In the pink

This month the RSC challenge is all about pink so in keeping with that pink fabric scraps have been pulled, cut and sew together into a potato chip block.   I did make a small design change in that instead of using all 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" pieces I cut the middle block as a 4 1/2" square just to give the block a focus point.

Pieces were cut and added so that it ended up being 16 1/2" finished and it will take 4 of these to make one of the small charity quilts.   

An all over pink fabric was used to make this small quilt

My quilting group was offered a lot of homespun fabric last year which gave me the  ideal opportunity to take some to use when making library bags for Network Heaven. These were the pink fabrics that were given to Miss M during her stay a couple of weeks ago that she ripped into the required size.   The over locker was busy during the week.   There are 12 bags in various shades of pink in the photo below.      

The cloud formation the other morning cast a pink glow over everything. 

A couple of pink/ish beanies were finished off during the week as well as another started.

3 pink bibs were also made from left over scraps.

Hubs and I celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary during the week.    We did go out for lunch....the venue was disappointing but the food was delicious.    To finish off the day we enjoyed a bottle of bubbles with some nibbles.

A bit more reading matter.

The stack of 12 bowl cosies were finished off last weekend and delivered.  

As a consequence an order for 6 came in from another neighbour who just happen to see them. Fabrics chosen and ready to start the production line again.  

I look forward to seeing what the colour for February is.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
