Just Sew Sue said...

Happy birthday month. I have just got some of the Ikea print via my parent's recent trip to Southampton for a cruise. Half of it is now outside in a bucket being dyed red. The reason it's outside, is to prevent someone knocking the bucket over.

I use small bits for foundation piecing. I've just finished a Basketweave star block which was a pleasing use of scraps.
