I've Returned

home after a wonderful four days spent with like minded friends. 

We spent many hours... sewing... eating... laughing... sharing stories... and of course... a drink or two at HaPPy hour 🥂😄... just being "social" again.

Friends & their Projects...

I showed them how to make a PODLET too...  Aren't they CuTe all lined up...

At my machine...

The binding was added to another charity quilt...

AND lots of blanket stitches were added to Windy Farm...

Also  Scottie Dogs was completed. 

This will be raffled off at my GD school & if you would like to use any of my "raw edge" appliqué "dog" templates... you can find the FREE  pdf printouts HeRe.

The "Ribbon Quilt" was partially sewn together too...

Plus a few other smaller projects were worked on... but I'll show them later...

So a great week of sewing ... BuT... more importantly...

 it was fantastic getting together with FRIENDS.

A FeW...

quilting stitches were added to a small quilt so at FNSI I could trim & then sew the binding on. This "CaT" wheelchair quilt measures 36" x 36" (excluding cut off corners).

It will go to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

Isn't the BACKING just gorgeous... 💝💝💝

I'm off to my Wyee stitching retreat... 

AnD...

I'll be taking the Scottie puppy dogs away with me to play with work on from Monday.

I should get it finished while I'm there too. Perhaps you'll see it late next week 🤞 but so far I'm really HaPPy with it...😃

I may... or may not... have taken a FeW other projects as well 😉😜

EnJoY your week... 💟

LeFTOveRs & Quilting...

After making the LAST Crazier Star block... I now have 12 blocks.

Now ono the layout...🤔

Because I decided this will be a QAYG project too, I thought I'd use up some left over batting. I stitched lots of pieces together & made 7 @ 17 inch batting blocks. That's recycling at it's best I think...

Another charity quilt was finished too.

Do you remember me using a few coloured fabric birds awhile ago? 

Well... they now reside in a pretty flower garden.

It looks much nicer in real life... this pic doesn't do it justice really...

<> <> <> <> <>

My SeWinG TiMe...

included sewing another Crazier Star block using the RSC2021 colour of "green".

ALSO... a pale BLuE  block...

then another one... only a brighter shade of blue this time...

I'm really hooked on making these it seems...😄

I took the Scottie puppy dogs out for a play once again too...

Three full rows were completed by FMQ & then sewn together.

I LoVe drawing these paw prints on a few blocks...

As I hadn't sewn a FLoWeR BasKeT block for ages... one was completed.

The "flowers" are made using scrap left-over jelly roll pieces... AnD...

as you can see the white background is made of LoTs of different scrap fabrics.

An appliqué flower in a pretty flower garden was added.

AnD, as some fabric arrived 😁the binding & label were finally added to "Bricks".

Charity quilt #3 ready for delivery...✅

Linked to RSC2021... Oh Scrap...

                                                                    <> <> <> <> <>

SoMe...

fabric cutting went on at my place for  FNwF ...

In particular, 5 inch squares for a baby floor playtime rug...

& then some tracing of FaRM animals...

Then I put together a "purple" star block...

 

 I finished my night off with some FMquilting. A few " puppy dogs " blocks.

I hope you ALL added a stitch or two to your project last night.

Over the weekend, I'll come over to see what you played with too...
