I have had a couple of people ask if I was getting bored being at home so much..... hmmm .... nope.
Though of course I miss my physical sewing times with friends and seeing my local family ... internet chats are real boosters at the moment.....
My circles quilt now has it's navy shadowplay borders on... and the binding made in the same fabric....
.... and into the Quilting Queue....
This quilt was fun to make, I gathered the circles around a template and starched and pressed and then the needleturn was pretty easy in the evenings.... trimmed back the background batik and this got them all to fit together so well....
The snowmen have been stitched down and cut.... perhaps this will be a good one to sew outside at the weekend....
Here are all 12 of them together... they need a backing sewn onto them, turned through and a bit of stuffing added then a ribbon to be able to hang them up....
My favourite LQS has shut it's physical doors but started a Facebook group sharing positive thoughts, tips etc and this Easter runner was a freebie link ...
I already had lots of the strips together from a previous quilt... so it was great to find a use for them... and I love those colours
if you feel like joining in go HERE ... I do love seeing what people are making and happy for positive sewing groups.
I have had this grouping sewn up and on my design board all week.....
Yesterday when I had a spare hour I started chopping where I had sewn......
... now it looks smaller and a bit different.... some more stitching to do outside over Easter....
Hand sewing is happening too .... I had the binding for my Easter runner to sew and am doing this cute stitchery given by The Quilters Angel on the above mentioned F/B page...
Pretty teal colours and it will fit in perfectly in my sewing room....
Righto, Gotto Go.... Hubz is working from home today... and I am going to pin a quilt while listening to a book.
Have a lovely day, keep safe, keep smiling and keep stitching... and #stayhome

I'm a bit like you - Bored??? no - so much I can do - though I am missing my groups - work is pretty much the same for me either in the office or at home
I'll check out the Quilters Angel - although there is so much temptation to do a project signifying Covid-19. I think a special project is necessary for the historical significance.
Lovely to see what you are up to . . .I need to post more.
hugs
I’m looking forward to seeing your twister quilt come together. No, I’m not bored either, but having said that, am still going to work three days a week.
So many projects going on. Your snowmen look great.
Although I do still have to go to work, I have less hours and I'm still enjoying the extra time that has afforded me, especially in my sewing pursuits. It's wonderful how we crafters and designers all over the world have come together to support each other and keep each other busy and sane.
Stay safe and well.
You are keeping yourself very well occupied by the look of this post.
Stay safe...xox
I so love your snowmen and the fabric you picked for the background is perfect. I'm in love with your stitchery and I don't think I've seen one in all teal before. I love it! Enjoy! ;^)
Now could we possible be bored !!!!
Good to have the Circles done and in the quilting pile...
Your Snowmen will be gorgeous Christmas decorations..
Have joined QA facebook because I like that Easter table runner..
Enjoy your stitching...
I love your circle quilt, and your table runner is so cute! :0)
No boredom here either. Well done on your lovely circles. Love your eggy runner too. It is a positive seeing lots of love stitching happening and we need more positive....hugs xx
Don't think there is much chance of being bored here either! Happy sewing Fiona
Bored! what is that word? Nice to have your circles on the quilting pile and your little snowmen are great fun. Very nice Easter runner too. Have a lovely weekend. xx
Not too bored here, but I will be glad when we can go out and about again.....and play music together! That's a cute egg runner, we're not usually home at Easter so haven't needed to decorate for it before.
It's a great time to be a crafter, isn't it. Great to have the Circles at the quilting stage - how many on the pile at the moment ? (Or is that a rude question? For the record my quilting pile seems to be reaching infinity!) Your Snowmen are so cute. Love the Easter runner too - very effective. It looks like a lovely stitchery.
No boredom here either!! 😁😁 more figs to turn into jam, lots of ufo's to see to, lots of new projects on line!! Your circle quilt looks wonderful, can't wait to see it quilted, maybe it could jump to the front of the queue??? The snowmen are cute and that is a lovely stitchery. Love the Easter eggs. Enjoy your outside sitiching.
Lots of great progress happening. Love those snowmen and looking forward to seeing how your "twister" turns out.
Gosh I just love all your projects Fiona! I just love everything you are working on. That Easter table runner is rather gorgeous! Those snowmen .... Oh MY!! No I am not bored either - I try to mix it up with some chores I have put off for ages & then some creative time. I fill the days in really easily. Happy Easter to you Fiona. xx
I agree - no time to be bored, too much to do!
Love the navy as a border to your circle quilt. Great contrast.
And of course I love those snow hearts. Cold, rainy and windy here so no outside sewing for me.
Great Easter runner, too.
And I just realised why you were cutting up those blocks! Slow today!
Have fun.
Gosh you have been a busy lady and you have so many lovely projects on the go. I'm curious to see what your chopped up project looks like now.
Hope you're having a lovely Easter weekend x
