Reading blogs

Reading blogs gives me much pleasure, seeing what others are making, seeing progress and finishes and also ALL the new things you can be doing. I was reading Sharons blog over at Vroomans Quilts and saw a link up to The Temecula Quilt Company. They are having a sew a long called Sew Along Wednesday to help use up the stash and scraps. Great idea I thought, then I noted the finished blocks were three and a half inches...mmmm....that gave me pause for thought, but then I though well a challenge is always good so I am going to try and follow the sew along.

I figure I can always gather the instructions and continue at my own pace.

I subscribe to an English quilting magazine

they are having a mystery BOM so I have decided to do that, I am already behind but progress is happening

one corner was finished yesterday

other pieces are pinned together ready to go.

I had a play with the iron on EPP bits, I am not sure about them, some of my squares and rectangles are no longer square or have straight edges, there is obviously a knack to getting these right, and I am used to the paper hexies which are firmer to fold the fabric against. I shall keep on and see how they go. It is a great way to use up scraps.

This lady was wandering along the waters edge the other day enjoying the water.

The Supervisor had a paddle

this bush still has lots of flowers

and the fruit are ripening. Still a mystery bush to me!

I have been telling myself all week to get the sewing tidies up and today is the day, no more procrastinating. 

Have a great day.
