Thursday I had a squirrel moment and decided to sew some baby rugs with fabric that has been sitting on the shelf for ages, one in fleecy fabric the other flannelette.
I laid the pink and blue fabric together trimmed them to be almost the same and then sewed two rows of stitching approx three inches from the edge, the cut the fringe. this took me quite a while as I was watching the movie Hope Bay, with Bill Nighy, Annette Benning and Josh O'Connor. It was an interesting movie.
I have had this fabric for ages so matched the pieces up right sides together, sewed around turned it out the right way and sewed around quarter inch from the edge.
This is beautiful fabric. I am not sure why these took so long to get around to doing, distracted by other things I guess.
FNWF saw me in the sewing room avoiding the football again, I decided it was time to get on with the last KOGO squares and get them into a rug ready to be sent back to KOGO
What a mess!! During the evening I sewed together 4 strips and got three rows together. I forgot to take a photo.
Saturday was an early start, for me not for others as I was late getting to Chookys zoom catchup.
The zoom started at 6am, I was still in bed then! It was wonderful to catch up with Chooky and ladies from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and Germany. Interesting to chat and listen and to see what people were making.
I did some more on the KOGO blanket and it is now up to the stage of having it crochet edge done
I did start the crochet Saturday but then moved on to doing a few hexies
They need all their side bits sewn down.
I finished up zooming about 2pm, my hands were sore and bum was numb! The other ladies were still going and sewing.
Saturday afternoon I found some strips on the shelf and decided to sew them into two groups, I was thinking a plain strip down the centre, but then I remembered the flying geese that are homeless, so thought maybe they would work, what do you think??
Not the best photo, and they are different fabric lines, will lay them out flat at some stage and get a better look.
We are off into Melbourne today for lunch with a group of friends so had better get my skates on, it is a 2 hour drive to get there and lunch is at 12.30.
Happy stitching.
