This week I have been working on various UFO's that I found during my tidy up....
This was a kit I purchased from a destasher some years ago..... so I have been tracing out, ironing on, cutting out, sticking on ........
I am just making up the blocks then I will blanket stitch on the machine when I get the chance with different colour threads....
I will hand embroider details like eyes (instead of buttons)
A couple of weeks ago at machine sewing day I put together these rail fence blocks... this week I sewed up the rows and added a border, pieced up a backing from left over flannel and made the binding. I do need to get this finished in the next month so will need to find some quilting time for it...
Yay, I have started putting my Field Journal 'flowers' together. As you can see I have used a different fabric to frame the inside but kept the middle the same as the embroidery frames to try and keep some consistency.
I had to unpick one of the brown coloured ones as it was not facing the direction I wanted!
A small Easter display is on my fireplace, Michelle sends lovely cards so I have been keeping them as part of my decor .....
Hubz has a birthday on Easter Sunday this year and local daughter bought 2 tickets for this event for his pressie. I love how she used the Advert to make up a personalised card (with us in it!)
I am hoping the rain is finished so it is a nice evening to wander around - I think it will be fun....
I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend doing something you enjoy - and perhaps a bit of nice chocolate.
Righto, Gotto Go, part of my tidy up is using up some 'curtain' fabric I have been hoarding saving and making up bags (luckily not too many pieces) - so I am cutting them to size, ordered some mesh and pressing linings..... This tidying up creates a lot of extra work! I do wonder why I don't just go and drop it off at the Op Shop for someone else to hoard! - would be cheaper!
Better get back to it!
