Well I know I've not done one of these for a while, so thought I'd do a quick post of a few things I've been trying to do on the sewing front. With hands red raw from chilblains & having to use sanitiser whenever we venture out to grocery shop etc., its been slow going as everything takes much longer & I get so clumsy with swollen & itchy fingers.
I've quilted my QAL that I'm doing with Sandra over at MMMQuilts, have the binding attached & will hand sew it slowly & have it ready for the linkup on 15th June.
This is my new project.
I pulled these fabrics from my stash after I started crocheting my dahlia rug (
here) from Attic 24, as I loved the fun bright colours & then designed something for them. They have been sitting waiting for motivation & it has finally come today.
These are a few of my flying geese & actually I've got the bottom row pieced, but the light wasn't good enough to take another photo.
This is what our gloomy sky looked like from the sewingroom window.
As I was looking for something else last week, I found these blocks lurking in a container. I'd not been able to get them to quite be the same size, but have decided 4 will be enough with a couple of borders. I'll pretend I'm doing a round robin quilt by myself, so watch this space.
Yesterday we had to pop into Aldi to get a few things we always buy from them & lo & behold, they had a British product sale & I came away with a few naughty goodies.
😊
OK, as I said, just a quick post & still not being able to do much my next post may be another UK trip catchup. Off to serve up our evening meal.
Take care all, stay safe & huggles from down under.

It definitely looks like sewing weather to me. I'm not getting much crafting done at all at the moment, I can't remember when I last picked my sock knitting up. I love Tunnock's Tea Cakes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Seems so many people are finding motivation comes & goes while this chaotic time is with us. I'm the same & have to push myself at times to do anything, even though I seem to be always busy. Weird!!! We love the tea cakes too, but make them last as long as we can.
DeleteLove that case in the top photo
ReplyDeleteI wonder why? Thanks Judy.
DeleteSorry to read that your hands are sore, must be awful for you. Such a shame your weather is gloomy too. I really like those teacakes and crisps and although we have an Aldi nearby I'd like to shop there but not wise for me to do so. Enjoy your treats.
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself, stay safe x
Lovely fabrics and colours in your quilting. Nice treats too from your shopping trip. I hope your sore fingers feel better soon, Take Care:)
ReplyDeleteI do love those teacakes, they wouldn't have lasted long here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, so bright and colourful.
Happy crocheting!
so many are suffering with sore hands at the moment, hope you have some nice cream to help and heal.
