Bits - N - Pieces

I trialled a "new" 10.5 inch  leaders & enders project this week.

It's still using up scraps... but this time I'll finish with a "wonky hexie" block.

Next time though... I'll make the centre hexie a lot larger...

* * * * *

I made 9, three layers with nose clamp, "face masks" over the last few days too.

You can find the pattern I used HeRe...

https://thecraftyquilter.com/2020/03/versatile-face-mask-pattern-and-tutorial

.

I found it EaSY to make... & it FiTS very well 

& I've read that quite a few ladies are using the same pattern... so it's very popular.

* * * * *

As we are all still in "stay-at-home" mode because of the return of this dreaded Covid-19 virus & while going through patterns, I came across 3... shown below... 

which have NeVeR been used... & thought if anyone would like one of them, 

I'll mail it to you.  It might be a simple project to fill in some time.

Sorry... but due to restrictions I will mail to Australian postal address' only.

One is from Designs By Fee... called "Stitchers Keeper" - a sewing wallet... 

another is an old Chook Shed pattern called "Anne loves Andy".

And the last one is from Vickie Knight called "Miss Millie & the Easter Bunny".

so... if you would like to make any of the above patterns... just leave a comment.

A FNwF FiNisH

Another QAYG charity "string" quilt is ready to be donated.
This one is in a "rainbow" layout... which I think looks really pretty.
I finished sewing the binding to the quilt last night at...

Friday Night with Friends.

The quilt measures 46 inch x 64 inch.

How did you go last night at FNwF? 
I'll be over later to see what you worked on.

And the RSC2020 colour for August is... PuRPLe... so I'll work in that colour range to make a "thing" or two this month. I started with another "spool" block...

And then I stitched a "chain link" block together as well...

 Then I worked on another PuRPLe project... to be finished later...

I trialled a pattern for a face mask with a nose clamp... just in case we are directed to wear masks... & I'll make a few more now that I know this pattern is easy to sew & fits well.

WOOFA in JuLy

Because I've been away this month... I have to be content with only a little bit of progress on this months project.

My "spools" quilt (started Jan 2019) has had 8 different coloured spools added.
Not a lot of improvement BuT as I always say...
ANY progress is GOOD progress.

Have you completed a project this month ?
If you have... why not show us.
Perhaps ... like me... you've progressed a UFO...
That's great too... so let us enjoy the journey with you.

Simply link up below & we'll come over for a visit.
