The lovely Amo messaged me to ask if I was ok - I hadn’t realised it’s been so long since I blogged!
Thank you yes - I’m fine. It’s just that all of my little jobs (which are independently sometimes busy, sometimes quiet) got busy at the same time🥴
However when I thought about it, I do try and spend an few hours with husband through out the day and that usually involves the TV being on but me sewing or crocheting - so there has been some progress!
I made six hexie flowers for the FB hexie swap I’m a member of
My hexi rounds quilt has reached a natural pause as I’m out of hexies
I’m teaching a modern crewel class in a few months and have been playing with a sample - it’s tote bag and I’m having fun filling the random circles
The Plus Quilt has grown a bit
And in other news, Husband has re-varnished the garden table
And Lisa has finished her Ferris wheel crochet - isn’t it great!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.

2020 Wk 2 - memories quilt
I’ve finally stitched together what looks like a fairly basic quilt
The Janet Clare fabrics really spoke to me and with her help I created some FMQ embroidered blocks of images that I associate with holidays with my father. I added some embroidery machine designs I created that also “belonged” and put them all together this afternoon
The fabrics show very nautical images - lots of different boats - and trees and red cottages, and birds and seaweed from the island, and weather; particularly wind and rain which the west coast of Norway is well known for
There are ten or eleven embroidered squares - this Viking ship and the rose are reminders of his memorial service 18 months ago.
These are the FMQ blocks from before
Now I just need to find time to bind it!!
I have also finished the temperature embroidery, (difficult to photograph 15 foot x 2 inches!)
And the Red Velvet crochet has grown a bit
And a final gingerbread man has finished some weaving - and will be a pressie for a young lady who helped me with a weaving project!
