FNSI - July

It was time - once again to join Wendy and cyber friends for a night (or more??) of sewing, crafting ...or whatever took your fancy..

I was determined to not waste a night, so after a quick dinner - watching BH&G, I crocheted for a bit....

Then off into SSS (Susan's Sewing Space) to whip up a few blocks for Kinship 100 Block Fusion Sampler (2019).   I've been posting a block a day since 1st July - it's supposed to be easy - one block a day!.   Does that really work for anyone?? - it doesn't for me - especially as I'm off to work most days...so I am getting ahead when I can.

These are blocks 22-25.   Some of them are quite quick...some not as quick...

I haven't really thought about how these will go together...

we still have a loooong way to go - 

although a lot of the blocks have a lot of white - 

there are a lot that don't like these - 

so maybe I will end up sashing them with a very dark navy or charcoal....

Yesterday was a sewing day for me,   One of my friends needed to raid my green stash for some trees, so she brought her blues over and I was able to cut these blocks during the day....the longest part is deciding which fabric goes with what.   I haven't run out off my blues yet - but her collection has been a great help.  Thanks Inca.


Pop over here and see what everyone else got up to.
Thanks Wendy for giving us the opportunity to hide in our sewing rooms and sew!

I posted this one early (or late Friday night) as I hope to get the the Redlands Quilt Show tomorrow and grocery shop (exciting...NOT) and I am out Sunday - sewing all day and a Birthday dinner at night....then I will have to go back to work for a rest!!!

Happy Weekend!!!!

Friday Night With Friends - June

mmm I may have been tempted by a new project . .  .I really should avoid social media....The Gnome Angel ...Kinship 100 Block Fusion Sampler...blame it on IG.....
So Wednesday night I cute a few blocks and sewed a few.....Today (Friday afternoon after work, I cut a few more and sewed a couple . . . .I need a bigger design wall - or to move some  decorative stuff off the other half!

Here are some of the blocks and the pile of prepared blocks sitting on my design boards....
(I knew there was a good reason to finish off those last 3....)

I am making this from any blue I have in my stash and white homespun.   I had some spare cut lengths of white so thought I'd use that - but it looks like I will have to get some more white.   For the blues, I am hoping to use only what I have or what I can beg from my buddies...LOL

I'm about half way through the blue drawer - but I have blues in the bali stash and in the any prints...and ...elsewhere!
There will be 50 8" blocks and 50 4"x 8" blocks and they are all pretty simple piecing ones.

Thanks Cheryll - away in the van - hope you have found a warm spot!  It certainly has been chilly lately....
