UFOs Away!

 We love UFO days!

Lots to do and a set aside time to get it done is always fun!


First up, the blocks for the final weave top were ready to stitch.


These have a white background that really

 makes the colors pop.

The top is complete!


Then the posy blocks were next to be opened up.

This little found/gifted project took up a lot more 

time than I'd planned.

It needed 17 additional stars to fill in the alternate spots. 

They are very fun to make and 

use up some scraps too, bonus!


Two sides of half the posy blocks had 

to be removed to make row joining easier.



That done,  the rows were stitched up and 

set aside awaiting decisions.  

Do I piece together the lattice bits, 

or find a fabric to match and cut new?

White background stars may be side borders to 

make a twin sized width. They have been 

waiting patiently for a purpose. 


A pinning day for the tops in waiting will have to 

keep waiting since the Discovery table has 

more tops to be unearthed!  It's is archeaeology February I think!

Lara Croft may be playing later in the workroom theatre!

Stash Report, Stitching Time , Scraps In?

 It's  the end of January

and I have one finish and no other fabric in,

 so my numbers are holding steady. 

This brings me to 7 meters of usage so far,

 with 0 fabric added,

so -7m fabric increase.

However with  guild /group 

meetings coming up that may change

for February. We seem to treat fabric stashes 

like a lending libray, meters move around a lot!

Sewing time has been consitent for the past two weeks, 

catching some minutes every day and still working on the

Millennium exchange blocks. 

A Discovery table clean up found these little posy blocks and 

a new top was born. 


They will be combined with some blue background stars

from this parts department:


and look something like this!


It's an exciting time for the begining of February

with a new top in the works!
