It’s Good To Be Sewing Again!

Things have been a little crazy around here lately.  Jenny Janome and I have been sep­ar­ated for the last couple of weeks but were reunited over the week­end.   Yay!   There is just some­thing about the hum of the sew­ing machine that I find sooth­ing and relax­ing, I def­in­itely missed it and was grate­ful to have a pro­ject ready to start on the weekend.

My lovely friend Sam­antha Olsen and a couple of oth­er com­pletely fab­ulous Ins­tagram peeps (Holly & Den­ise) had recently organ­ised a sew-along for one of Cam­ille Roskel­ley’s latest pat­terns, the Lol­lie Quilt.  It’s the sweetest little quilt and just per­fect for a quick and easy pro­ject to get me sew­ing again.

Rather than use a lay­er cake I took a dive into my new fab­ric scrap stor­age sys­tem and man­aged to pull out all but the pink with red spots in the middle of the pic­ture.    It looks happy and fun don’t you think?  I’m hop­ing that theme will carry through when the blocks come togeth­er into the quilt top.

I do enjoy sew­ing teeny pieces but am usu­ally pretty messy when I sew.   Believe me when I say that it was a small mir­acle I man­aged to keep this stack of star points neat and tidy so I could get a pic­ture.   If you fol­low me on Ins­tagram you’ll have seen that I’ve always wanted to do a ‘stack’ photo, I’m not sure it’s the best stack in the world but I’m happy I was finally able to do one -:)

I’ve man­aged to start sew­ing the blocks togeth­er today and tonight, I’m hop­ing to fin­ish most of the top off.   Wish me luck!

  1. Alright, I have a big long list of things I need to be doing, so will you please stop post­ing pic­tures that make me want to drop everything and join anoth­er bloody quilt along. Man, this looks like a lot of fun and I really feel like piecing some­thing tonight.
    Love your stack, darl, enjoy your reunion with Jenny x

  2. Very cute indeed, I’d missed the Lol­lies quilt — I do have my eye on a mini Tulip from Cam­ille’s new pat­terns. Great stack pic — I don’t think I’ve ever taken one. And great that you have mostly sewn from your scraps bins! x

  3. Lov­ing the stack photo! It’s a bit like the quilt on a chair shot that all quilters must take at least once!! This is a gor­geous fab­ric pull — such a fun pat­tern so per­fect selec­tion. I’m pleased you are sew­ing again — send­ing you the warmest of hugs today xx

    1. Thanks Keera and abso­lutely about the quilts on chairs photo! I’ve done one of those but they always look so lovely its def­in­itely a ‘do again’ on my list. Thanks for the hugs and the fab­ric love -:)

  4. Awe­some fab­ric for your lol­lies Peta! That’s exactly what you see when you dive your hand in that bag of mixed lol­lies. How per­fect. And so glad you’re back sew­ing again. xx

  5. Love the feel­ing of doing what you are good at (sew­ing). No replace­ment for this I guess.

    Good pic by the way. Even I would like to try doing it once. Happy Sew­ing Peta.
