Today's sewing was for Ms February - aka Emily. Emily requested the ever popular +&x blocks. The hardest bit of doing this block was deciding on the fabrics. There was some major procrastination going on. I hope Emily likes what I decided on because they're all packaged up ready to go.
After asking my fellow Stingy Bees to make me a block with part of it white background I've discovered that since making the feather for Lucy I have no white fabric, so can't do my own blocks until I go shopping. Before you think that's the most feeble excuse for wanting to fabric shop, I'll have you know that I've been sticking to my self imposed fabric diet like a good-un. In four months I think I've only bought fabric twice. Even then it was not a lot of fabric either.
This morning, so I could clear my day for stuff like sewing, I ventured to the supermarket early. As I pulled up next to the river I spotted a Kingfisher sat on a low willow branch. Now that has to be a good start to a weekend? I hope you are all having good weekends too!

Yay, well done! I don't know about you, but I always feel like buying white is a complete let down on the fabric buying front, like I have to buy something else just to make up for the plainness of it. I buy my white in 5 metre increments to save myself too much extra guilt buying ;o)
Good starts to the weekend and sewing - good to hear!
I think you made great fabric choices and Emily will be very happy.
Oh I like those +/- blocks. I think I might ask for them for a bee I'm in. Pray tell where can one find a tutorial for the block?
I love your fabric choices! I hope you add something colourful to your white order, just to cheer up the envelope, you understand!
You are definitely getting back into that sewing groove.

If I am getting blocks like that I am more than happy to wait, they are lovely! Thanks Jan :-)
Yay, and necessary fabric shopping does not count!
Saw a Woodpecker when we were last at my parent's and thought of you xxx
pretty blocks! I now feel bad for making you buy fabric - sorry! x
Beautiful blocks J! Great to see you've got some sewing mojo back! Long may it continue! Jxo
I think Emily will love those blocks. It's ages since we've seen a kingfisher.
I have never seen a Kingfisher except on TV and I don't think that counts! Maddie seems keen to keep pigeons and crows out of the garden!
Great choices there Jan - Emily seems pleased and the best thing is you are hopefully enjoying a bit of stitching again!
Good luck with that shopping!
