Feeling the heat and humidity tonight so while I'm up I'll chat to my online friends!
This block for Civil War Bride has taken me a long time.... I've been lucky if I sew one leaf in a night - and you can see there were a lot of leaves!!
I did make lots of masks.....
Christmas ones......
This is my Happy Christmas face!
I made these little pouches for a group of stitching friends... there were 6 in total ....
a sewing girl on each side... they can be used for glasses, rotary cutters, knick knacks etc and have those clever little metal squeeze closures.....
... went down very well .....
I am planning on lots of my own sewing over the next couple of weeks....
Splendid Sampler was made in 2016 ... and has a backing pieced from the left over fabrics (and a couple of extra blocks)
I have loaded her on the frame ...
My Sista's (Mama Tembo) was made in 2019 but it is too big for the frame so I have pinned it and will quilt on the Sweet Sixteen....
It's hard on the shoulders so when I need a break I can stand up and play on the frame... that room is such a fun place
I also want to go through cupboards and sort out UFO's etc - I do like to have some sort of plan/list to work on. I know I have been tempted by a few quilts and projects and not started them.
Righto, Gotto Go, I am yawning away now..... hopefully will drop off quickly
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.....xx

Yea - it is ao hot & humid - I am very grateful for my air con.
I really do love your Civil War block - Reproductions really do not do it for me - as you know - but I do really like yours - it's more colorful than some I see.
I am sure the trifles went down well - imagine not wanting sherry !!! LOL
Cute little pouches too - love those fabrics.
Good luck sorting & planning - you do it so well!
Merry Christmas to you & Dave
Beautiful Civil War block…
Those marks look comfortable under your glasses 🤓…
Handy cute pouches , I’m sure the truffle went down well , both of them…
What fun to have both machines to play on…
Enjoy making your plans for 2022.
love those pouches, fun pictures. Enjoy your sewing time, looking forward to seeing what you do
The Civil War Bride block is amazing! You made some really cute masks and it was nice to 'see' you :)
Hope you have a wonderful holiday, Fiona!
Love the Civil War block, it's so pretty - and worth the time it took to make! I suspect we will be back in indoor masks again before too long and we've only been out of them for a week....sigh......yes, 'tis the season of peace, goodwill and lots of sewing!
Gorgeous Bride block. The masks look good & i love those pouches. Hugs, xx
Love your CWB block. Gorgeous! Love your Happy Christmas face with Grinch! LOLLL The little pouches are just adorable. I'm the big hair girl in the blue dress. Yep, that's me, lol. They are so much fun. Enjoy! ;^)
LOVE your latest civil war bride block. The colours you have chosen look beautiful.
It would be great if the temp dropped to winter levels at night so we could sleep well. A few hot days here and I'm already done.
your masks are so cute- very designer.
can't wait to see your finished quilts. Enjoy and look forward to seeing your list.
You look very stylish in your Christmas mask. I’m slack and am just using the disposables. It does look like you are having fun in your sewing room and the Civil War Bride block is looking stunning, as they all do. Good luck with your planning for bnext year.
Such a pretty block Fiona. Masks, I fear, will be with us for some time to come so good to ring the changes. Great fun pouches for your friends and proper trifle too! It will be good to see those old friends quilted up - and maybe more to come in the new year! Enjoy your 'me' stitching. xx
Wow so many leaves to needle turn, very colourful masks, I made some back at the beginning, but a lot of places refused entry unless you had the medical ones. I´m sure everyone enjoyed your trifle, wonder if much stitching was done lol. enjoy planning your future stitching xcx
I hope you managed to get back to sleep. Your masks look great, the Christmas ones are a good idea.
Have fun with your quilting.
I hope you managed to get back to sleep too, Love your mask, that is my attitude to Christmas this year too! So good to have the two machines to work on, I think Santa might be bringing me a sewing chair like yours! Your Civil War bride block is stunning Fiona, great pouches, Splendid Sampler will be finished soon I see! Looking forward to seeing your UFO's come out to play.
Love your CWB block lots of pretty fabrics. Great fun fabric for the pouches im sure your friends will love them. Looks like a great design for masks they look great.
Nothing worse than trying to sleep on a hot night. And even when you do, yo do not wake up feeling refreshed.
You have kept busy with all your quilt work. And lots of lovely gifts.
Glad the heat hasn't stopped you.
The humidity has been horrible! Another beautiful CWB block and definitely worth all those leaves. Trifle looks yum and the masks are great!
I do love the Sistas quilt xx
the civil war bride is lovely........no joy when it's too hot to sleep....we've had a few air con nights but over all it's been pretty mild so far.......
goodluck getting your quilts done.....
