Thanks Cheryll for having us for FNWF..... a lovely no pressure way of stitching with others, just sew something and share on your blog... and visit the other bloggers who joined in....
After a full day out I sat with a few things to work on....
First up was mending!! a pair of shorts for the young man staying here which has a unwanted split in a seam.
Then I got out a bit of crochet - I am wanting to use up random balls of pure wool, so I am trying to do 15 minutes of crochet each day... doesn't go very far and at the moment it is so hot humid that 15 minutes is my limit with wool...
This is 3 days worth of 15 minutes....
One of the ladies at quilt group has a woodworking husband and he made a few of these yarn holders. The top works a bit like a lazy susan and twists round with the ball of wool.....
I have found it less likely to pull and bounce around....
This Field Journal block only needed a couple of leaves stitched.....
Then I glue basted more hexagons and placed them how I will sew the panel.... you can see a couple of rows on the right that I have started with the stitching...
Thanks again Chez, always good to focus on getting a few bits sewn...
Righto, Gotto Go.... my second morning coffee calls, have a lovely weekend...
Lovely projects. The FJ stitchery is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nifty yarn holder! Interesting Field Journal block....it has a slight Art Deco feel.
ReplyDeleteThis morning we were at minus 43C in the wind. It didn't get much warmer during the day even though the sun was out. This fridge temperature is to stay all weekend. Lots of sewing time. Love the colour of your wool. So vibrant! The Field Journal's is very different from the others. I love it even more for it. Enjoy the Hexies. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and sewing with us. I like to see how your projects are going…xox

ReplyDeleteA lovely variety of projects got some attention. Love the yarn holder.
