More small things....

Trundling along in the background is my #the100dayproject project.

Here are blocks 11 - 20.

The cross stitch ones will be mounted on to fabric squares - but I haven't done that yet! Too busy creating them!
 

Making houses

Fun Zoom sew-along on Saturday with the Miniature Quilt Group - making a house for Sapphire Street - a project across the whole of the UK Quilters Guild.

Did you notice that one of the patches of grass is round the wrong way?  I did, but not until after I'd trimmed the block to size, so I decided to leave it (after all, who has a lawn that is the same colour all the way across it?).

After that I thought that I should make something that was closer in feel to my own (Victorian terraced house) home, so I made this block.  Again, it is 6" square, so you can tell that there were lots of really quite small pieces in this!

Fun sewing at the weekend!
 

Some weeks.....

 

.....you seem to run just to stand still!

However, after a week where I lost more time to tooth ache than I thought would be possible (even after my lovely dentist had fixed the cracked filling!), I finally got this quilt top basted.

At 60" square, as you can see, it's the largest size that I can baste without having to move a sofa as well as the table and chairs!

Hoping to find time (and energy!) to quilt it later this week.

It's that time again.....

 .....it's the time for the #the100dayproject !  I'm ten days in, and once again exploring a topic with small sewn replicas.

This time I've chosen 'plantlife' for my subject.  Leaves, trees and a few flowers is what I have in mind.

It's fun to have a daily practice, whatever form it takes.  Hope that you can find something that you'd enjoy everyday too!
