Winter is coming

As the cold weather begins I'm looking forward to traveling to the warmer (by day at least), central Australia, and lots of hand sewing to be going on. I am already starting to pack a box of fabric to take. I haven't been doing a lot of hand sewing at home - too many other things that need to get done and of course I have my machines. I am a little behind with the fussy cutting hexies, but that's ok!! May is a month of favourites - Week 19 favourite colour, well pink of course!

Week 20 -favourite fabric, well so many to choose from, and it was really hard to fussy cut. Just as well I like crazy units! Week 21 is favourite house, so I need to find my Tula Pink fabric. So many favourite fabrics, but Tula Pink is what I'm collecting at the moment, so it must be my favourite.

Week 22 is favourite cutting style - well that will be interesting. I've not long been doing fussy cutting and feel I'm still learning, so I guess I'll be doing a 'framing' flower - the only one I feel confident doing.

I finished the Spring Fling Mystery by Simply Colorful and really like the pattern. I substituted blue/teal instead of green; dark purple instead of dark blue; pink instead of magenta. I'm very happy with my choices.

After looking at some other quilters colour choices, I think I'll have to make another one 😍.

 I have only finished one block from the new hexie sewalong, block 8 .... but road trip coming up so .....

So that's it for a few weeks, till we are on the road.
