with little bit and pieces!
Firstly, I decided to get some order into my stash!
I borrowed this book from my library...
And got cutting...
into 2", 3.5" and 5" squares!
There is something satisfying about make order out of scrap!
And I have started a new secret project.....
Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIPS Wednesday!
but I have only got to the cutting stage with this!
I have managed a little sewing...
Here are some of my favourite Farmer's Wife blocks together....
And the hand quilting on my Modern Sampler Christmas Runner! ooops!
Happy days...
