A busy but enjoyable week....
I had 4 full days at home.... and they were cold and windy so of course the most sensible thing was to sit inside and sew....
My neighbour has had a little winter baby girl so I pulled out my flannel fabric and made a couple of little quilts .... not pieced but flannel both sides, quilted and bound .....
Tuesday girls saw me sewing a couple more Field Journal hexagons....
The pile of sets is slowly coming down....
and a couple of Sashiko style blocks were done..... I'm at 50/365!! A way to go still!
Wednesday I had machine sewing here at our house, fire was lit and kettle boiled all day!
I continued with blanket stitching these Blessing blocks.... some of them are completed with that part and now I just need to hand stitch eyes and faces etc...
Marina has once again distracted me.... and I have started this scarf - a fun new crochet design for me using up some 4 ply sock wool
I am continuing with a few rows of the baby blanket but it's nothing new to see....
Righto, Gotto Go - I have kept my little machine (that does blanket stitch) out so I can do a bit more of that over the next few days .....
That's an interesting crochet design! Field journal will be done before you know it.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects. FJ is looking great. Love the colours in the scarf.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely projects coming out of your sewing space this week Fiona. Love those cuddlies for the new baby. Gosh those blessing blocks are such gorgeous colours! xx
ReplyDeletePretty fabrics for those little quilts. Nice work on your FJ and Sashiko. xx
ReplyDeleteI agree. Definitely worth staying inside on the cold days.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make the flannel quilts for the baby. Perfect for Winter.
Loving the sashiko.
And the crocheting is lovely.
Lovely cosy quilts for the new bub. Lovely Sashiko and you're making good progress on your Field Journal. I love that design of crochet Marina twisted your arm into lol! It has been a wee bit chilly xx
ReplyDeleteAnother busy sewing week for you. Cute gifts for the new baby girl.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely of you to make the little quilts - they will be most welcomed...
ReplyDeleteGood time of the year to be making a scarf....its very pretty.
You were very hardworking Fiona and it was so nice of you that you sewed two flannel blankets for the neighbor.
ReplyDeleteYour "Dream" quilt looks so fantastic - I wish you good progress.
The crochet design is great :-))
Happy weekend to you and a hug from Viola
Lovely to be catching up on post reading.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful FJ hexies being put together.
Nice pile of crocheted blocks in previous post.
Perfect cosy blankets for a new winter babe.
Blessing is nearly there...
It's good to have lots of things to keep you busy on cold wet days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics for a baby quilt and more practical since they will be soft and washable. I see you are keeping busy during the cold months, we are going into a heat wave, which is not the norm for this early in the season.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
beautiful little flannel quilts, they are a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the blessings blocks and your field journal blocks are so stunning!!
You didn't waste time starting your scarf lol. Happy hooking
I’m enjoying watching your Field Journal hexies grow. The flannel quilts will be well used for the next few months and the scarf pattern looks lovely.
ReplyDeletePerfect projects for wintry days - I'm enjoying my catch up reading :-)
