#crumbblocks

Trying to tidy up a bit. This is as far as I've got 🙄,I've managed about one square foot 😂 😂 I'm trying but as I'm organising it's just making more piles 😂 it's like a tube of toothpaste being squeezed in the middle. All the "stuff" has to go somewhere. But where? Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh😫 #overwhelmed #fabric #ufo #halffinishedprojects #ineedsomeorder #modernquilting #crumbblocks #toadstools #pincushion https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9X7g-ndXG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=114pnbup6zpeb

Unexpected bonus sewing time 😁😁😁😁 So glad I messed up the day for training this week (it's NEXT week 😂😂😂😂). I've missed sewing, the feel of the fabric and radio six. They just played C.J. Boland, Sugar Is sweeter , I must admit to dancing round the house. #nevertooldtorave #quilting #sewing #quilter #crumbblocks #bigcrumbs https://www.instagram.com/p/BprnKUmnRYB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d46jsx2gcidv

So after a hyper focused couple of days, which included; precise points, trying to get to grips with 💻 drawing (yeah, that's going to take a while 😂) and doing annoying, yet has to be done paperwork, I blew off some steam with some #crumbblocks this afternoon. I'm loving pink and orange right now!!! #sewingforsanity #selfcompassionatesewing #improvoctober #improvquilting #quilt #quilter #fabric #sewyourstash #noscrapleftbehind #scraps #sewingscraps https://www.instagram.com/p/BojzoE_HmkH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1510897u19cjk

Yep, gone a little overboard on the hand sewing 😂. Knowing when to stop ✋ is key! I've loved enhancing this crazy #crumbblocks #portholes from my workshop with @afullenglish with all different threads, embroidery floss, linen and random old spools that have been lurking in my thread drawer, even metallic (which I managed to do with my sewing machine 😳, never managed that before !!!!!) This is destined to be a #cushioncover for my sofa, feeling like it needs a jolly up with some colour!! #miniquilt #quilt #quilting #sewing #sewingkeepsmesane #selfcompassionatesewing #scrapbusting #noscrapleftbehind #handsewn #handsewing #embroidery #handembroidery #machinequilting #quiltersofinstagram #colour #colourpop #modernquilt

Loving the #porthole tecnique !!! I'm wondering how much longer I can get away with sewing today😜! Should be emptying and repacking the car for the second leg of summer holiday. Out with the shorts and flip flops in with the raincoats and jeans!!!! ...........just another half hour........😜 @afullenglish #crumbblocks #portholes #quilting #patchwork #sewing #miniquilt #sewingkeepsmesane #selfcompassionatesewing

Mostly this week I have been fiddling around pottering, and not being terribly focused! But having thought about it I have done quite a few bits and bobs. I made a #bubblepod to keep headphone and charger cables in (in headphones material 😁of course) did some tiny quilting on a piece of printed cloth by @inkymole that a Easter egg came wrapped up in, some #crumbblocks (to use up some scraps), and made some strips into striped fabric. So looking back I have done quite a bit, just not all focused on one thing😂. #quiltersofinstagram #quilt #quilting #machinequilting #domesticmachinequilting #stripefabric #epp #englishpaperpiecing #pottering #makersgonnamake #makeeveryday #sewing #imadethis #ilovetosew #ilovetoquilt #sew❤️ #busyignoringwashingup https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo30_KDHwza/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zw13evrw9vjt

We are home!!! And I have crept away to the sewing machine and embroidery thread to continue with my #portholes and #crumbblocks ! I so enjoyed my class with @afullenglish at the festival of quilts (even though it seems like a looong time ago! 🤔) I've eventually found a use for some textured orange wool I have had for about 15 years 😂. I am also using some vintage Swedish linen embroidery thread that I bought from the festival !!!! I'm a sucker for a pretty box! #crumbblocks #portholes #noscrapleftbehind #workshop #festivalofquilts #festivalofquilts2018 #miniquilt
