Sewing Days


I had a couple of sewing days with friends this week.... On Tuesday morning I went to Quilt Club and continued with glueing and sewing half hexagons...

I have a nice little pile starting.....




On Wednesday I had a few girls around for some chat and stitch time....  it is a good time for me to catch up on machine sewing...
I had the last 12 blocks for Schoolgirl Sampler cut and ready for sewing...


a little bit of unpicking did have to happen....


obviously some blocks are easier than others....


... and then I sewed their sashings and corner stones and added them to the rest of the blocks....


now there is borders.... and lots of HST's to be made but I'm happy to have got this far with it.  So far I have used pieces of Tilda fabrics left from other projects.. purchased some plain grey for the sashing and the gold for the cornerstones....

Righto, Gotto Go..... all the playtime means there is now work to be done!!

Have a lovely rest of the week....
