Slow stitching Sunday

 I finished last weeks block.

I aslo finished the next block.

Now I'm prepping the next section of quilt blocks,

It is great as the kit comes with a good mixture of joining blocks each month. I wouldn't have enjoyed sewing them all in one go.

Dismal damp day so I'm not going for a walk, just next door to feed their guinea pigs.

Happy sewing.

Slow Stitching results

 I managed to get a little sewing done, plus a walk in the cold, damp mist. Lovely to get home to sew. Then cooking Sunday main meal, a little more sewing.

Back to Monday, bathroom cleaning, washing towels etc. 

Happy sewing.

Slow stitching Sunday.

 I have a Lucy Boston block to sew today, I love the fabrics. 

They look a bit washed out here, we have a thick mist in middle England and taking photos is difficult.

Happy sewing

Friday catch up

 I enjoyed stitching with others from F.N.S.I. Lots of lovely projects to see on the facebook group.

I finished my Lucy Boston block.

Here it is before I got started and then 

Now onto the next one off block.

Happy stitching.

Advent or can I remember.

 Well, so many things I have sewn since last February, there has also been knitting and gardening.

If I can remember exactly what I've made or started I'll try and add photos each day.

Today the 1st December is a skirt for Luna, that is this evenings sewing.

She is off as a Christmas present, with her pyjamas packed.

 I was able to dip in and out all day with the weather being cold and wet in the U.K.

I need to finish this sock and start on it's pair. Just the toe decreasing to go.

I also started sewing down the stems on the Cherokee Rose block, the some basting on the leaves in the evening. 

 

I also finished a little pocket rabbity hare.

It was a lovely relaxing day, just a short walk, some sewing of seeds and lots of crafts whilst listening to audio books.

1 Xmas item a Month

 January 2021, 1 Xmas Item a Month ,

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to make Christmas decorations through the year.

Here is the first, Songbird Christmas Tree by Shawn Yorke of Rusty Crow.

I've also finished the wreath block this week.

Now onto Cherokee Rose the Georgia block.

 With the snow still lying and freezing fog it was good to be indoors sewing with friends. I did some more to the wreath block. Just five leaves to sew down tonight.  I've just noticed that I've not yet added the centre pieces.

 

I also started my, Sugar Plum Parish Christmas Wool Applique Ornaments.

I've done some work on the Songbird Christmas Tree.

These I hope will be sewn, one each month.

Tomorrow, Sunday, I hope to visit the other FNwF blogs.

Happy sewing

 Thank you to Cheryll for hosting Friday Night with Friends, I managed to do my sewing in the morning and afternoon in the U.K. Hopefully whilst others were sewing around the world. The snow didn't appear as forecast but there was a cold wind from the north.

Some progress on my wreath block.

I hope to sew again this afternoon. We are allowed to exercise for an hour outside, so I'll be going for a walk as well. Now time to make my salad for lunch, 

happy sewing

Wreath 3

 After basting all the shapes for this wreath it's time to start the applique. I find the overlay really helps with the placement of the pieces.

I'm not going to walk today, my housemaids knee was too painful yesterday. I have washed the bedding and refilled all the bird feeders. We'll be lucky to get above freezing today, so the poor birds are very happy to be fed.

Unfreezing the various bird baths was also necessary. 

Slow Stitching

 I'm revisiting a kit I bought on an online selling site. It is an old 1984 kit called Thirteen Colonies Album Quilt Kit.

I have finished four blocks, grapes,

 grain 

and two wreathes,

now onto another wreath.

 happy slow stitching.
