As I mentioned in my last post, Chooky had another Zoom party at the weekend.
It was lovely to have 'company' while I sewed.
I listened to the other ladies chatting away and joined in occasionally too!
I managed to achieve a few small items.
Firstly I used up some of the scraps from my recent Kaffe finish and made them into a bright table runner. I'll need to find something to bind it with.
There are still plenty of small off cuts left for another project.
I had a tidy up in my scrap drawers and came across these leftovers from a quilt I made a couple of years ago. I made some runners at the time with some of the scraps and decided that another made with squares wouldn't got amiss.
I like having a choice of runners and being able to change them around regularly.
Tired of waiting for my new lamp tube, I decided I would put together the blocks for I stitch.
I have three blocks worth of stitchery to catch up on.
My tube was delivered today, so catch up can commence. 😀
Janice let me know that the new colour for the RSC is purple, so I fished out a few pieces ready to make a start on my butterflies. I'm in two minds about my secondary RSC project, watch this space.
I also managed to get the last of my coloured crochet squares joined. I have lots of thread ends to tidy and a border to add, then that is another one done.
It wasn't all about needle crafts on Saturday, I also made a loaf of bread and had a beef casserole in the slow cooker.
All in all, I had a great day.
I had hoped to have more time to play on Sunday, but alas life got in the way.
Maybe after work tomorrow I'll be able to make my purple butterflies....

I'm going shopping on Wednesday.
For a new project.
Excited.

Congratulations on your new granddaughter! Adorable photos with big brother. Plenty of time with needle and thread going on in your sewing room, so pretty. Glad your light tube finally arrived. I haven’t had any embroidery out to work on in weeks, need to fix that.
I love that bright table runner! You have been busy working away. Una is adorable but I imagine you are wishing you were there!
Stay healthy and stitch on!
It was nice to see you on Saturday (ok Friday night for me)! It helps to put faces to the names.
Blessed Be!
