Splendid Sampler Challenge - Block 27 - Sewing Machine

Block 27 - Sewing Machine

I have been hand sewing all my blocks, this block was a problem for me. My lovely mum had a piece of fabric that had accessories, that I do use, so I have started a block with them.

Still needs to be sewn down but this is my block. (see I have been working hard)

Fun today completing a project for a July gift giving

After being reminded yesterday that there was a postcard exchange in July, so I thought I would have a go at making a postcard.

I used some of the scraps that I got while visiting my mum, a group of pinks. I even put some yo-yos on it. I think it is cute.

Today was the exchange, so I will publish this. Here is my exchanged postcard. 

Splendid Sampler Challenge - Block 28 - Stitching Fashion

With my new baby iron and combination board (thanks mum) I am all set to start this block.

I think this is the hardest of the paper piecing patterns so far.

Update: 15/7:  OK I can not figure this one out, I give up, for the moment

Block 29 - Scrappy Happy Heart

Paper piecing, I've love it when the pattern is easy to follow. It makes for a very crisp block.

Tiny hexagons, wow. I'm impressed that I achieved them, and very happy with the pattern.

Block 37 - Dashing by Chocolate

I was  working very hard to catch up on the sampler challenge, but the next couple where provig to be a massive challenge to me and I found myself getting disinterested. I Hate That. So ... I started to do the ones I could do.

Dashing by Chocolate looked to be a fun on, so I am continuing, just missing a few in the middle (I will get them done, eventually)

I like this type of pattern. It has dimension and can be made quickly when hand sewing.
