Jan Hassard - 3 more UFOs....

Bridlington again. Three Jan Hassard classes:
This was Transversions and I made just over a quarter - but this bit still needs sewing together. The next class was Falling Colours and I did 4 blocks - undecided how much larger I want to go:
The next day was scrappy log cabin - should have been a breeze as I have done log cabin before but could I get the blocks right? No! Made 14 blocks of which about 4 are correct. I might just start again and slice and dice these blocks into something else.....

Mug rugs

Debbie gave me a bag of squares. At first glance they looked like 1.5" squares, but they weren't! I have made 6 mug rugs with them as debbie's contribution to the Lutterworth Piecemaker's tombola prizes for the exhibition next weekend.

Bear/cat?

When I asked Mark he thought it was a cat - I was aiming for a bear but I can live with a cat...

bags

I made a bag for Jenny:
Less successfully, this was a mini workshop at Lutterworth Piecemakers. It is a bag with a clear vinyl window in the front. I didn't finish mine on the night as I had cut my fabric the wrong sizes but I tackled it later - after getting help from Liz. There was supposed to be a handle on it but I managed to sew that to the inside - easily remedied, I just chopped it off.

A top for Linus

The call has gone out - Ani needs about 70 tops for her next marathon Linus quilting challenge. These blocks are from my current leader and ender project - I am aiming for king size and need 210 blocks - I had 7 left to make but I've just nicked 36 for this top!

and another finish

I need to take more time off work.....
I am going to give this one as a tombola prize for the exhibition at Lutterworth Piecemakers in October.

Two finishes

I have had a week off work following the Festival of Quilts and I have two finishes! They both have been quilted for a while but I have done the binding.
This MUST be about my oldest UFO. It was a workshop at a shop that closed down years ago - it was my first attempt at foundation piecing and is on a printed background. My foundation piecing skills haven't really improved since this first effort. It will probably end up in the dog's basket.
This was a Bonnie Hunter mystery - I think it was called Easy Street. Huge, in typical B Hunter style - Mark is standing on our garden bench. This is being gifted to a lady in Wales who helped mum out when she broke her arm back in January.
