I didn't get as much stitching done as I had hoped.
Block 2 of Jenny's Vintage Kitchen is now done.
I basted a couple more hexagons and
then joined three together.
What took my time?
I came across this little project in the drawer.
These blocks were made many years ago.
They are part of a mini Vintage Sampler quilt.
I have decided I am never going to make the other five blocks so I'm going to make a mini with these four.
So where were the fabrics I knew I had kept away from my stash so they wouldn't be used? I spent ages searching the sewing room, the four boxes of fabrics under our bed
and everywhere else I could think of.
and everywhere else I could think of.
I woke up this morning and remembered they were in this tin. So I searched a bit more and found the tin.
Yay! Here they are! Now to work out what I'm going to do.
Thanks to Cheryll for hosting us last night.
Here is the link to see what others stitched last night
The tin also matches your vintage fabrics and designs. Love the embroidery.

Gorgeous projects Christine, that special tin is a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteGrin, you were busy crafting even if you didn't get so much done! Funny how our brain works overnight, isn't it?! Jenny's blocks are gorgeous! And your vintage mini blocks also very sweet... they will make a lovely little quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. It is always in the last place you look.
ReplyDeleteThe mini will be pretty when completed I had the same problem when I was searching for some fabric the other day took awhile for me to figure out where I had put it when I cleaned up my stash regards Ofaigh
ReplyDeleteYour stitcheries are lovely Christine, your mini quilt will be cute too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun evening........ and in the meantime you won in my giveaway - I couldn't get the email to work so please contact me with your details xo
ReplyDeleteGood old tin, Christine! Gotta love one that carries something so pretty... seems lots of us are pulling out or coming across old projects lately!
ReplyDeleteLovely little stitcheries and I love the idea of turning your little blocks into a mini. Good thing you remembered about the lovely tin with all the fabrics tucked away safely inside.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found where they were. They are so sweet. Love your purple hexies too.
ReplyDeleteLovely work. I have just found the Vintage Kitchen stitchery too, and can't wait to start. I do that all the time - put something away somewhere 'safe'! It is pretty frustrating.
