It's been a while....

 Many projects have been worked on since my last post, some have been finished😇, most not. 

You can catch up with me on https://www.instagram.com/sussex_gansey/

I have been taking stock of my crafting tasks in the last month or so......things have got out of hand!  It has been a useful exercxise whist recovering from back injury. I am trying to get as many of the quilt tops together and finnished as I can, to eliminate all the boxes and baskets of bits. I'm counting plastic storage donation  as a win! 

I have  way too many four  patches from   2" and 1 1/2" strips, made as leaders and enders.  These four patches and pinwheels which I sewed up this week from pre-made scrappy four patches  and red  pre-cut triangles  will be pieced into Patches and Pinwheels, a free pattern  on Bonnie Hunters blog page. They need pressing first, along with a lot of other stuff!  This project hasn't  scratched the surface of the four patches. It will probably be a gift. There are enough scrappy four patches for two quilts and I have more precut triangles......slow and steady😏

I have lots of small four patches and 1 1/2" strips from another project.   I had tried out scrappy houses a while ago, so I have made 15 six  patch strips like this with  what I had. Thats another small pile out of the way. 

I will add to these as I cut more strips. More on the pressing pile.

I have also worked on the scrappy strip block pile, making up the strips, pressing cutting, making up the blocks for trimming to 10" square.  So much to cut and press! 

Old clothing, edge strips, uglies, orphan blocks, wonky blocks, crumbs and chunks, selvedges, ribbon from christmas gifts, it all goes in.

These are the leader-ender  broken dishes I have been working on for a couple of years, cut from 2" strips, now being pieced into blocks. I think I have enough for a top. I'm not sure how to set them, side by side, or borders? 

I have been grateful for the things I have finished this winter. This picture is titled Unmade Bed- a puzzle quilt, a ten stitch blanket and a 16 patch leader ender quilt, along with the duvet. Cozy!

These are some of the projects I have worked on in the last few months.....

there is much more going on.....

I put these completed  blocks togeather last week. I really like this one, it will be a gift. 

This winter, I put togeather two of these blankets with crochet, made from scrap yarn. the squares are double sided, nice warm pockets , it's very heavy. These took 16 years: I remember when I tried the first square.  As you can tell, I don't do sittting still really. 

I have made and yarn bombed  many jellyfish from scap yarn and buttons.

Much more to come! 

Thanks for dropping by.
