won't load the pictures. Getting over the issues & seriously considering closing my blog altogether. These photo's are off my tablet. I had to email them to myself to do this post.

I finished my Christmas embroidery, i just have to choose fabrics now to finish the project.

Some very lovely generous ladies i met through the internet & a stitching day sent me fabrics for my Coffins. I spent an afternoon/evening prepping them all.

There is 153 coffins. After that i did a complete count of how many i had ready to sew

The total is 571 in the container. I've 247 sewn. My total is at 818. Getting closer to my 1000+ i need.

I'd gotten a little behind with my 100 hexies but caught them up Wednesday night.

I'm working on Round We Go blocks at the moment. I'll hopefully have a photo of them tomorrow. Somehow.

Happy Stitching,

FNwF September

Well i did sign up but didn't make plans. I just hoped for the best. Yes i did get done what should've been done during August - get the binding on 2 quilts. So they'll have to be September finishes now.

On went Human Nature followed by Elvis & i was set for a day of sewing. I spent several hours making binding

1st up was the Churn Dash quilt, this was put together back in 2014

Next quilt was the red & black star quilt. I think i put this together 2 years ago.

Then last night, accompanied by Star Trek Voyager, i hand stitched the binding down. So happy 2 of the nearly 20 flimsies are now done & dusted.

Pop over to lovely hostess Cheryll to find the links for who joined last night to see what projects they worked on.

Happy Stitching,

My slow week

Finished my 8 Icecream Soda blocks

and prepped this months Round We Go blocks

I managec to get 1 block 3/4 done before i was out for 2 days. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it & start another tonight.

Happy Stitching,

More EPP.

Prep for month 7 Icecream Soda blocks was started this week.

 I've made 4 of the 8

& started number 5.

The next hexie in 100 hexies 100 days

As i've been making the hexies for 100 days of hexies i remembered that i wanted to start making some up for a hexie star quilt. Here is the first 10

Now I've just got to make a start on the equilateral triangles that join them.

Day 11 hexies &

 Day 12 of hexies. Bella has been very helpful this week by assisting me sewing row 7 on Purplicious Mischief,  cutting out backing fabric & being a hexie display stand. 😄😄.

Just so you know i haven't been just working on my EPP projects I've been stitching this on & off for a while.

Happy stitching,

My week so far

Some fabrics arrived yesterday so i prepped a few coffins. As i was trying to get a decent shot i was photobombed

I've joined in making 100 hexies in 100 days. I had a lot of hexies cut out & left over from when i was making the Vignette Hexagon Quilt. I now have a good excuse to get them made up & turned into something. Here is the first 7

Its already up to day 9 so i made the next 2 today.

More fabrics for my coffins arrived today so i spent a lovely afternoon prepping them

I totalled these with the ones from yesterday & last Friday & they came to 154. My overall total is now at 645.

Happy stitching,

FNSI August

I make plans but as usual they get thrown out the window. So next month maybe i won't sign up for the sew-ins or make plans. :). lol. I had wanted to get binding made for a quilt i recently had quilted but my daughter asked me to watch the youngest GS for a few hours. Sew what did i do for FNSI? I cut out more fabrics for my Coffin quilt.

Turned them into 70 more coffins

The inner ring are from fabrics swapped with me & the outer from my own fabric collection. Next up after the GS went home was to work on Purplicious Mischief. I added these last 3 blocks to row 7

Then i managed to make a start to adding that row to the top.

Only 1 block was connected before bed called me.

Thankyou Wendy for being a fabulous hostess again. Pop over here to find links to see what projects were worked on by  everyone who joined in FNSI.

Purplicious Mischief

Since i last posted i've added 2 rows to Mischief. I misread the email about Icecream Soda. The templates were only sent on Monday so still waiting for them to arrive.

The 2 rows on the bottom are the ones from this week. Over half way now & i started piecing row 7 together last night.

Happy Stitching,

Mischief

It is time to work on Mischief again. It's been too long since i touched it. Too busy starting other EPP projects. 😊😊.  I spent 2 afternoons & 2 evenings sewing row 4 together then Thursday evening attaching it to the other 3 rows.

Row 4 is on the right.

Last night i started on row 5. Almost half way to the 10 rows in my quilt. 😂😂.

I'm hoping to have this row attached & number 6 started before the next Icecream Soda templates arrive Monday or Tuesday.

Happy stitching,

Curiosity

Yesterday i was curious to see how many coffins I'd sewn together & how many are prepped ready to sew. The top has 241 in this photo

I added 3 more to the left side last night. The tray had 250 in it when i took the photo. Both the top & tray have coffins swapped with the online group.

Long way to go to make it 1000 coffins. I'll need to aquire more fabrics to add to make sure i don't double up. Then there are the half coffins & the side pieces. Guess I'd better work out an exact plan instead of merrily sewing along.

Happy stitching,

A quiet Saturday afternoon

I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday watching Hinterland on Netflix prepping more coffins. The inner circle are made from fabrics sent to me by ladies in our online group & the outer fabrics are my own.

Happy Stitching,

Friday Night with Friends August

No a lot done yesterday despite plans to put extra buttonholes on 3 shirts so that cufflinks can be used on them & make binding for a quilt. Hopefully today i can get into my sewing area & do something. Anyway i cut all these rectangles for the coffin quilt

1 pile for me & 1 pile to share. Next up i finished this i made this block for Round We Go

I had completed the other 3 during the week

Now to applique them to the background fabric.
