Cleaning up.

I’ve been busy tidying up the Cave ( good way to spend our first 40deg cel. day.) I finally got round to dealing with some of the extra bits of wadding that were returned after I had two quilts done at the longarm quilters.

First I cut the extra backing off and then trimmed all the bits.

Then they’re all ready to sew together .

There’ll be enough to use as wadding for a donation “I Spy” quilt…..

Must away now and cut the blocks form my stash….

Happy stitching

Small Finishes for FNSI

Can’t believe it was the third Friday of the November and time to join Wendy for FNSI. This time I worked on a couple of small projects.

 

A little pair of booties and two tiny beanies .

I plan to make a few more of these as they are just big enough to pop in Lindt choccie and gift one to my friends …

Today I enjoyed working on some secret Christmas projects….

Must away and do some tidying in the Cave. 

Happy Stitching,

Hugs. Maria 💕

FnwFs for November…..

I really enjoy joining in with Cheryll for FnwFs.  It motivates me to get something ready to work on. 

As it is our Patchwork Clubs 30th birthday next year the lady who sends each member a lovely birthday has popped in a challenge. We needed to find a strip in our stash and then match the colours from it and do a colour wash block. So for FnwFs I found strip and fabrics in my stash and cut out blocks ready to sew.

     

Later in the evening I sat and caught up with stitching the leaves on my Temperature Tree. The year has gone so fast, only one branch after this one !!

Thank you Cheryll for keeping us on track . One more for 2025..

Must away and sew my challenge block together .

Happy stitching ,

Hugs.  Maria 💖
