I think this will be the oddest April we have experienced..... the blog is my happy place and I'm very happy for it.
Take care everyone, give yourself a break and if a plan doesn't happen let it go... breathe... and go to plan b....
So... I have plans for the month ...
WOOFA.....
I want to make up my FRIENDSHIP stitchery into something I can hang in my sewing room....
that won't take long, I have done the quilting I want on it so it's just getting the binding sewn down and disturb Hubz working from home to hang it up for me....
SUNDAY STITCHERS CHALLENGE #2 which is also a WOOFA
I want to add the borders to my circle quilt so that will be a top
I got some navy blue shadowplay fabric for the borders.... another not too big a job to get that done...
there is 5 little blocks spare.....
… these will become coasters.... that work I did is not going to waste!
I also want to keep working on my scrappy Pineapple blocks
I made quite good progress with them sewing the circles together and they have their next round on them
I needed a few more so there are 4 newly started blocks … this will give me 25 blocks to start with....
WORKS in PROGRESS ...
Field Journal.... continue stitching these... I want to do at least one a week.
This is my latest one....
Crochet Blanket... make at least one block a week
I am making 2 blocks from each ball, just going around from both ends but trying for different sizes... then I will surround with black. Using up pure wool that I was given.
Happy Snowman Hearts.... work on these
I did have a 'prepping' session on ChooseDay so they are ready in their project bag for stitching.... they are not very big so shouldn't be a problem to get done....
NEW PROJECTS.
I have an Angel stitchery to sew..
this will become another little one for my quilting room
Start prepping Love quilt (Natalie Bird's Blue quilt)
I bought this book a few years ago....
.. and even got a bunch of fabrics kitted together for it.....
as I said I will do 'love' in the centre … which is an option provided in the book....
Once I start on this one I will have trouble putting it down, and there are lots of other gorgeous projects in the book so I must be careful not to get sidelined too often!!!
I still have these pretty fabrics to sew together then chop up again for a Pinwheel Quilt
I am going to take a page out of Janice's book and take my little Elna Stella out on the veranda on a lovely Autumn day and sew them….
This is another hand project I want to start, even if I just cut some of the fabrics and start basting I will be happy.... 3D half hexagons
While I was digging looking for what was in the Planning Queue I came upon my pile of I Spy Fabrics and I had bought a soft grey to border them.... maybe some more cutting and sewing outside?
… and I do want to take a quilt from my Quilting Queue and get that done.... hmmmmm
oh.. and a bag. I saw this Poppins Bag on Cheryll's blog and I love it... the pattern and stays arrived in the post this week and I found some lovely fabric at my favourite quilt shop …. I hope this one is not too hard for me
I always, always have a stitching plan that is too long.... but it does make me push myself and keep going.... and I don't mind if I don't tick them all off....
Righto, Gotto Go... I am going to frame up the Friendship stitchery, a nice quick one that can be ticked off today.....
Take care, keep safe, keep smiling and keep stitching.....
