Round We Go bom

I've just finished the blocks for month nine. As with 7 & 8 months only 3 fabrics are supplied so i'm guessing we are supposed to use leftover fabrics from the first 6 months. As i was putting it together i decided 4 fabrics wasn't enough so found a purple Halloween fabric from my stash to include.

Happy Stitching,

Scraps

I have a quilt to bind & decided i'd make a scrappy binding based on the fabrics in the quilt as all the fabrics in the quilt came from my scrap bag. This is how they were stored.
I usually just tip it all out & sort through to find what i want. I had been using this bag because without a sewing room i don't have the room for lots of containers. Today i decided i'd find room somewhere, somehow & went off to the cheapie shop. 6 baskets & a couple hours later & this is the end result.
No more tipping the scraps out & then having to stick them back into the bag.

Happy stitching,

FNwF April

Last night i joined in Friday Night With Friends hosted by our very lovely Cheryll.

I've been working on a Christmas stitchery which is made up of 3 panels. This is panel number 2.
Pattern is from Fig 'n' Berry.

Pop over to Cheryll's blog to find the links to who joined in last night & what project they worked on.
Thankyou Cheryll for hosting us again.

Snow Hearts

I've been sewing the snow hearts along with Shez & Karen but started a little late & then i seemed to stay behind. I decided when i started that i would make mine into a hanging  rather than individual hearts. Well that idea hit a snag when i prepped March's block over Easter. The heart shape is a little larger then the others. I'll have to ponder on what to do when i've got all 12 hearts made up. Any way i stitched both March & April up last night.
March is on the left & you can see i had to cut the block larger on the length.

Happy Stitching,

Stitch along blocks.

I really dragged my feet in March & didn't get the blocks traced out for the stitch along with Gail Pan. Fast forward & end of March arrived & only 15 day until April blocks will be out. So i set to over Easter & got them done.
Last night i finished off my April blocks for the stitch along Ruth's Dream quilt.
Now to get the snowman blocks for March & April sewn. They are prepped ready to go. :)

Happy Stitching,
