Beautiful sunny day

We are having a beautiful day here today, not cold like yesterday, lovely sunshine and a gentle breeze.
I sat out on the back deck to eat my lunch and then read for a while.
This was my view, not bad today.

Yesterday I had a bits and pieces day, could not settle on one thing, kind of squirrel like!!
I have made some VERY small half square triangles, Ingrid challenged me to make something with small pieces, way out of my comfort zone here!!

I had a play with some EPP jewel shapes, I had seen some being made on Instagram and decided to have a go, like I need another project at the moment!! They make a 6 inch heart shape so should go together reasonably quickly.

Here is the pile of half square triangles

So far only one trimmed to size, my job for this afternoon is to trim the rest, then figure out how to get them safely under the machine.
Wish me luck.
Happy stitching.

  2. Lovely view from your place, It's been sooooo HOT here and I'm not going for my dip. :(
    The EPP hearts will look great and such tiny HSTs... I know Raewyn was working with tiny blocks for On My Gosh.... see if you can see what she made.

  9. Wishing you lots of luck, Sue. The smaller the piece the greater the hassle, in my opinion. The heart halves are lovely and I am sure you will join the broken hearts :-) I see that you changed the cover picture. That earlier picture (fully clothed women holding underwear panels) always made me smile :-)

  14. Aren’t warm autumn days the best. After a few cool days this morning is glorious. I think I may take my sewing machine outside. I wonder what you will do with your hearts and HSTs? If you take it slowly you’ll have no trouble with the small piecing.

  15. Autumn is such a lovely time of the year - I do believe it's my favourite season! Love to see you busy and playing - and I look forward to seeing what becomes of your bits and pieces.
