February UFO project...

February is here already and it was time to select the project for this month

My Lisa Bonegan Sew along blocks have been neglected for quite awhile.
I had every intention to keep up but I was a little intimidated by a whole pile of little flying geese that needed to be done for the 3rd instalment.
Well the number was up and out it came.. and surprisingly the piecing was easier than I thought. The instructions by Lisa were so easy to follow and there are pictures to follow as well. My kind of patterns.
this is where the blocks were left at in July last year.
This week the applique one has progressed to this..... some applique pieces all cut out for the corners. They will go on once the next borders are on and that's where I'll finish it. using one of the later patterns to finish it off.

The star pieced one has the next border on and a visit to the fabric shop is in order so that I can get some more red fabric for the geese.
In the corners it has little star blocks. I have these half sewn..
You can officially call me certifiably crazy as those little cream squares are only 1" square!!

Off to the cave to tackle those little stars..... wish me luck

Cheers
Marina

  6. Beautiful progress (love your approach to deciding what you will work on!). And your stars will be fantastic. I adore stars, especially when they come in the size that you are making them.

  7. I've fallen in love with Lisa's sewalong all over again :-) I didn't realise you'd started both versions! Sounds like that small sewing will keep you busy but the results will be gorgeous!

  16. Hello Marina,

    Crazy, why you are saving on thread doing them that small! Did you know that a group of flying geese is called a skein?
    Your projects always amaze me. Your dedication on getting something done each month is wonderful.

    Happy stitching.
    Bev.
