My Sewing for June

When we returned from our holiday I was itching to get back into my sewing room.  To help along the way I set my One Monthly Goal to be completing eight Splendid Sampler Blocks.  I also wanted to get my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks completed and complete a project for One Project a Month.

Well, I didn't get back into my sewing room until last week.  We ended up doing lots of other things, which I will get around to sharing soon, but sewing just didn't happen.

So what did I get done?

The RSC colour this month was dark blue.  It didn't take me long to get my three blocks completed.  No, they weren't worked as leader and ender blocks, but that doesn't matter.  At least they are done.

On Friday I decided which SS2 blocks I would work on and pulled fabric.  My aim was to work solely on Foundation Paper Piecing blocks, as once I get the method embedded in my brain (which takes a bit) I can get on a roll.

I thought I would have all weekend to work on them, but in the end I only had today.  So it was head down, butt up and get stitching.

I'm very pleased to say that I met my One Monthly Goal and have eight completed blocks.  I had initially thought of making my goal either 10 or 12 blocks.  Believe me, I super glad it was only eight, or I would have failed.

Sadly, I don't have a finish for the month, so nothing to report for OPAM.  I was so hoping to have something to add each month.  I'll try to make it up next month.

I had taken my sewing machine to have a long overdue spa treatment before I went away.  It was the perfect opportunity while we were away.  There was nothing wrong with it, but I must say, it is running a bit quieter and seems smoother.  He also changed the light bulb over to an LED one. Very happy.  

I' now going to link up with OMG and RSC and then head off to bed.
