I've finished my hand pieced green January blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I was going for four blocks each month, but after I'd made four, I just kept going. These are simple to hand sew and only making a few blocks each month is a nice way to jump into a new slow-sewing project.
This past few days, I've found that if I have my pieces all cut and marked, I can sit in the evenings to sew while watching telly or while sitting up in bed, listening to my audiobook. I must look a sight. Headphones on and my neck light thingamajig around my neck.
I'm all ready to pack away the green scrap tub and start a new colour now.
And if anyone is looking for a Neck Light Thingamajig this is the exact one I have and use. Yes, it's pink.
My husband bought it for me last Christmas. I use it for sewing and crochet in bed.
If you have the pieces marked, it's so easy to pick the hand project and stitch. It's actually easier to make the point match than it is with machine stitching. I'm thinking of prepping another project for hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteI really think I need a neck light. I think I will get one ordered.
ReplyDeleteHaving hand work ready to roll makes it easy to pick up during down moments and even works with travel. Yours look great!
Love your green blocks, they are pretty. Maybe i should look at getting one of those neck lights too. :)
ReplyDeletePretty green blocks. Green is my favorite color. The neck light looks very useful and handy. Will have to check that out for sure.
ReplyDeleteLovely green hexies. xx
ReplyDeleteNice bright green blocks. A great hand project
ReplyDeleteYour green blocks look great. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Guess I'll be waiting at least a year. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have such fun scraps! I have the same neck light but mine is blue. Our husbands think alike! Red scraps are up next! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteI have one of those lights - really comes in handy
ReplyDeleteYay for your scraps being so intriguing. The greens look great! And I got a light similar to yours - how ingenious, right?!

I love your green blocks. Your results are perky.
I love that light. I bet it is really helpful for sewing in bed hahahaha
I love the green hexy blocks. It will be a nice bright Anorina style quilt. I've seen that style of light popping up. It must be ideal.
