See it is a Postage Stamp Tin sew DD has challenged me to put together a “Postage Stamp “ quilt. She thought the tin would be a good place to put the tiny 1 1/2” squares…. BUT
she didn’t know that I had started a Postage Stamp many years ago sew I have a start………. LOL
I also bought myself a New Toy. Sew have had to find a home for “BABY” to live..
She only weighs 5 1/2 kg sew easy to pack in the car when I go sewing…. Love it..
Finished my second Quilty Stitches Sampler cross stitch.
I am enjoying sewing these little blocks..
Oh !!!!!!! Don’t forget to pop over to Wendy's Blog to sign up for FNSI this week..
Goodnight Hugz Maria
You have a great start on your postage stamp quilt. Lovely new baby for the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who's more clever - you or dd? I'm glad you bought a new toy to brighten your spirits. How was the rest of the trip? You've been on my mind so much the past week. Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the tin!!! Good to keep one step ahead of the kids :-)Very cute little x-stitch blocks. Your new machine looks lovely - amazing how heavy our machines can be isn't it? Thank you for the reminder about FNWF :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the tin! Lucky you had already started a postage stamp quilt - now you just have to finish it. I'm seeing a few of the cross stitch quilt blocks popping up...might be a case of it you cna't be them, join them!
ReplyDeleteI guess the challenge is to finish the postage stamps now! Your cross stitch is looking lovely Maria. I'm really enjoying this project. I coloured the 3rd block pattern last night and will start stitching it in the car park at school today!
ReplyDeletedon't you jusr love challenges....LOL...lovely cross stitch and your new toy, very nice!!!!!
ReplyDeletelol you were one step ahead of DD,what a wonderful idea though with the tin and i love your new machine,have a lovely day my friend.xx
ReplyDeletehaha guess you showed dd, didn't you? what a fun start to your quilt. And a new Janome! Woohoo!!!! I'm a Janome girl so I love it of course. I want to do those little cross stitch block too but right now crafting has been set aside...
ReplyDeleteA good head start on your postage stamp quilt then :-) I bought a Janome a few years ago because my old Elna was too heavy to lug to classes etc. (I have kept elna though because I love her!)
ReplyDeleteSo that postage stamp quilt has been hiding in the cupboard all along....good time as any to get going with it again.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great little machine Maria....enjoy!

Lovely new pressie you bought for yourself, well deserved.
ReplyDeleteYour postage stamp blocks look nice and a nice tin too! Love your cross stitch, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI hope you love your new baby machine as much as I love mine. We are both so lucky. We can take our babies to a lovely beach retreat next week. Woohoo.
ReplyDeletehow thoughtful of your daughter, perfect for your postage stamp squares. You have a great start already.
ReplyDeleteLovely to have a new toy to play with.
your cross stitch blocks look great
Love your new little baby - just right for taking along on your outings. I have a little Janome for that purpose also - its a good idea and saves the bigger machines being knocked around. Your UFO postage stamp makes a good start for your challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice new baby. Does it sleep through the nights????
ReplyDeleteYour cross stich blocks look terrific.
Good luck with those postage stamps this time around.
Great start for your postage stamp, perhaps baby will help you this time she is lovely :-))
ReplyDeleteI would love a new toy that is easy to carry! Not going to happen any time soon - but that's okay I love my sewing machine. The postage stamp quilt is a cutie. Now you'll have to work on it a bit and maybe finish it. :-)
ReplyDeletelovely tin for the little stamps.... they are such small blocks... so does this mean mojo is sneaking back?
ReplyDeleteHugz
LOL!! What perfect timing for you to re-discover your PS quilt Maria! Sandra has a bit of catch up to do, ha!
ReplyDeleteFNSI? oh wow I have been in my own bubble this week with a hospitalised & recovering daughter, I totally forgot about it...
have a great weekend my friend x
oh ps, I am a tin-lover, so don't leave that one unattended near me!
ReplyDeleteGreat postage stamp blocks. I have that same Janome machine. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe tin is great. Not quite big enough for all the squares you have. You certainly have a good head start. Your new sewing machine is lovely. It is always fun to get a new machine. I have agonised over the cute little cross stitch sampler but really have to be sensible. I just can't give it enough time. Your blocks are looking good though.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Val
