Another lovely busy sewing week for me....
First I sewed up the little bee block for Gossip in the Garden.... silly bee had a swim in the tea!
Some more of the Field Journal blocks were sewn into hexagons.....
Another little critter in a tea cup (by Days with Joy stitchalong) as there is a new one due. I still have the blocks to sew around a couple of these.
Since I had all my blocks for the main part of Gossip done I decided to sew them together......
It's so fun.. there is lots of different things to look at in it...
I still have borders to do... the main border is pieced so I have cut all those wedges out....
Any yay, yay, yay... this Pies and Tarts top is done...
I added the little border and wider border and since I had a few tarts extra decided to include them on the border (thanks for that idea Michelle)
As a non-EPP lover (forgive me) I am very pleased to have done this. I won all of the fabrics for the pies and tarts, all of the precut card templates, plastic cutting templates. I only needed to add some background fabrics and the borders. Glenis at Glenrose Patchwork had a giveaway for the starter kit once she had completed hers.
Evening TV watching our Matilda's in the Womens World Cup Soccer has meant extra sewing time so I did another 6 self bound hexagons from my Field Journal stitcheries...
A miscalculation means I have double the binding I need for Pies and Tarts!
So many lovely projects to play with and so many more that I want to get out... however I am going to concentrate on Civil War Bride this next week..... of course other things may distract me along the way!
Righto, Gotto Go.... CWB has some prep work to do...
Have a lovely weekend....
So many beautiful projects in this post. I love the fabric you used for the Gossip in the Garden block. I had to search for it in the centre part. Beautiful! Great progress on the FJ hexagons. Can't wait to see this one together. Lovely borders on the Pies and Tarts quilt. Will it be a wall hanging or is it big enough to be a lap quilt? Have a great weekend. ;^)
