You know that feeling that you have when deadlines are met, the climax has happened and you are left hanging - what to do next? Well, that's been me this week! (You can read my last post here if you have no idea what I am talking about!)
The need to sew is so ingrained in me that it didn't take long for my itchy fingers to start wriggling again.
But what to do?
I decided a good start would be to have a good look at the leader and ender project I've had in the background for the last few weeks. I always like to have a leader and ender project (ideally a scrap project so I don't have to think too hard) on the go. 'Goodnight Irene' is a good gobbler of 2.5" squares, of which I have plenty! Terry from Terry's Treasures has inspired many with this project, and it goes together very quickly and well.
And as is the way, scrap sewing does not always use scraps - it generates them too.......!!
Now that my head is a little more sorted and I have some direction for Irene, I will send her back to leader and ender status and poke around for my next main project - I have plenty to choose from!!
The stand for them is really lovely and I look forward to making more of these little hangings :-)
And on the wall in this corner of the shop you can see another wall hanging I have made; the long, skinny-ish one —
It's been nice to have these finishes, but now it's time for me to rummage through my sewing cupboard :-)
Happy stitching, have a great day - and thank you for visiting

| Goodnight Irene so far. After looking at others in Terry's linkups, I think I am going to slow down on my use of the creams, and try to make those 16 patch blocks a little more colourful. |

| I've been sewing 2 seams on the X-block instead of one so that when I trim it off, I have a half square triangle - something else to find a project for!! |

In the evenings I have pulled out my applique again, starting on Block 3 of the 2103 Quiltmania mystery. Here's the first little person from this block — |
| Can you guess what they are doing this time?! |

I said in my last post that I have a couple more projects (yaay, finishes) to share; ones that I've been sewing at home for the New Year's Launch my favourite quilt shop held last week. This first one is a 'Seasons' project we are doing, with the first season being Autumn (naturally, for those of us in this hemisphere!). As the year progresses we will work our way through the other seasons. |
| When I remember the name and designer I will edit this post! The single ladies are also very lovely and are by the same designer. |

| Quite clever how she has done the perspective, from left to right rather than front to back. |

| Isn't she sweet?! |
