Focus Cutting 2025

 

I really haven't been doing a lot of hand stitching this year, its not that I don't enjoy doing it anymore, its more that I am time poor doing other things like family tree, travelling and machine projects - all of which I love doing. As a result this year I am only going to make blocks that I have the fabric for. Being another year of alphabetical blocks, I can pre-cut some to take away while travelling.  

Above are blocks 9 and 11, taken on the beach at Inskip Point. 9 is E for elephant and 11 is F for flags.

This is 15 - yes I know a gap, I'll have to looks for the photos - H is for hearts.

Block 21 is K is for kittens knitting.

Between the Lines

Finished the last row of Between the Lines sew along. It was another paper pieced block, and I'm kind of enjoying the process.

I'm really happy with result. The top is finished and all I need to do now is turn it into a quilt.

Finished and Started.......

I finished the second last row of Between the Lines, row 2 - Roundabout. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Only one more row to do, then finishing it off. I'm in the process of making that last row this week. I'm starting to enjoy foundation piecing.

I started the 2025 Moda Blockheads 6 this week. Block 1 is designed by Vanessa Christenson and named Regatta. There are many different colour combinations and variations of the block, so it took some fiddling with different combinations to decide on the final block. This is my 6th Blockheads, BH1 is still in a box waiting to be sashed and finished off. 2,3,4, and 5 were made into quilts - and I think I finished most of them. I'll have to find photos of the finished quilts and post them.  

This year my first project for BH6 will be a collection of wall-hangings for the stairwell at home. I will include photos, so like a photo album. As this years blocks are all 9" I might make the second project as a large border around a fairy panel.

This is block one - the first column of the wall hanging will be reds.

I'm going to try a new browser to see if I can upload this blog on parties that I haven't been able to upload to the last month or so.
