I know some of you are waiting for it.
Sewing my scraps together to make a rug for a special gift.
All 45 strips are sewn to the batting. I really only needed to make 42. They measure about 45” long. This took a long time.

I received my quilt back from Judy @ Cornerstone Creations before I went on a little holiday. Friday night I fit shed hand stitching the binding down. It was nearly 11m of binding.
My travelling stitching was also some sashiko.
1st block finished
It is National Jelly Roll Day. Chooky was having a zoom morning. This time I was up early enough to join in.
I decided to try a new to me technique and project. This required cutting a lot of 2 1/4” wadding strips. I dragged out all my offcuts and cut away.
Then I pulled out my smaller pieces of blue fabrics and I made my own jelly roll by cutting them into 2.5” strips.
I have been getting into the Potato Chip blocks and been cutting up my scraps. I have used my GO cutter to cut all these. They measure 2.5” * 4.5”. I have a few hundred cut now.
I joined up with Aussie Chippettes and put my name down for some swaps. These included 20 Potato Chip, 10 Terry Rowland, 10 * 4 patches and 3 house blocks.
I have returned from a 5 week holiday to Darwin and collected my mail. What a lovely surprise.
Look at all this happy mail. So many nice and pretty blocks.
Thank you everyone who took part.
I have been working on my slow stitching Kawandi project I received at Aprils Scrub Stitchin retreat.
This is all the fabric I had left out of a charm pack.
I went on a sewing cruise back in 2014 for my birthday and did a class with Jane MacDonald.
Have a look HERE at the project she taught and I started.
I have done all the HEXIES. No I don’t like EPP.
So where am I now. A few blocks have been done, some started a lots still to do.
I am linking up with Deana for this month’s start. I did not achieve August challenge as we have been away.
