Good start to 2022

 with a ZOOM  meeting organised by Chooky . ladies for all over Australia , Canada, US, NZ, Germany and Norway sewed along and chatted ..... 

I joined in for an hour before going for my morning dip and cut out the cherries for the Row by Row I'm working on.

Last night on Instagram I saw that Fiona was sewing her left over HST together  , I sent her a photo of a box I had and that I would be binning them... But then Fiona challenged me to make something from them. So when I returned to the ZOOM met. 




I spent hours ironing .cutting and sewing only to end up with a small pile of 1 1/2" and 2" squares... 

Not even enough to do anything with really so 


sorry Fiona BUT if no one wants these HST they are defiantly going in the bin....I'm willing to send anywhere in Aussie.


I then picked up one of the blocks I'm crocheting around for awhile, got bored with it and 

so I started this cute pincushion Turtle ....

the pattern is in Anni Downs book  The Simple Life


Thank you Chooky and all the ladies for a lovely day ....


Must away and make a cuppa..

Take care and keep safe,

Hugs  Maria ❤

    Was great to catch up with you again! What a pain my comments aren't going to bloggers emails :( As for the HST's ...... well they may just be what's needed to add to those blocks I showed from years back that I'm trying to work out what to do with but don't have enough made up ...... What size are they?

    Great to sew with you again. Wish i could've stayed on longer but GS came to stay the night. :). I had to chuckle when i saw your hst's. I never save my leftover bits, they go in the bin as i cut them off. Someone may take up you off of them. Look forward to seeing your turtle. Hugs, xx

    Sometimes scraps and leftovers talk to us, and sometimes they don't.
    It was good to see you in Zoom. Your applique looks great.

    Your blue birds are lovely. I agree with Sue. You should send Fiona your hst's! I love my turtle that you made for me many years ago. xx

    I would totally take those hst's if I lived in Aussie. Alas, too far and too expensive to ship. Get rid of them, and move on to something else. Life is too short!!
