Challenge #4 Progressing

Big thank you to Deana and Chooky for this Challenge.  It's been just what I needed to quick into gear and move some projects along.

No power Saturday was a bit of a drag so I did some crochet on #2 and am about to 'turn the corner' with it. After lunch I grabbed out a square of fabric and some strips and prepped to make a practice block for 'Strip Insertion' ... just to make sure I could still do it.  Power back and block complete.

Then Sunday I was out in the van, completed blocks 9 - 12 and then put blocks 1 - 12 together ... now to work on the last 4 blocks basically from scratch.

It's supposed to have a border of the main fabric but finding that will be pretty much impossible ... I will have to come up with an alternative.

Sadly I missed out on some lovely Zoom time Saturday ... no power = no internet and very limited phone service ... boil the kettle and fill the flask so there was coffee, snacks and crafting.

Busy week this week with work and town but I'm looking forward to another finished flimsy ... have a great week.

Workshop Fun and Friday Night News

Did you join in the Friday Night Sew-in for January? Well it's on again so grab your goodies and have a sewing good time. Click on the logo on my sidebar for more info.


Home again from the best weekend! A patchwork workshop of course!

This is how I packed up Sunday afternoon after two days of lovely company, delicious food and lots of sewing.



I took part in the 'strip insertion' class ... the top left block is complete and the blocks are 10 1/2" square. Hope I can now find the time to finish it off before it slips into the realm of UFO's.
