New Year new sewing

First off I had a little second Christmas - I won a selfmade FQ bundle from Andrea @ Quiltmanufaktur

We have a fabulous pink for my pink therapy quilt - trying to overcome my aversion, green because well if you have a look around, I simply love green. Wealso have blues, because I found out I have hardly any dark blues - well at least not ones I like, then of course I couldn't miss that purple - anyother favourite of mine - and to balance it out a red.

I got a good deal of sewing done on the Christmas Mystery Quilt - but I don't really like the diamond part (step2) so I'm thinking of comingup with an alternative filler for those parts - maybe a marine pointy block with neeutral background ... like last years Celtic solstice pointy blocks ... or furthering the yellow/turquoise checkerboard

more alibi blocks

I got aorund to starting on clue 3 fabrics are cut I just need to start the cahin piecing process - but as usual lately there is no time for that:

just for reference - clue 1 alibi block

But I started on the center block for a round robin (not really a reason why I don't have time, there are other things that take up so much more) ...

catching up on November

I seem to have turned into a monthly blogger ... I spend my days surroundedby old books and spread sheets .. weekends I spendgetting order in the spread sheets .. so there was not a lot of sewing ...

I did get a head start on some bee blocks for next year and finished the ones for this year ...









But you see not much "qualitiy time" with my sewign machine so I had this great idea to do a sewing sunday ... ehem yeah .. I spend my Sunday on a road block telling cars you turn around and head for the motorway, cyclists and pedestrians to go right and follow the road blocks .. and they shoudl eventually turn up in the town centre and NO that busstop behind me is not in service ... The highlight was a visit from a grandma granddaughter team bringing the poor frozen person some hot coffee

Yea so I didn't get much sewing done on Sunday but I got some headway on my swap-item



And most importantly I started on my winterly QAL ... again .. it's my Christmas thing that I never finish until the next hmm 3 Christmases are over ... though I didn't ge much more doen than some alibi blocks ... now maybe I will manage to just cut some more pices for the units ...



And some time in November I pulled out some of my favourite treasures that I am giong to use to make my centre block for a "Round Robin" quilt ... now I just need to decide on a pattern and actually sew it ..
