More baking, less sewing

This week-end was a birthday week-end for my middle daughter. We celebrated her birthday on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so there was lots of planning and cooking involved and not much sewing time!
 


So this week has been productive in some ways but not so much on the sewing front.
Admittedly, I have a number of blocks in progress, that I am really hoping to finish soon... but for now, I have picked an "abandoned" WIP and made 2 blocks for the Farmer's Wife 1930 Quilt-Along. I know you haven't seen any of those since probably October....
Anyway, here is Mrs Keller

and of course the one I coldn't miss this week-end:
Charlotte (with some horses of course!)

And I also finished my 2 February flowers for Christine.

With these additional 4 blocks, my total is now 22 for February for the 350-blocks project.

    I didn't get much done this weekend either because my daughter paid us an unexpected visit. But it was lots of fun even without the sewing time! I hope you enjoyed the weekend.

    Hey I just loved your projects. Thanks for sharing these pictures here. I am in love with that chocolate cake and really can’t wait to try it at home. Hey, I am going to attend a birthday party too at the outdoor event space Florida. I hope all the party food will be delicious over there!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
