Pincushion & Libby Morgan

Last year i spotted a little kit for a pincushion with a; hexagon flower so i bought it. It just sat & sat until yesterday & i don't know why i left it so long. As it was such a quick simple little project to whip up. Had it all done in a couple of hours.

& a side shot

If i get sick of the hexagons or they wear out it's a simple matter of making a new top, take the brown outer ring off, slipping the silicone ring off the inner brown container to remove the fabric & it's done.

After that i got out my neglected Libby Morgan quilt & made 2 flowers up.

I have a total of 58 flowers made up & 20 ready to sew together. I don't think i'll make a huge quilt with these so i think it's time i worked out how i want to piece the quilt together.

EPPing along

I remembered i had a glue pen stashed away in another EPP project. A UFO from many years ago i must finish off. Upon investigation not only was there a glue stick in the pen i found 2 spares. Eureka the EPP can go on until the other sticks arrive in the mail. :).

Sunday afternoon/evening after i got back from the Tupperware party i set to getting through the pile of fabrics in my previous post & then again yesterday afternoon/evening. Result 148coffins.

Total in the last few days is 275. Time to do a count up of all the coffins to see just how many are needed before i drag any more fabric out & have my lounge room looking like a patchwork shop.

Happy Stitching,

EPP coffins

My finger is still sore & then last night the cat accidently stuck her claw right into the cut & started it bleeding again it was more EPP prep for me. I must look a bit silly the way i've been holding my glue pen but it works. Doesn't matter if the line of glue is a bit wonky as long as the fabric sticks that is all i need.

56 coffins last night. This is the pile i still have to go through & i've almost run out of glue. I hope more arrive tomorrow in the mail.

After this pile i have to go through another 2 boxes of fabric. I'm really hoping i don't double up on fabrics but at this stage if there is doubles then so be it.

Happy stitching as i'm off to a Tupperware party.

Friday Night with Friends June.

Since i missed out sewing last weekend along with Chookyblue, due to a migraine, for her Chookshed birthday i planned a sewing retreat for myself this weekend &  luckily it coincided with FNwF. Great, i thought, planning all sorts of things in my head until i remembered Friday was the 6 week orthodontist check up. Darn there goes part of the day. Oh well thinking i'll still go ahead with things. Famous last words. :)

So i planned slow cooker meals & even cakes/slices. Started to make pea & ham soup for last nights dinner.

My soup turned out fabulous but i guess you are wondering did i sew. Well when i was cutting up the vegetables to put into the soup i did this.

Sorry not a good photo. I sliced open the side of my finger just under the fingernail. Being right handed & the cut being where it is i couldn't hold a pencil or needle. I was planning to prep this months boms in the morning before the appointment. Didn't happen as blood was pouring out & the cut painful. Moving on wondered if i could manage to make muffins &  but put that aside until later as i had a small visitor arrive. We ended up watching this

After the appointment i thought i'd make those muffins but darn it i aggravated the finger & yes there was blood again. :( but the muffins were made.

So to finish my sorry tale of woe i'll show you what i did make last night

51 coffins. I did have to hold the glue pen a little different than usual but at least i could get something done. Now to see if i can get any sewing done today. It's cold & overcast again. Maybe i'll just curl up under a blankie & read or maybe cut more coffins & watch Netflix. :)

Thankyou once again to our lovely hostess Cheryll for being our hostess again last night. Pop over to Cheryll's blog to find the links to who joined in last night & what projects they worked on.

Happy Stitching,

Stitching

I finished off my redwork from the previous post last night & started on a set of stitcheries i traced out at the same time. They don't take long to stitch as i completed this one last night.

It's one of a set of 6 & i will either make a banner or a wallhanging.

Happy Stitching,
