Sew Alongs

We are having a lazy Sunday, (apart from Paul who is working the weekend), the kids and I went to church in the morning, had home made bread for lunch, a Nana nap for me, and then a catch up on my favourite blogs.  This week I have completed January's sewing for Melody's Home Sweet Home and I have sewn five blocks for the Farmer's Wife sew along that I am doing with Brynwood Needleworks.  The blocks above are #9 Box, #16 Calico Puzzle, #21 Contrary Wife, #23 Country Farm, and #41 Friendship Star.  Another five to go for this month.  I am enjoying the process of working on one block at a time, thinking about fabrics just for the one block and seeing how the fabrics work together once sewn.  Very satisfying.

  7. Love your FW blocks - your fabrics are lovely. I've been looking at Melody's penny rug too but think I'll have to sit on my hands for that one - having trouble keeping up with everything :-) You've made a beautiful start to yours.
