Catching up

I have been a bit remiss on posting this last couple of weeks so it was time to catch up with happenings in the sewing room.  Seeing that the weather has been rather chilly this past week it has been a good opportunity  to spend time finishing off items that have been around for a while.    First up 5 bibs were ticked off the list.

Three small quilts that were at various stages of construction are now finished.  It  was too cold and windy to photograph them outside.

There is another bigger quilt that is waiting to have the binding sewn down and that then then be called a finish.  

July's  RSC colour is  PURPLE .   Time to get out with the purple scrap basket and make a start on a purple potato chip block.  

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

FNSI and a Challenge was issued

By my Saturday quilt group.    Each year we have a Christmas in July challenge but it was decided to change it around this year and have a French theme to coincide with Bastille Day.  Anything could be made as long as it was French related.

As our July meeting is approaching it was time to make a start.   A rummage through the stash revealed these two fat quarters.

Now to make something from this limited amount of fabric.   Thinking cap on and the result is

There was a small amount of both fabrics left and I also found another piece that belonged to the fabric group.

 

This extra fabric along with the left overs then allowed me to make a zippered pouch with a boxed bottom.   The introduced fabric had to be used as a whole piece for the back of the pouch.     Here are all four pieces together.

It will be interesting to see what the other group members come up with.  

When joining in with FNSI I got to work on my next potato chip block in this month's RSC colour of orange.   

Also finished off during the week were 4 orange library bags.    Orange is not my favourite colour so not much is in the stash.  

That about wraps up my week in the sewing room.   I have still not been able to access my original blog so will continue on with Part 2 and maybe one day a solution will be found.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing  all

A new beginning because..........

Last week I upgraded my computer to Windows 11 and a problem has arisen where I have not been able to sign back into my original blog Karen's Korner so it was decided to start Part 11 and maybe in the near future I will be able to figure out how to transfer my blog from Windows 10 to Windows 11.  

Tonight is FNwF but due to the time spent on getting back into  the various sites and re-entering all the required passwords - all has been successful  with the exception of my blog - so as a consequence not much has been happening in the sewing room this week.

I will however be visiting those who do take part tonight to see what they have achieved.   You can also catch up on their progress here.    

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
