Scrappy Feathered Friends
I love little bird quilts and so I am keeping up with these patterns in the hope of some time to do another applique quilt..... each year Cindy generously shares free BOM patterns for the month. If you missed a previous one there is really a minimal amount to pay to get it - easy to keep up by keeping an eye out on her blog and going to her website....
Cindy's blog is HERE -
Bookmarks
Jenny is another generous designer who shares free patterns.... I love her idea this year on bookmarks - such a lovely gift and my favourite bookmarks I use are fabric ones from friends....

February Embroidery Month
Meg from Crabapple Hill is hosting another free gorgeous little mini stitchery plan for the month of February - which happens to be International Embroidery month....
I am sewing this one with friends - pattern is printed and I will do some tracing today. I will not keep up strictly with one a day but that is how the instructions will be given on her social media. I follow here on Instagram.
You can find her free downloadable Neighbourhood pattern HERE
Scrappy Sampler
I really really want to do this sampler quilt .... at this stage I cannot see my way ahead to do it this year but the patterns are available freely for downloading - so I will put them in a safe place and do it someday. I love her choice in blue and white.

RSC 2022
I haven't joined in Rainbow Scrap Challenge for a while but have decided this year to join in and sew my little scrappy fish....
You can read more about it HERE on SoScrappy's blog.
These are the ones I am aware of - I really enjoy sewing along with friends.
Meanwhile at my real life sewing Tuesday group I sewed up a few more half hexagons and a couple of pies yesterday...
Doesn't seem much for a whole day but my fingers were going all the time - I needed an extra bandaid on my one finger (I had an unpleasant meeting with my rotary cutter last week!)
Righto, Gotto Go.... houses to be traced, a quilt to be worked on, masks to be made, trip to the tip to drop off branches with hubby....
Have a lovely day.......xx

Wow! So many new projects. I looked at all the links you gave us and I downloaded Crabapple Hill patterns and the Scrappy Sampler. Now I just have to remember to continue to download that one as the new blocks are published. I won't be doing them now but how can I resist a blue quilt? Really? It's not like I'm on a project diet or something. Lol. It'll be fun. Thanks for sharing all these lovelies. ;^)
P.S. Sorry to hear about the rotary cutter meeting.
Oh My Goodness Fiona so many new projects you'er starting lucky you'll be joining in with all these sewing nights and challenges to keep you on track.
Was tempted with those cute Bird Houses....
Ouch about the rotary cutter! Oh my, so many projects......I will enjoy seeing your progress.
Hope your finger heals quick with all the beautiful projects you are working on. What a treat.
So many opportunities for sewing fun. Thank you for gathering this information and sharing with everyone! Hope your finger heals quickly.
This is my first year joining the RSC. Her blog is inspiring. I got so much done with red last month - the start of 5 quilts! I don’t have a blog but am keeping myself accountable. Having goals helps. I love seeing everything you do
What a great collection of things that are shared...I might go look....DO NOT NEED MORE PROJECTS!
Hope your finger heals quickly - ouch!
It is a good idea to sign up for the various challenges on offer as it keeps us motivated and pushes us along to the finish line for some projects that seem to just sit on the sewing table or in the back of the cupboard forever. I look forward to seeing what your goals and finishes are during the year.
Very interesting and tempting blog post Fiona! So many wonderful projects to try and make! Hope your finger heals soon, those rotary cutters can bite!
Hello Fiona, long time since I've visited. I don't keep up my web page. I got to wondering this morning about all the ones I used to visit so finally found you. My email has changed. It is now rsammie232@gmail.com Wish we were still doing the quilts together.
Sammie used to be Bears at Home.
