A finish.....and progress Show and Tell

New Table Runner Came to life......

Remember the table runner in my last post and how I said I had an idea running around in my brain?  Well the idea wouldn't go away so I made it. Great idea at the time but now I have another idea/project running through my brain ..... more on that later :o)

My "original" Hometown table runner has been moved over to the Buffet and this new one is sitting on our dining table.

I love the fabrics in this range and it is still my current favourite.

One of our living areas backs onto this dining area and there is a general red theme throughout so I might make a couple of cushions to coordinate it all some time in the future (no this is not the project currently "haunting" my brain!)

..... Quick updates on other projects .....

Christmas Bags

So far I have one Bag front stitched and the other is nearly half way.

Made using my scraps of Lynette Anderson's new range of fabric "Scandinavian Christmas"

I am going to need to purchase some more fabric to complete the bags and I am happy with how they are coming together.

Vignette Mystery Quilt Block 2/3

A lot of stitching on this one but I am getting there, slowly.

Scandinavian Christmas

At a stand still.  I need to sit and sew on all those hearts!

My Birdie Stitches Block for September is all traced, I just need to find the time to sit and stitch it.

Miss L's Once Upon a Time Block for this month is still at the Shop!!!  Arhhh. I was there just the other day but got talking and buying other stuff and forgot to get it.  Easily done when you feel like a kid in a candy store only the candy is fabric :o)

Lastly ...... remember this?

The sewing instruction are being held back a little so people have a chance to catch up which it totally OK with me because it will give me a chance to work on the other project in my head!

I have over 900 of the 1008 yo-yo's needed so am super pleased with that!

Thank you for hanging with me on this long post.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend.

Happy stitching,

Sharon

Nearing completion ..... and more ......

Scandinavian Christmas

As of 1pm today my Scandinavian Christmas looks like this ....

I need to hand stitch all those hearts so not quite a completed top yet, but hopefully not to far away.

The buttons that I ordered for the blank blocks arrived on Friday. What do you think?

Snowflakes .... only pinned in place!



I only ordered One of these Hearts and I think I
like them so I must order a couple more to fill the blanks
on the outside border :o)



Also arriving in Fridays mail were these .......



Adding to my GO! Baby Die Collection



A while ago I also joined in this ......

I am slowing tackling the task of making the Yo-yo's and can report that I am up to 235 yo-yo's which is 23% made so a few more to go but I am slowly getting there.  Here is what 235 Yo-yo's look like!!!!

This container is about 11" x 8" x 6"

I don't "Do" scrappy very well as I like to be a "little" more controlled but I am doing my best and have only used scraps so I have no idea how this is going to work out!  Wish me luck :o) lol





Sorry, no Blog post on the Farmer this week :(  I do have two blocks cut out but that is as far as they got. Blame my Vignette quilt ....... It now looks like this and I have more of the outside blocks cut ready to be sewn :o)

I am enjoying working with the bright colors at the moment as opposed to the darker colors of my Farmers Quilt .... I am blaming the great weather that we are having here at the moment and it's still Winter :o)

Enjoy your Sunday stitching,

Sharon
