I have so enjoyed my morning stitches this week.
My hands have been sore and troublesome. It is winter, and winter and I are not the best of friends.
Before Covid, we used to spend time in warmer climate a week or two during winter. I really hope that can be reality again next winter.
See what happens when I am just stitching away? Two different sizes!
Since I did mark the cutting point on each, there is no workaround. I have already enlarged the right motif and traced it for stitching again.

Applique did not happen this week as planned , but I have gone through some om my unfinished object boxes, and I truly can see a trend.
Several of my half done projects have elements of applique.
Stonefield will be on hold for a little while yet, while I sort out a couple of the other projects that lacks less. One of the less work intensive projects is Raspberry Tea Quilt from Sue Daley.
I lack 4 applique blocks + joining. I can do it! I know I have done one of the four blocks, but I can not find it anywhere, so it is time to suck it up and make four.

A goal I have for 2022 is to use fabric for care quilts. I am part of a lovely group that meats twice a year for a day retreat weekend.
I like best to make quilt tops, others do machine quilting, some do cutting - we are a great team.
The other day I cut and made this care quilt top. I honestly can not see in my soft pink stash that much have been taken from it. I can easily make more without running out of soft pink.....
It was nice to work on my sewing machine again. I have some catching up to do 💗
TGIF - wishing you a good weekend!

I love all the pink. Your stitcheries are adorable. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one who marked embroideries the wrong size! I love your Sue Daley blocks. I hope you can find the missing block before you finish the other 3 applique blocks. I've been trying to sew only from my stash the last 2 years! I can't see that the stash has been reduced by very much. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe pink quilt looks lovely. Cute stitcheries & love your raspberry blocks. Hope you find the missing one. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteI loved stitching those little bugs at the top........not sure how the size can change so much on the other ones......bummer......
