I have
wanted to get back on to this project for a while, but unfortunately the last few months have seen me rather unwell, injured (with a hyperextension injury in my wrist - not fun!! ... I
do not recommend getting one of these!!), and then unwell again and I just haven't been able to get onto any of my sewing commitments/plans.
Now Chooky has cracked the whip ... I am well ... and I am taking some time off from my studies ... there is some movement! The 'old blue jeans block' ...
|
Jeans block prepared for needle turn appliqué...
Square of fabric at top left is ready for *was 'cupcakes* block. |
I have gotten one leg sewn so far, and am hoping to finish this block tonight ... Pellon, cut to size, is sitting ready for fusion.
|
My current set-up for sewing ... like my tin of 'Superior Threads'? |
Then I *really* need to get on to finishing this mini before I can do too much more of the stitching for SKoW...
|
Needs needle turn & stitchery to be done, sandwiched, quilted & bound :) ASAP!! |
I previously had the
umbrella,
cup of tea &
suitcase blocks finished.

My previously completed blocks
I also finished the cupcakes block, but I am not in the least happy with it; plus I have decided that really, cupcakes aren't one of my favourite things ... and, inspired by all the adaptions by the other ladies, I have decided to replace this with 'pavlova' - my absolute favourite desert!! I'm hoping to at least have the image for this block drawn up and fabrics selected by the end of the weekend, along with a February (chocolates block is ready, just needs to be sewn/stitched) & March's blocks at least prepared for next week ...
This next month & a half is gonna go quick! ... Better get back to it!!

You're making good progress - sorry for you health issues - I particularly like your jeans & suitcase. And a pavlova block sounds like a great idea.
Its good to see your progress but your health has kept you from working on it so that is understandable. I would love to see more of the mini. It looks like a cat and I might be interested in the pattern.
