This has been one of those weeks where I feel I haven't done very much sewing.... but in actual fact quite a lot has been done ... mostly finishing off things I had started
The Daisy in a Teacup has been sewn for Gossip in the Garden.....
... and the last of the Green blocks for RSC is sewn.... it still needs to be quilted
and I sewed together the little block from Joy's SAL .... I am using linen or linen/cotton blends - I seem to have a few smaller pieces left over from a variety of projects over the years
My favourite bit of playing this week is some big border feathers... this border is 10" wide and I haven't done this particular pattern before. It needed some circles marked for guidelines, and I used THIS tutorial (now an unused blog unfortunately)
I quilted this on my sit down machine (Sweet Sixteen) as it is a big quilt and can't fit on my frame.... took me ages but I got it done....
Now that quilt is waiting for the binding to be done..... it's just too hot at the moment to sit with it on my lap.
This quilt is Les Courtiers. I had finished the top (SEEN HERE) at the end of 2019 after having the kit marinate in my cupboard for a few years
A couple more sweet LTMD stitcheries are done..... I have a mix of blue, red and green ones to be made into a couple of projects...
Part 3 of Gossip has a mix of blocks so these are all done now....
Another big dresden block goes in that space at some stage.....
One of the ladies at Quilt Group made a lovely backpack (which I thought would be great for when going to quilt shows etc and quilt shops where you need two hands for petting fabric). Anyway last week she brought in her pattern for me to use.
I have a piece of Sashiko stitched (not by me but I picked up a Starter kit which had already one piece done at a destash) and I have some of these strips, also bought at a destash and I'll put the two together....
The top is a drawstring which is what I wanted with a flap over. I may just make a couple of adjustments with the straps and also add a pocket inside.
Hopefully I will get to play a bit with that over the weekend....
Righto, Gotto Go... busy day ahead and I need a second cup of coffee to kickstart my day....
