Travel sewing: 100 Hexies 100 Days

We are having such a great time travelling our beautiful country that I have little time to blog - BUT I do have time to sew, so here is a quick catchup. If you follow me on Instagram @allibub27 you will see projects as I finish them.

Last post I showed you the focus cutting sewalong that I am doing all year, next post I will show you a tag sewalong that I am also doing all year, but this post I will show you half of 100hexies100days sewalong. I have actually finished this this challenge / sewalong but have only uploaded the first 50. Today it is raining and we are overlooking a dry lake that is slowly getting water, so I should have time to upload more photos - unless I decide to sew 😊. Week one above, was free choice. I chose my favourite colour - pink, footie team - ROOSTERS, cruising, family likes bike riding, use scissors every day, a cute elephant and never enough time. Week 2 was treasures so I chose fabric that looked like treasures. As we are travelling I am limited in what fabrics I have, so sometimes I have to be inventive.

This means I often use the same fabric in different themes (I love Tula Pink fabric - and a FQ goes a long way).

  I think this is the third year I have joined SewFoxyMama's 100days 100hexies. It is a FaceBook group and each year prompts at given for each week.

That's it. Happy sewing everyone.

Making EPP Templates

Have you ever been happily sewing and run out of your epp papers? I often do, and it reminds me to finish some epp projects to free up some papers. I wasn't able to get to a sewing shop, so did some google research and decided to make my own. It took about two hours, but now I have a master I'll be able to print off when needed. I think it will be easier to make the templates for next years (2020) #fussycuttingsewalong as I have not been able to find them as yet. Interesting, while 'researching' I came across a YouTube video that shows one how to cut templates from a Cricut machine - I have a Cricut machine. I will be trying this.

I saw a video from Missouri Star Quilt Company about quilt as you go hexies and remembered I had the templates for this, so I got them out and was inspired to make a Christmas tree skirt - work in progress.

 

 

I've also been working on catching up with the #fussycuttingsewalong - better now I have the papers.

 

 I also completed the next section of the Galloromanic Moasic mystery.

 ...and also started a modern mystery row by row sew along hosted by Sugaridoo.

And of course I started Bonnie's new mystery.
