Mini Series Sew Along - Week 6

Week 6 - Triangle geese. I'm really loving these geese blocks as part of the mini series sew along. This was another 4 1/2 block and enjoyed every minute of making it!

2 more weeks before all the blocks will be complete!

Mini Series Sew Along - Week 5

Week 5 - Stretched Geese. 

I loved making this block, the simplicity of the background with the pop of pink in the stretched geese, definitely one of my favourites from the pattern series. Still tiny piecing at 4 1/2 inches! 

I also tried some fussy cutting with the little gold star - not quite accurate but getting better!

Mini Series Sew Along - Week 4

Week 4 of the Mini Series Sew Along was the Hexagon step block. 

I was now back in full swing with foundation paper piecing and really enjoyed making this block!! 

It would be great to sew some of these blocks with the hexagon in one solid colour or perhaps an ombre effect rather than the radiation style symbol, I might give that a go!!

Mini Series Sew Along - Week 3

This was one of my favourite blocks of the Sew Along, the Pineapple block.
A lot more tiny piecing with this block, which took a bit longer, but very happy with the final result. Again another 4 1/2 inch finished block!

Mini Series Sew Along - Week 2

Week 2 of the Mini Series Sew Along was a traditional Courthouse Step block.
I continued using the same mix of pinks and background fabric.
Completed size of this block was 4 1/2 inches!

Mini Series Sew Along - Week 1

The block for Week 1 was a traditional Log House Cabin.

Love this block and ended up at 4 1/2 inches, which was some tiny piecing!!

Rediscovering my Sew - Jo!!

The last few weeks have resulted in time to reflect, think and plan a few more creative adventures.
I have re discovered my sew-jo and it's been wonderful!!

Reflecting on where my quilting adventures started, back when blogging and Flickr were my go to creative inspirations! I miss those days and communities, the sew-alongs and swaps but when one goes another one comes along and that was Instagram.

I fell out of love with IG when my account was taken over and I lost treasured photos, memories and people I followed. I never got back my original account and photos but whether coincidence or fate I am now back to my original account name and am slowly loving IG more and more.
I've also decided to pop back on here and document my sewing adventures a bit more! Who knows how long that will last, but I have loved looking back on old posts!!

Current on my sewing table is the Mini Series Sew Along on IG hosted by Giucy Giuce and Alison Glass. I've completed 8 weeks of blocks plus the bonus block and have a plan in my mind for what to do with my blocks, so I will see how that goes this week!!

I have really enjoyed the Sew Along, getting to discover new people and re visit foundation paper piecing!!

So yes, you may see me around here a bit more even if it's just a photo of what I've been making!!

Happy Stitching!!
