Crochet Blocks (3)

OMGosh - how woeful - 3 blocks since March.  but 3 is better than 2

Sunday Stitchers - Autumn Project, Easter Postcard, Crochet Blocks

Seasonal Project

Our Sunday Stitchers group decided to have an optional project for 2024.  We are making seasonal "things" - originally, it was to be a mini quilt - but we changed it a bit so you can make whatever you want.

I decided to make different versions of my house.  The seasons don't really vary much in sub-tropical Brisbane and I am not into pumpkins which seems to be the usual choice, so I included a bit of orange as flowers in the garden.

I suspect an architect or technical drawer would be horrified, but this is a fair representation of our house.

Easter Postcard

Following the success (??) of our Christmas Postcard swap, we decided to do it again for Easter...Sadly, only 4 participated.  😞

I made this one - an In The Hoop project from Sweet Pea - adapted for a postcard.

It went to Alison and I received hers....I guess with only 4 it was statistically likely!

One was made by Cheryl who couldn't come today - so here are the 3.

                              

Crochet Blocks

It's been ages since I have handed over some crochet blocks to Maria - but finally, today was the day...only 9...but it is something.

We had s fun day, despite a number of us missing

Crochet Blocks (11)

It seems ages since I had some blocks to post...well it was back at the end of May

Here is the latest very small collection for Maria.  11 blocks - yes it all helps.  😞

Crochet Blocks - April & May

I am still crocheting blocks when I can - not nearly as many as I used to do....but  I often do them at night if I am watching telly.

At the May SS meeting, I was able to hand over this collection of 20 blocks to Maria.  As the weather has cooled down quite a bit lately - there is plenty of call for warm blankets.

It's a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

FNWF - March

Today I had a FDWF and a FNWF.  Yes, a Day of sewing, crafting, eating, laughing and celebrating De's Birthday followed by Night time sewing with cyber friends.

During the day, I added cording to these drawstring bags which I had made earlier.
.

Helen has them now - ready for filling & dispensing.   a Quick charity project - 18 in all.

Then I did some sashiko on my tree panel 

and after a while - put it aside and did some crochet.

Tonight, the usual Better Homes & Gardens TV show and some more on the tree panel.

A few of us had been wondering what the RSC colour was for March - so I brazenly emailed Angela and received the reply in time for some cutting tonight.

My friend Inca is bringing her I Spy fabrics to our sewing meeting on Saturday (Yes, another one) and hopefully she has some greens I can add to fill in the gaps.

Yes, the colour is Green (For St Patricks's Day???)

During the show/crochet time, there were a lot of messages back and forth about a project that one of the group had decided on and we were all gradually being drawn in (or is that sucked in???)... Wait & see.  . . .I will just review my long list of UFOs & Planned Projects and hopefully talk myself out of it.
In case you are curious the discussions centered around this pattern:

Thanks Cheryll for hosting - and happy sewing to all who were able to join in.

Crochet Blocks - January & February (13)

My production of crochet blocks seems to have slowed down since I stopped working (ummm....)

But I had this little pile (13) ready for handing over to Maria.  She has a new group that these go to now - KCD (Knit Crochet Donate)
