Lots of sewing time and quality four legger time too.
Second last block of Mary Brown is done and dusted and the final block is well under way.
this block isn't actually from Mary Brown it is a favourite from Caswell quilt.
There were a few pieced blocks that were a bit beyond my limits and I chose two Caswell blocks to take their place. When I decided to finish Mary Brown smaller I still had this block ready to go so decided to still include it. It's really pretty I think.
There has been a little retail therapy....courtesy of Threadbear's website and also with some crafty friends to Jemima's.
Some new greens to freshen up my stash.
lovely shirting to add to my stash from Jemima's and a little something new.....
It was a little costly for what it was but sometimes you gotta live a little! The packet only includes the wool felt pieces.
I wanted to share an experimental project... this will be a small throw/blanket. It has a very thin wadding almost like a light flanelette which makes it lovely and soft. Once I quilt it I will bind it and add a crochet border.
I used a special stash of Liberty fabrics that No 2 son gifted me a few years ago.
Sun shining and no working for a few more weeks....
Perfect Day.
Happy sewing
Marina
Good to see you are relaxing for your holiday... nothing better than getting some sewing done and a bit of stash enhancement. YOur needleturn blocks are so lovely...what is the plan after Mary Brown? Love the little felt birds - very tweet. And your flutterby's are just perfect for using those special fabrics - going to be gorgeous with the crochet edge...

ReplyDeleteNice to be on holiday and to have some extra stitching time. Beautiful blocks (and I suspect by the heading of your next post, they are done?!) Great shopping - that's a nice array of greens - and your experimental butterflies looks gorgeous.
