The block for Holly Cottage Stitch-a-long has been needleturn appliqued - I need to machine sew the block all together with the stars. This is one of Michelle Ridgway's designs.
This months scrappy colour was Orange and I had to dig deep into a bunch of my 5" squares to find enough variation this month... I clearly don't use much orange at all and I have used artistic licence ranging from mustard to peachy pink..... close enough
Since I have a reasonable size of black and white scraps I decided I would do some extra houses in monotone.... so these are a bit extra this month.... I rather like them and they will be scattered amongst more colourful ones... I have been aiming for 30 of each colour but I didn't do that many of these.
Last week we got these 6 blocks done for our 4 x 5 Anthology....
... and this one was for homework as it needed to be done by hand
... the quilt is growing......
Keeping up with Dutch Treat - I try and at least get one done each week....
... and another completed block for the No Fuss Stitch-a-long....
... does this count as blocks too??? I cut all my fabric up for the quilt ...
Righto, Gotto Go.... oh my gosh, my ironing pile is more out of hand than my stitching projects!!!
Wow Fiona, you do gave a lot going on. Lovely projects...great variety.

ReplyDeleteWow so much on the go Fiona......
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful projects amazing how you keep up with them all, truly inspiring me.x
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying following the Stitchalong blog - the blocks are all so lovely. Because I had no real yellows (at the time, I have since found that they are in the box of swap hexies I am sewing together intermittently) I did goldy orange RSC earlier so I am skipping this month. In fact. I want to make a table runner and probably have enough already. Everything looking so lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Holly Cottage Block Fiona, you are verygood keeping up with your sew alongs. Love the Dutch Treat block and your Anthology blocks are fantastic.
