There isn't a lot of crafting to report on from the weekend.... I'm not sure where the weekend has disappeared to!
However I did sit down on Friday evening to join Cheryll and friends for Friday Night With Friends. I worked on a needlecase, a wee kit which arrived in my Scrubstitching parcel last month.
It was a nice sew, not too much thinking required and I was surprised that with a bit of work on it on Friday night and then some time on Saturday, it was finished!
Don't forget that these each measure 4 ½" which makes them a fun challenge. I had started using the RSC monthly colour as a guide for sewing the shoofly blocks (this month is green so I'm way off!) but sometimes it's easier to just grab what's nearby.
I had thought I would have some walk photos to share in this post but it's been blustery and rainy all day so I didn't venture out. (Yaay for some rain!) I did a very quick power walk up and down the first hill by the chookyard this morning but that was all!

The inside page is a nice piece of woven wool —
Here it is with the pouch which was the other kit in our Scrubstitching package. Lovely to have them to do even though we didn't get to attend the retreat —
I did a bit of sorting and planning today so my only other sewing this weekend was a couple of scrappy blocks for my Omigosh quilt. I hadn't sewn any of these for a while and because there was a pile of sewn strips sitting next to my machine, I gave them some attention.

Cute needle case and love your omigosh blocks.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the needlecase finish. Your blocks are beautiful I forget how small they are until you remind us!! Powerwalking is good to be doing, better than no walks me!! Must get out today.
ReplyDeleteThose tiny squares are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your pretty needlecase finish.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I've started revisiting blogs I haven't read for a while, I think you may have motivated me to do some crafting, I just haven't felt at all motivated. You've been busy with the quilts and they've been fabulous. I've had to downgrade to a smaller room, so less space and it's in desperate need of organising, shelving etc, until then I'm voiding it :D
ReplyDeleteGood morning Raewyn wow i love your little needlecase and your pouch is gorgeous,well done on such a beautiful set.
ReplyDeleteWell dne also with your walking i started back walking yesterday not very far but better than nothing,hope you have a lovely week my friend xx
I love needlecases. Don't know why, but they just appeal to me. Your OMG blocks must be coming along well. I managed to make 2 quilt tops in April! Stash hasn't reduced though! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a very cute needlecase and looks lovely with your zippy bag. You did better than I did....I forgot to sign up :(
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet little needle case and looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, too. Even with a lock down there are not enough hours in the day!
Your needlecase is precious! I love your blocks too...but they are tiny aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good week and stay safe and well!
Raewyn - those Scrubstitching projects are simply adorable! Having a quick project is so satisfying, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous needlecase x
ReplyDeleteI love OMigosh and made a wall quilt for a friend once, but I want one for myself. I need to follow your lead and just cut some strips and leave them by my machine.
