Busy week this week with stuff other than sewing. I did manage to do the next block for the By the Sea Mystery. Block 3 is called Signal Flag by designer April Adams of JANDA Bend Quilts. I really liked this block and the secret message it says. This week we were to be going on a cruise for our 40th wedding anniversay, but with Covid restrictions sadly we are not. Still this block made me think about making some cruise related items for myself and my cruise loving sister. I will be adding signal flag placemats to my list of future projects - its a long list!
I have almost finished block 3 of Chick-Wheata, just a little more embellishments then I can start on the the next block.
With the hand stitching of this applique time consuming (I'm not complaining), I have done just a little of the Paper Moon baby quilt and I'm almost ready to move onto the next part. I haven't done this weeks - or last weeks - fussy cutting EPP, so that's a catch up for this coming week.
I did finish a face mask order, and got out the embroidery machine to make a few footie ROOSTER face masks.
Linking Parties to visit:
What a cute signal flag block!! And a fun way to think about good memories of trips on the sea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy.
DeleteLove the chicken embroidered face masks. Those are bound to be a great hit.
ReplyDeleteLove my Roosters football team thanks Gwyned.
DeleteNow i want to know what the secret message is!!! and I am sorry your cruise has been postponed - what a bummer - but I like that you have time to make such fun masks!
ReplyDeleteLOL. The message says 'QAL By The Sea'. I'll put other messages in the placemats when I make them. Messages like 'I need some vitamin sea'. Have had three cruises cancelled so far and I'm sure the one booked for November will be cancelled too.
DeleteBusy, busy! Love the rooster masks.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Roosters are my favourite footie team.
DeleteLove the fabrics for your Christmas bunting! And those Chick Wheats blocks are so cute! Thanks for sharing your QAL block! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing the link -up Jennifer.
DeleteThe signal flag looks wonderful. What fun to have a secret message spelled out in nautical flags. The Christmas masks are a great idea, but it makes me sad to think that they will probably be a necessity.
ReplyDeleteThank you KatieQ. Yes sad to think we may still need the masks at Christmas, but it is better to be safe.
