Saturday Catch Up

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.

Today I am going to make some (hopefully my last) Christmas masks and then two Christmas Stockings for family and add to my Christmas bunting collection.

    1. LOL. 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.

  6. The 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.

  7. Thank you KatieQ. Yes sad to think we may still need the masks at Christmas, but it is better to be safe.
