These holidays together with the lockdown have been great for productivity!
Now I need a new project like I need another hole in the head but I wanted to play around with my stash of 1930's fabrics.
I love shoo fly blocks and decided to have a go. It started out as just making one to see, but an error in cutting size meant I could make two.....
this lead to..... cutting out pieces to make lots more.. till the backing fabric ran out.
This is using stash fabrics so it's a big bonus and sort of evens out the new stuff I have bought.
the past few days have seen some nine patch blocks added to the pile. I have about 30 now so had a little play around to see how they'd go together. This isn't the final arrangement but it is fun to shuffle them around
It seems that scarf pins are a bit of a fashion item at the moment and I found a lady on etsy that custom made two for me from wood. I just sent her the silhouette that I wanted and she took it from there.
they look great even with a fabric scarf, definitely give them an outing once I get back to work.
I had a little company in the sewing cave this afternoon. Miss sneaky Poppy came to find me while I was cutting out. She hides under the desk in case Hub comes looking for her. She enjoyed a little nap and got to use my blanket to keep warm.
She does have a hard life!
hope you are having a great week
