Teal for March on the other hand was no problem.
Linking up with SoScrappy for ScrapHappySaturday
Also finished this week a couple of little gifts for a friends birthday.
The little fob on the scissors is for storing a thimble. Its not easy to see but I made an elongated Secret Garden block a la Lynne Edwards. Cant think why I have never made one of those hexagon pin cushions before - think I might need one for me!
We had a 'ladies lunch' on Friday when these were gifted - my last social outing for some time I feel. We have topped up our freezer and store cupboard and plan to stay put for a while. All bars and restaurants here are closed now anyway.
Stay safe everyone.
Your two new blocks are wonderful! Your little toolie gifts are perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeing prepared for whatever might come is all we can do now. Take care!
Your little hexie pin cushion is sweet. I too would have difficulty making an orange block. Love the teal one. Bunker down and keep stitching. =)
ReplyDeleteFunny! I'm just the opposite. Plenty of orange, teal is my challenge! We're hunkered down here too although my husband has surgery scheduled for Friday.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Susie H on this one. I can ship you some orange scrap if you wish but not teal. It's a color than I am learning to love ... slowly learning. Love your flowers. ;^)
ReplyDeleteRound things. I'm very impressed. Love the thimble holder too.
ReplyDeleteWe'll all have lots of time for making, I think. Stay safe and Stitch!
ReplyDeleteOrange would be a challenge for me too , I love your blocks and the pincushion is sweet. Take care and stay safe !

As Fiona said " thank goodness we having sew at this unsure time"
ReplyDeleteLoving your RSC flowers.. and a sweet set .
Orange can be a tricky color. So glad that your friends has some to share. Your finished blocks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....not much orange in my stash either. Thinking of you in Europe at the moment. We have started with different measures, but all cases at the moment have been imported. It will come. We will do all we have to and more to keep Grandma safe as she lives next door. I guess we will see if my stash really is big enough! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on your RSC blocks....It is lovely to have a little piece of friends in our quilts. Love your hexie gift too xx
ReplyDeleteBoth of your flower blocks are pretty, well done on orange, I think I would struggle with orange too. Lovely gifts :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep well, xx
Ooh I love it - orange is such a happy color!!! Love the gifts you made for your friend as well! Everything's closed here too, but still open for take-out or delivery....I hope folks do patronize the businesses, they're going to be seriously hurting.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love your orange block Lin - as its his favourite colour. I love all your new makes in this post - so pretty. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteGreetings tou you to France, my daugther is a French teacher ;-) home office now. I love the little sewing jobs.

Have fun sewing ... I look forward to seeing work. All good wishes to you.

Love your blocks and the colours. Lovely pin cushion and scissor fob. One cannot resist a hexie.
ReplyDeleteLovely catching up on your RSC blocks. And gorgeous gift for your friend. I have been wondering how you are faring over there. I'm sure you won't run out of things to do while you stay at home!
ReplyDeleteI think I might need one of those adorable block pincushions and a scissors fob. Thanks for your generous comments on my blog post. I have fixed my email-comments problem so thats all good. I have been thinking of you in regards to Brexit. Are there any problems there with you being British?. I am glad you are taking good care of yourself and your husband. It is tedious but extremely important. My home state of California is in total shutdown mode-throughout the state people are to "shelter in place". looks like New York will follow suit.
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers you are doing for RSC. Last year I did a scrappy blue project and it was very handy to raid my friends' stashes to get some variety!
