Sewing Saturday

Apart from a few cups of tea with Brian, I have spent the whole day sewing - and what bliss it has been.

I pieced, quilted and bound an I-Spy quilt for a friend to auction next week

And I emptied the selvedge edge drawer and made 31 blocks to be trimmed to 5 inch squares

And I embroidered a blanket for a friend's 50th next week


And I joined lots of the scraps from the 2.5 inch strips draw to make one very long strip ready to make a scrappy jelly roll race quilt


I am starting to feel I can again describe myself as a patchworker

  6. Hello Benta. I realise that I'm not the only one who didn't sew in the summer. I also started to put 2.5 inch strips together for a quick quilt, but I know it will end up not being very quick. You are so fast and productive. Well done.

  7. It's so nice to work on some sewing, especially if it's been a while. Looks like you've been busy. Everything is so cute, but I'm really curious to see what you do with those selvedge blocks.
