I needed some sewing machine needles and these yummy strippy fabrics fell into my bag...
Yesterday I attended the " Autumn Roundup" . It's an amazing weekend of all sorts of different workshops and some nice stalls...
I bought a nice Lynette Anderson pattern while there that I hope to stitch before next Easter to pop into my mini frame..
My friend and I sat and sewed "Blocks for the Homeless" as we both decided we didn't need to start a new project....
Trimming blocks . A nice pile ready to sew together for Shaggy Quilts.
Today I thought it was time to get back to Bonnie Hunter's 2017/18 Mystery , On Ringo Lake.....
I still have many more blocks to sew before the quilt is complete....
Happy Stitching

Hi Maria so glad you had a wonderful time,love those stripes you bought I can see why they fell in your bag,lol xx
ReplyDeleteoh those stripes! so so pretty! sounds like a wonderful week
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a busy week for you, but fun with family and friends. I LOVE those yummy stripes.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see more progress on ORL. You'll love it when it is finished.
You might have lots of blocks yet to sew for the Ringo Lake project--but it looks like you have a nice start and setup--keep it going!!
ReplyDeleteand it is always nice and fun to spend time with family and friends and those are really neat looking strip fabrics--can't wait to see what you do with those!!
enjoy, di
PS and I am about 3 hours north of Ft Lauderdale where Joy changed planes and my dock is on a river--just a mile in from the Ocean!
Love the stripe fabric. I enjoy seeing everyone's versions of Bonnie Hunter's mysteries. All those blocks. Assembly line sewing makes sewing so much faster and easier.
ReplyDeleteLove the stripey fabric. Look forward to seeing what you make with them. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteLOL! Pretty funny looking needles.... I can understand that that fabric was shouting your name! Can't wait to see what your plan is.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge hall you get to sew in - good on you doing charity work.
ReplyDeleteOh those stripes are so rich looking. Great work on the charity quilt x
ReplyDeleteLove those striped fabrics! Can't wait to see your Ringo Lake. I'm curious about your colorway. :-)
ReplyDeleteRingo Lake is certainly a lot of sewing Maria, but I'm sure you'll finish it... am I right in thinking you're not entirely in love with it? Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteLove new Lynette pattern, enjoy xx
It's so strange how fabric jumps into our bags ..... shaggy quilts are so lovely - great idea.... so many repeats for your Ringo Lake....

Fancy you finding some pretty stripes and a Lynette Anderson pattern. I'm sure you will have fun with them. You certainly look organised with your On Ringo Lake stitching. Sometimes it makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteFunny how those things jump into our bags!!!! Enjoy sewing with them.
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes. Hooray for Ringo Lake making an appearance. Looks like you and your friend were very productive with those blocks for the homeless. That's huge pile!
ReplyDeleteOh, love the fabrics Maria! I get a bit nervous working with stripes, but I do like the look of them.. love the Lynette Anderson pattern too - look forward to seeing that finished! xx
