Sorting and Sewing



I have a few new projects that I an itching to get started on


 but have told myself  that I need to finish / get caught up on
 a few other things first, so her is a round up of what I have been up to this week.

Sorting the Sewing Space
(nope never found those pins or the pincushion)

This is "my side" of the back room.
The other side is the kids space for the PlayStation etc.



Fabrics unpacked, stacked and ready to go.


This is a "keeping it real" shot.
I am certain it will get in more of a "creative mess" than this
and I have also claimed the top two shelves of the bookcase!



I am trying to motivate myself to get back into my
 Farmer's Wife Quilt by "displaying" it :o)

As for actual sewing, I have been working on my

Merry Merry Snowman

With the arrival of Block 7 I thought I had better get a move on with this one.


Above is Blocks 1 - 7
Blocks 4 - 7 were prepared ready to be sewn in this pic and it you look up
a few pics you will see that I have started to cut and piece block 9. 
The FQ Shop is very generous with the fabrics in their BOM's 
that I have the fabric to start this block already.

Here are Blocks 5 and 6 finished.
Block 5

Block 6
 Block 7 is now on my little table waiting for some attention.

Whilst unpacking I also found this little Christmas wall hanging.
All it needed was the hanger to be attached and it was finished.
So this is my only finish or the month and my only OPAM item.


Today I am going to play with these


Enjoy your day doing something you love.

  8. I hate just commenting the same as everyone else, but those snowmen are wonderful! I can so sympathize with having to wait to start a new project, especially when you are simply itching to get started (in fact I think I have a post which has itching in the title!)
