More Haste Less speed!

At last, I’ve got back to doing a little sewing. Since I made these bee blocks for Jodi at Tickle and Hide I’ve been wanting to make something with orange peel blocks. I originally intended to hand applique but because I was hoping for a quick finish, I decided to try some more machine applique instead. Unfortunately, […]

Slow WIP

I have very little WIP to report this week. Today, at last, I’ve made a little progress on my bee blocks. I hope this gives an idea of what I’m hoping my Scrappy? Sew Be It! quilt will look like… Otherwise, sadly, no sewing! My new job plan of doing three twelve hour shifts to […]

Sew Slow

Since Friday, I’ve only managed to put together four centres for my Scrappy? Sew Be It! bee blocks, which I mentioned in last week’s WIP post. I’m hoping to end up with 36 blocks like this – And I’m thinking I’ll get a selection of the stars onto the foundation paper and then do all […]

Free Two Bee – A Friday Finish!

I intended to share a random selection of photos on RTT but out internet wouldn’t connect so I thought I’d post some this week. We saw lots of seagulls nesting on the buildings and […]

Something to do, Something New Something to Bee

At the moment I’m in York for a few days. Mr RH and I have come to help our youngest daughter move into her house for next year and bring her home for the holiday. Our hotel claims to have amazing internet but this is the first time it’s connected at all and it’s so […]

A lovely week of Finishes!

a peak inside Well! It seems I’ve officially lost the pot (and the plot, you may think). So a little something for Ladies Day! front (+ red/pink binding because it was just a bit too low volume without it) But I’m resisting wearing it in case the teapot never turns up and I decide to […]

WIP

I’ve finally succumbed and bought the book and made a start – so the Zakka Along Tea cosy is my newest work in progress. And I finished my Scrappy-Trip-Along! But I haven’t become a total convert to low volume. I’ve also finished (and posted) the oak tree jewellery roll. I do love colour! Happy Wednesday […]
