March Rainbow Scrap Challenge

So good to be back in the sewing room. I finished what I had started back in March of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, red things. I didn't make a lot, with not many days in the sewing room.

I have been working on April RSC blocks this week and last. I have so many pink scraps!

Today was the first full day I was able to spend in the sewing room, and it was wonderful. By 1.30pm I thought it must have been 5.30 😇, and I got so much done. Let's hope it continues all weekend.

My Second Finish for the Year

Had a couple of weeks on another relaxing adventure, didn't even do any hand stitching.

Back now and I finally finished quilting Lupines and Laughter quilt, designed by Bonnie Hunter.

I decided to use orphan blocks as the backing, but don't think I will use so many next time. I've used spare blocks from quilts to join two pieces of fabric for the backing previously, and that was much easier. Some of the blocks were left overs, some were from projects I didn't finish. The purple blocks were for a quilt I was making for a good friend, who sadly, suddenly passed, before I had finished. I'm happy to include them in this quilt as it will live on our bed. 

Anyway, I made a big dent in my ophan blocks box.

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.
