RSC 22 August update

 And it is a ta-dah! moment as I have now completed all the dancing mini Dresdens/Hexadens around the border of my flimsy.

The final two Dresdens were added this week - the two brown ones up from bottom right.

Now for the next four months of the year I shall be working on some 5" rainbow Dresdens to go in each corner - one for each month which is very convenient and also means I shall have a completed flimsy by the end of the year ready to start again next year! Yes, I have plans.......

Anyway, papers and template on order from Sew & Quilt so I shall be all ready to start on September 1st.

I am linking up with Angela  for Scrap Happy Saturday

Have a great weekend

Friday Night with Friends

 And my first for several months. Just made it in time too as we were without internet until mid day on Friday. Thank you Cheryll - pop over to Cheryll's blog here to see what everyone was working on.

I have started adding my mini hexie dresdens to my RSC Dresden quilt, so that is what I was working on yesterday. I have them dancing around the border - here are a few that are in place.

Earlier this week I completed three more Field Journal hexagons.

The hollyhock and pimpernel blocks are my favourites!

Well that's all for now - I shall be catching up whith what everyone was working on later. Meanwhile, the sun is shining so I am going to sit outside and continue sewing dresdens.

Have a good week.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019/20

 This years final RSC colour was yellow and I completed my yellow Dresden on Thursday. Then came the fun part of getting out my 20 Dresdens and playing around with them - fortunately we had dry grass yesterday so I was able to lay them out in the garden. And here they are all machined together.

It rained last night so it had to be the bed for todays photo. I am very happy with how these are all looking.

Fortunately I have enough of the grey fabric to make a decent size border so I plan to spend 2021/2 making little hexadens to dance around.

I will need to source some yellow spot fabric for the centres though as I have used up all that I had.

I am linking up with Angela at Soscrappy  - thank you Angela for your inspiration.

Treated myself to these gorgeous cyclamen at the market yesterday - perfect for brightening up the garden at this time of year.

Have a good weekend everyone.
