Scraptastic Tuesday - February link up



[Giveaway post still going here!]



Here we are in February already!

I am definitely feeling the need of a bit of sunshine - can you tell?


While trying to finish two things that needed finishing I started two new totally unplanned things !  What is that all about?  

Well I did have a cute wee applecore acrylic template and still have lots of Karen's blueberry park scraps so the two sort of went together....  Love those colours - they could even be my favourites!  And I'll be hand piecing them together as they are just too fiddly to machine stitch - I did try a couple but didn't really enjoy it.  




I'm stitching them into rows and then joining the rows.  All hand stitching now and that is so much more relaxing.




Just what I needed to brighten my day!

This will be no bigger than a cushion cover I think - unless I go completely mad and decide it should be a quilt...?

Well it is time to show Leanne and I what scrappiness you have been up to....

      3. you made me remember I have a applecore piece started, it is not very large - about the size of a placemat, I need to quilt it and use it for something.

      4. I have always loved apple cores but have never tried them. Yours look very small, a cushion size should be plenty I expect, but those fabrics and colours look pretty sweet.

      6. I have a couple of hand stitching projects I want to try but first I need to get a little better at hand stitching.

        I could use some sunshine and warm weather here too.
