On My Small Design Wall this evening.

My apologies the lightening isn’t too good at the moment.  Here are some of the projects that I’ve been working on.

New since Monday is the Jane Austen Chawton Cottage WIP.   I started these a couple of years ago.  The beautiful charm squares for the pieced blocks were kindly sent to me by Tilde.  Thank you once again Tilde :)  I finished hand piecing the little diamonds while on holiday last year.  Today I finally got around to printing out the larger diamonds using Jane Austen Inklingo collection.  I also printed out the setting triangles around the edges.  Tomorrow I will hopefully start the stitching together.  I will do this bit by machine.  I would like this baby finished by the end of the month :-D

Here is a close up:

I have also done a couple more of the Temecula 12 days of Christmas mini mystery.  I’m actually keeping up with this one the blocks are so simple and there’s only 3 more days left.

The little red asteriks block is from the Craftsy new BOM.  I’ve decided to make mine 6 inch finished and to use red and neutrals.

Those seams in the centre became very bulky so it looks a bit puffy.

The Maple leaf is 6 inch finished also.  This is for a BOM on an online group of which I am a member.  Again, I’m choosing to make it smaller than the 12 inch block published.

The little cat face is crocheted.  I made it a while back and have it pinned up there, just because.  Same with the extra Leanne House embroidery block.  I think I will use this block in a little gift for someone special.   The little basket is in Jo Morton fabrics.  It was a swap on the JM Yahoo Group.  I didn’t participate but I made up one block… again, just because ;))

On my sewing table on the right I have a tray with a Dear Jane block in progress.

The magazine below my design wall is the one with the crocheted shawl pattern, which I am in the process of un-crocheting.

I also made another little house.  It is the red one.  Here is a close up of the two together:I rotary cut and machined the bottom part of and chimney area.  Freezer paper pieced the roof section. Then hand pieced the side sky pieces, where as I paper pieced all parts of the first one (top) except the side sky bits which I machine pieced on.  Not sure what I will try next, LOL..

 

Now I’m ready for bed!!  Gute Nacht and God Bless!
