Friday Finishes

It’s been a week filled with errands, several trips to town, meetings and interviews and not one, but two power outages (the longest being over 8 hours), but I did manage to sew every single day and can even share some projects and even a peek at another almost finish with you.

But first I need to share some news; Quilting Gail is a designer/blogger/Island Batik Ambassador that I really enjoy following (she’s also Canadian 😉). During the IB All Puffed Up Blog Hop Gail shared her project and had a giveaway for over 1 yard of some leftovers/scraps of these amazing fabrics and I WON! You can read about Gail’s project here.

Now I will return to the reason for my post; the Friday Finish!

First up, I have been following along with the PQ Challenge and have managed to find projects for each of them. This week’s challenge was Sew Not a Square. Respecting the No squares allowed prompt, I made a little basket to keep by my machine to put my clips in as I’m working on projects. I’ve found that those little clips get knocked on the floor (and stepped on) or end up under my machine so I needed to corral them 😉

Next on my agenda were some fun blocks which came about because a Guild member gifted me this;

Since my sewing and storage space is tiny, I decided that these needed to be used instead of trying to find a spot to store them. I did add some strips and leftovers from my stash as well as some pieces that were gifted to me by Denise in the treasure boxes she sends. 😃

I do have another finish that I can’t yet share, but can share a sneak peak of the fabrics 😉
