A Little Easter Sewing

With Easter only a few weeks away I thought I would make some Easter egg bunting. Using a template, I cut out the backing and the batting. I have a bag of scrap batting off cuts that I use for small sewing.

I think the backs look as good as the fronts.

I started by making some single colours and then decided to make them more coulorful. I might even embellish them.


I made them as leaders and enders - along with some red scraps items - while sewing the orphan block backing for a quilt.

February RSC - Green

Away on a cruise adventure last week....

....so this is what I've been working on: -

Rainbow Scrap Challenge - hosted by So Scrappy

colour for February was green. 

I missed January colour, it was blue, but I did a few bluey things as I has blue scraps already out.

With the green, I did three more triangles for the 'random' triangle quilt/table topper/whatever 😊. 
Added to my coaster stash
Made some more 6.5inch squares
I think I have enough to make a scrappy quilt now.
I made a couple more pineapples - not sure what I will do with them.  
The colour for March is red. 

I'm still working on the orphan block backing for Lupine and Laughter, will be using the reds for leaders and enders this month.

2026 Focus Cutting Sew Along

This year Naomi's Focuscutting Sewalong focus is the square. I wasn't sure if I would do it or not..... but I love hand stitching so.......

I keep tossing up between making curtains or something else. I guess when a I have a number of blocks I will decide.

Week one above is motif. The theme for the first 4 weeks is the colour white or cream. The can be background or focus. At present I'm using one and a half inch blocks, but may change that depending on the fabric. 4 blocks make a 4-patch. Week 2 was obscure sections. I 'cheated' and used a striped pattern to make the block - my block my rules, right 😆!

Week 3 was matching. I usually don't like the matching as I think it wastes too much fabric and it's REALLY hard.

 I still missed one section.
  
Week 4 was freestyle so I made another motif block.
