I can not believe how fast January went by! One minute it was starting the next it was done!
I am trying to think what I have been doing......one more Anthology block has been made
I have made four knitted dishcloths, Adam and Beth have decided they like using them too, so two will go to their house
some stitching on the cropped diamonds has been done in the evenings
I have ridden the bike most days, except when it is humid and sticky hot
Low tide and windy today
I made a blunder the other day, moved the pin holder and forgot it was magnetised and put it on the container with the safety pins........you can see what happened!
I bought some beautiful painted buttons from Barb Smith of Theodora designs and decided to make a wall hanging so the buttons didn't stay in the drawer somewhere
a special fuzzy photo!!
I had a road trip to Gisborne yesterday to visit Tracee in her new studio, Hummingbird Quilting.
Tracee had quilted two quilts for me
I am very happy to have these off to to be quilted pile and into the binding pile!! 😁 Tracee's quilting is beautiful.
We had a lovely visit and then I headed back home. I drove through many rain showers on the way there and back, it was 12 deg C in Gisborne and 18 when I got back home, no rain fell here all day!
Tonight is FNWF
An evening of virtual stitching along with others, you can sign up here, Cheryll is hosting.
I have some fabric scraps Jill gave me that I am going to stamp and cut out tonight, well that is the plan!
I have managed to start another new project, something I was NOT going to do this year and am thinking of starting another...I need to get back to the scrappy blocks and get them sorted not just a heap on the desk. (and avoid those pesky squirrels that keep appearing!)
Right I am off to get out the stamp!
Happy stitching.
A agree that January seemed to go in the blink of an eye. Your pin photo is too funny. Have fun tonight. Surely you are allowed a couple of new projects seeing as you have a couple ready to bind.
ReplyDeleteHad to smile at the magnetized pins! The wall hanging with those gorgeous buttons is amazing! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love the button wallhanging. It is so much nicer to read those heartwarming messages than stuffing them in a drawer somewhere. Well, Sue, time flies when you are having fun and staying busy, like you do. The magnetic bowl incident made me smile :-) Have a great weekend and happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteMore wonderful quilting and I love those buttons.
ReplyDeleteWell with all that going on .. its not surprising that the month has flown x
ReplyDeleteYour diamonds are looking good. Great to get somethings progressed a little further.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the squirrels taking you this time?
You have been busy working on a variety of projects. Those dishcloths are great to use and last forever. Love the wallhanging. That is a cascade of pins hanging off the bottom of the container.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a few hot muggy days too - for now a reprieve. Great dishcloths - I must do a few more - I too can't get my head around that we are already in February. Love your latest Anthology.. the blue really pops... your EPP project is looking good - is that what the bag of scraps is for that you stamp? I love how you presented the buttons - very sweet. Those magnetic bowls are wonderful - until you make safety pin waterfalls!!! haha
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend....

Hello, i felt exactly the same, i thought now how can January just have flown by so much. Are these tea towels Ford drying or for rinsing .. i know her to flush . Your new Quilt Looks very interesting
ReplyDeleteKreative regards Marika
You achieve lots in your days Sue. I am enjoying knitting the dishcloths too - they are kind of mindless knitting. Its been hot & muggy here too ... gosh I did laugh at what happened to the pins!! Sorry Sue ... what a nightmare to sort out!
ReplyDeleteLol re the pins. Something I would do lol. How fantastic that Tracee has a studio now. The quilts look great. I love your idea to display the buttons. Lots of things happening across the bay.
ReplyDeleteBusy girl last month and be careful cause this month will go by quicker as there is only 28 days, well only 23 left now....
ReplyDeleteThose squirrels can play havoc, and you seem to have plenty to occupy you
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to use and enjoy the buttons!
ReplyDeletelol.......to funny with the magnet......lots happening another nice block and how lovely to see Tracee and pick up some quilts.......the EPP blocks are growing......
