Having spent a simply marvellous Saturday in London with some of the FQR Kinky Bees (and the odd interloper) and Sunday afternoon trying to persuade the wee man to share his toys with his friends (there were tears and not just from the little people!), I knew I had to buckle down this week to get stuff done. And that I had to put plans hatched in London on hold for a wee while (#sob)...

| AMH linen schoolhouse tunic - can I make it in time for the FQ Retreat? |
First up, I have 4 sets of blocks for the QATWII that I need to get moving as soon as. So my plan is to get them all done this week but to send them on one at a time so as to get the loops moving again. A random choice and Moni's pinwheels and stars set was up first. My block was number 13...
 |
| not quite what was envisioned but it works I think |
I had a plan and, as usual,
breenged in rather than being fully prepared so my block design didn't quite go to plan but the final block looks ok. Here are all the blocks so far...
 |
| lovely and bright set so far |
Not sure whose blocks are up for action tonight....another random choice to be made and hopefully tackled with a little more forward planning #nochance.
Then I realised that I need to get my Modern She Made 3 swap stuff in the mail. I made the cushion yonks ago but needed to finish off the wee mindings to go with it....
 |
| with the cushion and some chocolate (forgot the fat quarter) |
The finished pouch is about 15.5" tall and 11.5" wide and so should hold patterns too. I think I need to make myself one! Onwards and upwards!
*breenging in: Scottish for plunging in recklessly - love it!
I think it's a great block design and I can vouch for how difficult half rectangle triangles are
ReplyDeleteWow, some fab things made there, but are you getting more scottish by the day!?!
ReplyDeleteLove that word! And I can't wait to see your tunic - it's going to be goooorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, never heard that one before! Totally love your blocks there, so sunny and cheery.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, love the orange fabric and that pouch is great. You have reminded me to send mine off - oops! Good luck with the QATW blocks and shame about the tunic, but soon...... XXXXXXX
ReplyDeleteLove the Scottish dialect. Great pouch, do I recognise some Ikea fabric? ( I made a knitting bag for a friend with it)
ReplyDeletepwoar the tunic, the tunic, the tunic.... when you've made yours pleeeeeeease will you make me one??? xxxx
ReplyDeleteI just finished my Schoolhouse tunic (well... I still have to hem it!!) but it was a fun pattern :) Love the fabric you chose for it!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to breeng into that tunic pattern too! The block no. 13 is very attractive and is now bookmarked! Di x
ReplyDeleteMoni's set of blocks look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe block looks great - and that tunic will look amazing when you get to it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the tunic sewn up. I am in need of new tops.
ReplyDeleteLove that phrase - I'll have to adopt it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow - that pouch is gorgeous!
