August goals

One more month of school holidays and I was hoping a week to 10 days away but I think we will have to give up on the idea so we'll probably be around for the time off we have. I don't think this will mean lots of sewing times though as there are masses of work to do on the house (and garden) we have just bought... Maybe I will manage some small intervals though where I can spend some free time at the machine, who knows... 

Quilting

1. Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along - February, April, May, June & July blocks needed 

2. Dear Jane - hoping to finish row F... 2 blocks needed

3. Modern City Scape - hoping to catch up and finish this quilt along - 5 more blocks needed


4. Birthday blocks - hoping to catch up and continue with this quilt along

5. Farmer's Wife - 1 or 2 blocks?


6. Harry Potter - a few more blocks needed to finish this top


8. Tambo star - hoping to start this new quilt along on schedule


Dressmaking / Sewing

1. Sew a piece of clothing for me: blouse, trousers, summer dress, Morgan jeans??

    Oh wow, your plans are ambitious! I'd be thrilled to check just one of these items off my list for August! I wish you the best of luck with all of them, but you seem to have all well under control. I especially love your Dear Jane!

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

Image
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
