Hanging up our Smalls

 Another productive day in MiniQuiltVille: it's been a day for smalls - here's what we've been doing.

HH has been improv-ing on charm squares and mini charms, and I have been paper piecing as is my wont! Patterns for each of these mini quilt projects will be hitting the web soon. If you haven't already done so, sign up to our joint newsletter: Modern Art Quilters, to find out when. CLICK HERE to view past issues (lots of inspiration, ideas and patterns) and sign-up.

Still heading home in daylight since there's a lot of snow and ice on the roads which gave me the chance to make more of these miniature blocks while the other half was on Zoom with his Scouts.

These will finish to 1.5 inches each and I can only make a few at a time before I start to go cross-eyed and have to do something else for a bit so this one is growing slowly but I am loving it. Only another four to go.

Further Adventures

 Well, after a slightly hair-raising trip to the Post Office, we got together at lunchtime again for further minis-and-miniatures

I've been sorting blocks for a pattern - these will be table mats to go with a table runner, in assorted colours - my little Tigers, trimmed and ready to sew together...

And this is an almost - finished sample for a new pattern - this is "French Hen"

I took photos for the pattern at every stage so it took most of the afternoon, but I'm really happy with this

Shown here with the table-mat flimsies, later layered and I have quilted some, ready to bind tomorrow. The Table runner set will be a new pattern and a video quite soon...

All day working on  one of my nice 99s, they are so quiet and easy to use and don't get in the way of conversation. And this one will be really ready to go to a new home when I'm done with it this week

HB is working on true minature blocks - see how tiny the strips are, and one star...

More tomorrow
