Thank you!

Thank you, it's fun just picking colours one block at a time. I'm getting all sorts of colourful combinations

14 more quilt blocks completed. Lots of half square triangle variants in this batch, those are nice and fast to sew.

Stopped avoiding working on the lace section of this knitted t-shirt and put some time in to get it finished. The rest of the front yoke is nice and simple stockinette.

Started a pair of socks, liked the look of the pattern but don't like working the cables so I've done one repeat and now I'm reverting to plain socks

The organisation of scraps in use. Decided to make a random quilt to use some up and practice piecing techniques by making all 200 different blocks in this quilting book.

My big stuff is just stacked in a bin, but highly recommend going through it all semi regularly

Spent some time organising all my scraps so they are easy to get too. Hoping to start making some scrappy quilt squares. But first some mending.

Felt pukeko, that pattern and felt came from when we cleared out mum's stash and I've finally done something with it.

Finally dealing with the last of the loose embroidery threads i collected from my mum's stash. Including a package of threads from her aunt, which look like mum never touched them so who knows how old they are. I've managed to squeeze them all in with the rest
