2016 Free Boms

A little bit of sewing

I managed to spend a bit of time hand sewing over the weekend.
 I made 2 blocks for my Out of the Box project with Dawn and Vicki, 
 and some hexagons for a swap. 

I also looked through my stash and found some fabric to use for a new project I'm starting - Lynette Anderson's Christmas Fun.  I love these cute little Mystery Button Club quilts so it will indeed be fun to stitch.
 I also want to show you my fabulous Op Shop find from last week.  It is almost too beautiful to turn into wool felt and chop up.  But that is its fate - how wonderful are the colours?

  14. Hi Melody,
    Love your stitched blocks and I must say, your rug is gorgeous. Don't know if I'd be able to cut that one up :-)

  15. The blanket is gorgeous - I'm almost tempted to start a save the blanket campaign lol. The colours are so vibrant and happy together.

    Your out of the box blocks are so lovely too - I love seeing your handiwork.
