This weeks Blockheads block has lots of little pieces. the finished block is 6 1/2"
Here are all the blocks so far - I don't know what the setting will be like but I am trying to get a mixture of colours in the bigger and smaller blocks....
I am using fabrics from my stash for this with some bits from the scrap baskets ….
ChooseDay sewing I did lots of machine buttonhole stitch.....
… and made 16 blocks with big daisies in them....
I am going to be using this cute hedgehog fabric I got from Michelle and a fat quarter pack of Eureka
with a bit of extra metreage for borders
… it's a cute pattern by Melly and Me....
When I was cleaning up I found a 'mug rug' kit which I think came with a magazine many moons ago.... it didn't take much to make it up and it's one less thing in the cupboard.
Then I got onto making up some needlecases with some arbitrary stitcheries that I had.
A little page of wool in the centre is nice to needles...
There are a couple more I still have to stitch down
Today a surprise in the post. Cheryll found a couple of pretty doilies and sent them - I do like a play with the doilies and these are nice and small so will be fun to make up into something.... maybe even more needle-cases, or special coasters/mugrugs? Thanks Cheryll …...
Righto, Gotto Go ...… I am going to peruse this lovely book to find a project that I can make with scraps on ChooseDays…..
Has anybody else used this book to make something?
Look at everything you have on the go! Wow.
