Went to blog about my cushion finish this lunchtime to find I never blogged about January last week.
January was a tough month - I was ill for a lot of it, work was very busy - January is always the toughest month but this was particularly tough, Nick went away with work, there was lots going on with theatre and Guiding stuff and consequently my crafting productivity wasn't that great.
It started well - the centre of my Leeds MQG Round Robin Rainbow nested stars, the first thing sewn on my new machine.
I then attempted to finish my Aragon bag - it's finished but the finish is bag so it needs to be unpicked and the lining put in properly rather than just attached to the panels - when I have the time and inclination.
At the Leeds MQG meeting I finished off a cushion from my FAL list which I've just blogged about here
I've also been making progress on my Simply Solids Wonky Stars Quilt - not quite as much as I'd hoped but it should be done this month (the picture was from the start of the month when I was playing with layout)
I had my first play with foundation paper piecing making the borders for round 1 of the Leeds MQG Round Robin I was inspired by Kelly from Jeliquilts exactly what I've done is a secret though.
I did a fair bit of crochet in the second half of January - after a long days at work flopping on the sofa worked well for me. I made a square for Heather @ ThePatchworkHeart's 1st Community Crochet Project and I started my Dedri @ Look At What I Made's Sophie's Universe CAL - the bottom right photo shows the first 3 parts. I'm going to try hard to keep up with this each week - there are 18 parts in total.
I thought I hadn't done too much but actually that's not bad. I've taken Friday off as a flexi day this week as I worked so many hours in January so I can hopefully get cracking with some quilting on my new machine.
