But not just with crafting.
I did have a lovely day sewing with friends
We made a Jet Set Sewing Station , which has many many pieces to it
But we worked through it slowly
And all of us completed our lovely sewing notions folder
I have been having a sort out as we had decided (after 39 years) to move houseI had found some odd blocks left over from a project day at my local quilt group, so I sewed them together
And I pieced the backing
And finished up with quite a nice quilt, if I say so myself!
Then I sewed dozens of Half Square Triangles that had been cut out and put to one side
These are ready for my next Scrappy Quilt
There was the Easter School holiday duties with this pair of monkeys
Such a fun day at Mini Meadows Farm
Over on Instagram, I got caught up in the tide of the Scrappy Applique Quilt Along. I had bought a book a couple of years ago, but never actually got to use it
So I sorted out some fabrics
picked my pattern
and sewed
and I am pleased with the results of this experiment and have an idea for another project using this method
But that will have to wait
till after the Birthday celebrations
And the move......To A LOT of work
Not necessarily completed by me 😌
We had a sneaky weekend at the beautiful Coombe Abbey
Not too shabby for a restful break
This weekend we popped down to see No1 Son and family and we spent a lovely morning at Southend airport for the Vulcan Restoration Open Day
And that is all up to date. Not much sewing being done because all my stuff is still packed away in boxes and I have so many other jobs to do before I can sit back and relax.
But it will happen
Soon I hope
So lovely to see a post pop up. Great scrap quilts & the bear applique is stunning. Now is that the old or new house/garden shown in the pics? And.........big birthday for you? Or someone else. I'd like going to that farm & feed the animals too. Your short stay away looked very nice, along with an outing to an airshow. My S-i-L would have loved it. Take care & look forward to more posts when you are settled. Huggles.
