Project Uninterrupted February

It was our February Project Uninterrupted session in the shop being the first Saturday of the month. I was glad it wasn't a scorched like last month. Everyone was doing hand work this month. I can tell you there was 3  Pemberley quilts, 1 Octagon Club, 1 Farmer's Wife Sampler, 1 embroidery project and my English paper pieced star project on the go. A nice mix of projects and progress was made with a lot of catching up. It makes for a very relaxing day. Even though a couple of customers that popped wasn't sure how much progress was being made for all the chatting but that is the beauty of handwork. It is easy to hold a conversation.

Our next Project Uninterrupted session is on the 19th February and there is a few spots still available for our Sunday session if you would like to join us. Give the shop a call to book your spot. My project didn't see much action as the shop was busy but I did manage to sew a few diamonds together in the afternoon. These days are great fun.

 

Of course if you can't make it to the shop to join in, you can join the Cynthia's Ark Project Uninterrupted Facebook group and share what you are working on and sew along with us in the shop from wherever in the world you are. As long as you sewing you are welcome.

Until Next TIme

350 Block Report 2017 - January

So hot here to start the year and the only sewing done at the beginning of the month was making a set of curtains and fixing some of my husband work pants. So I don't think they count.

It was 8 days in before I got to start on this year's sewing  2 octagon block was made, one was a December's block and one for January.

A test block for a block swap got done.
I can't share the picture at this stage.

1 block from my En Provence quilt

Lastly a couple more  blocks on my Forget me not quilt.

So my total  for January is only 8. I don't think I have done that few blocks in a month before.
Until next time

February's One Monthly Goal

Time to select this month challenge. As February is a short month I thought I would choose a small project to work on this month.

Here it is it. An English paper piecing star project where I have fussy cut the diamonds to create a secondary pattern in the star. The star is ready for sewing and the plan is to sew it all together this month and get it sewn on to the background fabric before the end of February.  Who know I may find more sewing time and get to quilt it. Now that would be fantastic but I won't hold my breath and I will be happy if I get it sewn together and sewn on the background fabric. This is what I am using for the background.

If you want to join in or have a look at what others are going to work on this month. here is the link 

Until Next Time
