To Do Tuesday

We had a bank holiday and time off last week but in the end I didn't have much time to sew sadly.... On my list last week I had quite a lot in anticipation of having more time than usual too but that didn't quite work out. Although one thing I did was to tidy up my sewing area, which took quite some time I am ashamed to admit.

1. Complete Dear Jane block F1 - little progress

2. Make block #16 for the Modern City Scape - no progress

3. Make Birthday block #17 - no progress

4. Sew the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along blocks for February, April and May - no progress

5. Work on the Hexie blocks - no progress

6. Cut a dress or a nightdress or a PJ - no progress

7. Maps - Done


This week again I have managed only 3 days of sewing, for 15 minutes to stitch with Kate
More plans for this week where we will again have some time off....

1. Complete Dear Jane block F1

2. Make blocks #16 & #17 for the Modern City Scape 

3. Make Birthday blocks #17 & #18

4. Sew the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along blocks for February, April and May

5. Cut a nightdress or PJ bottoms

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

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.

Pillow card holders

I heard this week that my daughter's school were planning to sell small objects during the parents-teachers meetings to fund raise for the final years' school trips abroad. I was trying to think about what I could contribute that would be fast and easy to make but would still sell. They hadn't asked for any contributions but I figure I could help maybe. Looking through my patterns stash I remembered the Pillow Card Holder pattern from Sewing Seeds of Love which actually doesn't require any sewing at all. I had this one on my to-do list for a while and then dropped it. All it required really is cutting with the Cricut and then inserting 2 snaps. And that exactly what had stopped me so far... using my Cricut to cut the piece... so I finally got it out and of course it was much easier than anything I feared.  The pattern comes with the svg file so it just needs uploading onto the DS software and it is ready to go! I used faux leather from my massive stash for them, select
