Day 1 and class show and tell

Thank you all so much for your enthusiastic response to our “1 hour a day” project!

Just to clarify a few things

:: you can use your time for any crafting project; knitting, sewing, quilting, whatever you want
:: the “1 hour” is a minimum! You can stitch/knit/sew to your heart’s content, all day if you choose, or until your fingers wear out!
:: this is not a competition; it’s a challenge with yourself to get a minimum of an hour’s work done on whatever project/s you choose

So, how did you go on day 1? I had a busy day (hence the post today), but in the late evening I did manage a couple of hours and not only finished MyDearFIL’s socks (yay! One tick on my FAL Q3 list), but I started on another pair for myself (another on the FAL Q3 list).

Let us all know in the comments how your Day 1 went………

I almost forgot to show you class events from last week!

Morning

Jo’s quilt is back from quilting

she’s been busy making blocks

and in class Jo started on the centre of her “Briar Hill” quilt

Helen has been bitten by the sock bug

and in class she’s designing a new woolly bits wall hanging

Marilyn stitched her little fingers off in class and put two hexie rows together

Beth cut out more blocks for her new quilt

Leanne worked on the borders for the corner blocks

Karen learnt another new stitch (I think wheat sheaf?)

Sue E’s box of pentagon flowers continues to grow

and Sue W was making her quilted piece into a pillow with a cross over back.

Afternoon

Helen has most of her friendship star blocks made

and she found some new fabrics to go in with her hexies from the new range in the store of “Day in the Country” fillers – they’re fab!!

Frances made another block

Ann’s first block is almost together, and another is almost cut out

Tineke was making her pentagon flowers and got to appliqué one down too.

Lyn stayed all day and made binding

and with some judicious cutting of fabric, and with two seams left to do, almost finished the top of a table runner.
