Second Week of June....

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 .....

You were very hardworking Fiona and it was so nice of you that you sewed two flannel blankets for the neighbor.
Your "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.
Lots 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.

Beautiful 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.

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.
