It is good to get to the end of the week and have several projects to share with you now that Red Manor House is out of the way.
First up my swap hexies for the month.
It seems that I am seriously short of red fabrics so I shall have to do a bit of shopping before red comes around for RSC.
My quilt group are making Linus quilts at the moment and I remembered some blocks that I made from a jelly roll some years ago and hadn't used. Some were squares and some had been cut into triangles ready to machine back into squares so that was my first job.
Two nice post trimming piles are always very satisfying!
Here are all the blocks after machining together.
I need to source some suitable backing fabric now.
In the evenings it has been good to get back to some Field Journal embroidery. These were completed this week - already for making up into hexagons.
I have a large stash of knitting wool lurking under the bed so I thought a new jumper for next winter would be in order. I like knitting for mindless handwork whilst watching TV. Here is my start.
It is my first time using a circular needle - treated myself to some of those lovely Symphony ones - and am finding them easy to use. Also my first attempt at a knitted folded hem and I am very pleased with how that has turned out. Now to add in some more colours.
Very changeable weather here but we have been able to get some garden time this week despite the horrendous deluge we had earlier in the week.
Heres hoping for a nice weekend - for me and for you.
