Last year I was invited to participate in a sweet 'friends' project..... we all did some foundation pieced friends and shared them around.... in return we got 8 back to join together...
I chose to make a project bag with mine...
It's a good size, will fit a pattern as well as project....
there are names at the sides of the 'friends'....
I chose some fun sewing/quilting themed fabric for a back - a fat quarter was a perfect size...
I had previously done this block for Gossip in the Garden, however I was just not happy with the top blocks...
so I took one off and replaced it with some darker background.... better and the other block can be used later in the quilt....
Pink Scraps have been used... this block is ready and pinned for my February quilting exercise.... hopefully I will get that done this weekend....
... and my collection of little pink buttons....
Handwork in the evening has continued with these little stitcheries......
... and 15 minutes a day of crochet mostly happens..... it's getting a curvy look about it (much like it's maker)
Gossip in the Garden hexagon panels are done now.... these are for later blocks but I wanted to get some of the EPP done ..... still more to go....
Righto, Gotto Go..... I want to work on some of the old shirts quilt blocks today..... they have been neglected for too long....
Looks like you had a fun week you had.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are those “friends” and you’ve made them into a great useful project bag.

What a lovely way to use up your friends blocks.

ReplyDeleteA project bag is a great idea! I love it. Also in love with your pink block. Do you know the name of that block? It's very interesting. Cute little button. They look so small... Wow! A new stitcheries project? Your blocks look great and I love the cat one ... of course, haha. Great progress on the crochet blanket. It's curvy but the curves are all even so you can say it is done like that on purpose. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour friends project made a perfect project bag. Gossip blocks are looking good. If you're not happy with a portion that's all you see lol! Love your pink projects and those little stitcheries are so cute! I enjoyed stitching them xx
ReplyDeleteYour paper-pieced friends are lots of fun! They are perfect for that project bag. Love your little buttons, too!
ReplyDeleteYour Sisterhood project bag looks great - a few people did a similar thing - love the quilting on yours (of course)
ReplyDeleteGood move changing that block in Gossip - works much better.
LIke you - wondering about the March colour . . .
Love the idea of piecing friends, well, piecing friends. You did a wonderful job with the results. I'm sure you will treasure that bag in the years to come, just as you treasure your friends.
