Only a few more days and we are half way through February....
It's been a fairly social week for me... small sewing groups which is perfect - out on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday friends over here... as a result some of my own sewing has happened...
This is another block for From The Heart.... I now have one main block to make and then there is a fair bit for the border.... but I think it's close enough to the end to start the next needleturn project. There will only be 3 different ones on the go...... hmmmm
I finished all the embroidery on this little piece... it started the week next to the sweet little Tilda and some Pellon.....
Another little birdhouse has been sewn...
... and another..... these are given out daily and although it is very possible to sew one a day I just don't get to it!
These are Crab Apple Hill designs given freely for February International Embroidery month.
I have done a bit of quilting for someone.....
and yesterday I sewed up my little snap purse made from the fabric I embroidered....
It is a pretty little thing but too small for what I wanted to use it for (I can't even fit my phone in) so I have ordered some bigger snaps and will try again when they arrive (will be a while as they are coming direct from that cheap place overseas)
Tuesday was spent sewing up a Field Journal block.... I had to spend part of an evening finishing it off but now another one is done. I picked up another lot this week so I am even further behind now!
I have joined in again for the 3rd year of these - so loving them
I made good progress on my February stars yesterday .... will fit in time to do a few more seams over the weekend.
Popstar is a free pattern from Fat Quarter shop
and I need to plan a couple more fish ...... so that's this week sorted....
I do hope you all keep well and find some time for fun this week

The little stitcheries from Crab Apple Hill are so cute.
You have loads going on.
You have had a busy week, lots of projects to work on. Love the applique blocks and the stitcheries are cute.
So you, little social butterfly, finally had some friends over. Good for you. Sorry that you did all this work on the snap purse and it isn't big enough for what you wanted to use it for. I hope you find another use for it because it sure is pretty.
Love your embroidery and your applique block. Great progress. Enjoy! ;^)
You busy bee....good on you! Cute applique block, its going to be a lovely quilt and sweet bird houses and embroidery. I love how your embroidered pouch turned out...so pretty!
You have been busy.....love that house!
You’ve been a busy lady this week!
You've really accomplished a lot this week, Fiona. Maybe sewing with friends helps be more productive?
I enjoy seeing your embroidery, as well as your quilting. Your stitches are beautiful.
Gosh Fiona you always achieve so much ... I feel tired just reading all you have accomplished sometimes! And I love everything, especially those sweet wee birdhouses. Yes I buy from that cheap place overseas - takes 5 weeks sometimes to get to me!
You are one busy little stitcher Fiona. Lots of wonderful projects on the go.
It's always NiCe getting together with friends...xox
That is a beautiful block, love the color choices. You are always so busy with projects, and love seeing what you are up to. I should work up some projects for the summer, for winter, that way I will have things to work on when we camp and maybe get some new quilts done.

You have managed to fit in quite a bit in between social engagements.
You've had a very productive week, and how lovely to be able to share it with others too! Nice that restrictions have lifted xx
A nice varied week Fiona. xx
I am always impressed with how much you get through.
The field journal embroidery is gorgeous as always.
I have been tempted by the bird houses, too, but knew I couldn't go there. I will enjoy watching yours instead.
