Progress

I am back to work on Monday so didn't get many stars done.

I have, however made a Bento bag (not sure I would make another) and a bit bag which I was very pleased with!

one week in....

Last Wednesday I was sent home from work due to the Coronavirus - I could be off for 12 weeks or then again I could get a phone call to go back any day. I have decided to have a Positive Mental Attitude and look forward to plenty of sewing time. Just before all this kicked off Mark and me went shopping for a day at Rushden Lakes. They have a magazine shop and I bought a copy of Quiltmania as there was a pattern that caught my eye - I never buy magazines. Anyway, the pattern calls for something like 2800 HST at a size of 1.5". This is my mission!! I am going to do a "sheet" of blocks a day. I have done all the HSTs in one colour way and am part way through the second phase.

Two tops, two bags

Two finished tops that are going to Ani to quilt for project linus - both made from Aldi Kevin the Carrot fat quarters and because I bought my body weight in Kevin Carrot fat quarters, the two bags are very simple drawstring bags made using the ribbon that is round the 5 pack of FQs. Mark has given me a very good idea for another bag though.... The FQs were in the sale after Christmas at Aldi online and they were selling them at 99p for a pack of ten.... Spend £20 and free postage as well so that was 21 packs at a time for the free post.

New toys!

A bag cutting die and poppers and the pliers to attach them with - beats sewing on buttons and they open and close with a satisfying click!

2019 count

Because I hadn't done it yet: Baskets 3, Bags 3, Quilts 10, Design walls 2, Bath mat 1, Table runner 1, Coasters 4, Hair scrunchie 1, Mouse 1. Still more quilts than anything else and the table runner and two design walls could also be considered quilts - despite what other people might say.... I am surprised I have done so much considering we moved house and it felt like we spent forever decorating.

Another basket

this one is bigger...
