More Giraffes!

I made up Funky Friends Factory Raff the Giraffe at the beginning of June using Tula Pink Eden range which has been a hit. I made him for a customer. So of course I then had to make a shop sample as I shared him on my social media accounts. This led to my goddaughter asking could I make her one, which I couldn't refuse. She pick out pink with white spots and a cute little stripe to go with it.
Plus I had a request for a grey and yellow one like my current shop sample.

So I spent an afternoon finishing off all three giraffes. The purple one was nearly finished but the other two were only cut out ready for sewing.

Followed by an evening of stuffing and chasing a cat who decided he was a lion who wanted to hunt flat giraffes. Denim wasn't quite impressed when I stood they around him, so much so he attacked the yellow and grey one. I wish I got a picture but it was over before I go the camera ready.

Diggles the Dragon is next for me to try and make a shop sample up.

Until Next Time

July's Project Uninterrupted Day

It is the first Saturday of the month so that means it is Project Uninterrupted day in the shop and we had a full house today. Project Uninterrupted is our working to finish a project. Any project, it is a chance to have 4 hours to work Uninterrupted if you want. Today's projects included the Farmers Wife Sampler, English paper piecing of pin cushion and a hexagon quilt, a couple of Stash Bash Sewing Party projects, Pemberley and some Sasaki work. So you can see we had a wide selection of projects. I love seeing what everyone is working on. The only problem is I was busy so I am lacking photos to share. I did snap a couple last minute photos to share.
This is Mandy version of one of the Stash Bash Sewing Party projects. It is looking good, borders to be added next time.

My Forget Me Not hexagon quilt. Only a little progress for me.

Next time I have a full house I might have to volunteer someone to take some pictures for me.

We have a Facebook group Cynthia's Ark Project Uninterrupted if you want to us online and share any sewing project you are working on.

Until Next Time

350 Block Project - June's Report

This month's total is 30 blocks.
I started with finishing some quilting and binding before swapping back to my 1/4" foot and back to block making and I must say I am feeling good to get 3 projects cleared away.
So where do I start.
More Scrap Crazy blocks this time controlled placement of fabrics is going to give a totally different look though the block layout is the same. It is all in the fabric. 16 blocks.

Three test blocks for the Christmas Sampler I needed to test the blocks for size. I didn't want to waste the Sampler fabric in case my measurements were out.

Once the the test blocks were correct I made my 4 blocks for this month.

Only 3 pictures, why have I missed 1 block. I don't know.

One test block for my next Stash Bash Sewing Party which is going to be scrappy. Well my scrappy.
 Secret at this stage.

Four octagon blocks for the All Over the Octagon Fussy Cutting Fabric Club.

My Scrap Dance quilt finally has the rows sewn together for 4 more to my total.

Along with my blocks from Quiltmaker 2015 New Year mystery quilt along are now a quilt top for 12 more.

So in the end the total is 44 for this month.

Until Next Time
