Well, it doesn't seem that long ago I cleaned my machine but a picture tells a thousand stories.
I opened the bobbin area to a mess

I used up all the scraps from the golf quilt and wanted a placemat for my brother. He liked the kawandi style one I was making when he last visited.
This was made in May so doesn't qualify for my challenge this month.
I had enough fabric.
It was put on the table straight away and used that night.
I don't know. Not much I suppose. I was missing in action. I found myself spending too much time reading blogs and watching Youtube. I was not getting anything else done apart from drs appointments. Ever since I got back from Scrub Stitchin' (post will still happen) my enthusiasm faded and I went down the technology rabbit hole. I did hide away and do some sewing which I will slowly post about during June.
It's a new month so I will do a post about my scrappy green mystery project (which I am still to complete) to link up with Scrap Happy Saturday.
During May I did work on a mystery with Conquering Mount Scrapmore.
All the weekly clues make up this 20" block
Ok. So my challenge item this month is # 8… To make a bag for my Flip La K rulers. It was on last year’s list but never got done. I just went to get my fabrics out and the embroidered sign wasn’t in there. That’s 2 I have lost now. A friend did the signs for me. Mmmmmm
****** EDITED ******
Another friend had my embroidered sign mixed up with her sewing. AND it’s GREEN too.
You can read on my Previous 2024 post to learn more about it.
Wow, what a month April has been. I will need to do a few catch up posts since my last one as I have been a little bit cheeky. I did make a quick, sneaky trip to Scrub Stitchin with my hubby. Everyone was surprised. We had a great time, arrived home exhausted and burnt out. More posts will cover this.
I am going to do this post about my golf quilt. Blocks were decided upon getting what I could from the fabric I had. I had a large piece of the check fabric for the backing but I needed to cut into it to tie all the blocks together and get them to fit.
Ok, so while I have been home with Tony I have realised there are way too many projects in my sewing room. Whether they have been kitted, started, a flimsy, basted or just fabric, there is tooooo much.
I need to work on some. So I grabbed this one out.
It is all coordinating Golf fabric.
I found another bag of baby girl scraps left over from a quilt I made years ago.
What can I make from these?
In my charity tub were small scraps of baby prints.
I grouped them in colours and stitched away
I have a tub of leftover donated items and fabric scraps.
Amongst them were three pieces of trialled art pieces. Perfect for placemats
Well, so many are on the road and already at Scrub Stitchin. But for some this is the next best thing.

A CLAYTONS SCRUB STITCHIN…
So what have I prepared.
Potato Chip blocks
Get out my red box.
And the Village house blocks. I am following this tutorial to get the 5 * 2 blocks required for a swap.
I am taking part in an online swap for these and need to get a few cut and sewn. I am cutting what is required before I start sewing.
