March was busy and exhausting. I saw friends and family over several weekends but my health is continuing to be problematic. So
1. Jumper – No change
2. Large mixed media embroidery – No change
3. Mandolin quilt – I’ve turned the 20 mandolins and 30 edge pieces into 20 mandolins sections. I’m now working on pairing them up before creating bigger sections
4. A cherish quilt – a couple more seams joined and some basting was done
5. Beaded Snowdrops – No change
6. Focus cutting sewalong – I am still on track
7. Beaded bottle – I’ve finally started a new one
Things I finished in March include the knitted flowers for the community postbox topper, the Christmas tree topper and two beading projects.
One was a little peyote fox pattern wrapped around a wooden bobbin. This was a beading group project and a cute quick make. The other was a bead embroidery star ornament. I’ve seen something very similar on Instagram and been considering making one for a long time. I put together a bead selection before Christmas and found a star template in January. I then did the beading across two days and sewed it up the following day.
I have some time off in April, so I reckon I might get a few things finished and started.
