FNSI

*WENDY* from Sugarlane Quilts gathered us together for an Easter Sew-in last night.
I had a bit of a Sew-in Day. I started by doing a little assembly of my NO FUSS STITCH-A-LONG from last year Ruth's quilt. I know this looks messy but it is organised chaos!
I did get several rows together before I  needed a break and my pencils called.
I have to take it a bit easy because long periods cutting and sewing gives my neck grief. I was pleased with my progress and hope to do more over the weekend.
After playing in my journal for a bit and  making sure that the Hot Cross buns passed quality control, I decided that my Friday night project would be to applique a few more love hearts for my little girls.....some the same and some especially for their tastes.
Six more for the pile.
Oops! Should have pressed before photos lol!
Anyway I had a very happy creative kind of day whilst Mr. R. caught up on some sporty tv viewing.
I hope you are enjoying your Easter break....ours is quiet and very showery so relaxation is easy.
Happy Easter.
Thanks Wendy for hosting us again.
Thanks also to Pauline from Happy Retirees Kitchen for your lovely comments. I was unable to respond due to your No reply setting x
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  4. Love the hearts and you are on a roll putting that other quilt together. It i s difficult to stop cutting when you are in the zone but essential if we have a crook neck or crook hands. Best to have a break than do oermanant damage. Glad you enjoyed the buns.

  5. Sounds like a perfect day Michelle. Pressed or not, the hearts look great. We are in UK for Easter and it is surprisingly warm this weekend - have brought all the wrong clothes of course! Anyway, no sewing going on here although I have had time to doodle a bit in my sketchbook. Happy Easter and enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx

  15. Lovely to see the piles of hearts for the grandie girls growing. I read earlier that your eldest gd will inspect them at some stage - hope they all passed muster and very cool that the girls get to watch the quilt grow.
