More SKoW movement


Over the last few weeks I've had fun making some more 'Some Kind of Wonderful' & SAL items :)

First up, the SKoW bag (August item) and needle-book (September item) that I showed here, given to Melody as part of my F.R.I.E.N.D.S. swap ... 

I have also been able to get another block done of my quilt, the rainbow block ...
It wasn't as fiddly as I thought it would be, though I have to say, I appreciated my LED Lightbox/pad immensely when laying all the pattern pieces out!!  Thanks to Vicki of Pickledish Patch for making them available!!! 

I have sewn together all the pieces for this (middle) row, all but including this block in there, so I'll get that put together before I show this row in it's loveliness *grin*.  This leaves me with three blocks left to make, the friendship block, the sewing block, and the 'chair' possibly wine and cheese (or working out/exercise - I really enjoy it while I'm doing it ... it's just getting me there, or making the time where I struggle!) block.  Here's hoping I get some blocks prepped and done in the next few days!

Larissa, Love the colours of your SAL projects - well done on finishing them.
I scrapped the chair too - I put in a Christmas tree. Not so much to do - looking forward to seeing it all together.
