Teal is the RSC25 colour for April?

The stitching is definitely the right colour for April. As for what else may be worked on, a few projects will be pulled out.

A new project will also be started for a birthday gift, teal is the favourite colour for the birthday girl!

Made two tops in one week for myself.

A pink one and the blue one above.

Started the yellow project which was pilled out last month, it has lots of paper foundation piecing. Every piece of paper has two triangles pinned to a piece of paper.

Our weather has been all over the place, snow, ice, hail, thunderstorms with lightning, rain and sunshine. More of the same to come for the next week. The stream has overflown its banks and it is right next to the main road.

Just discovered, Teal is not the colour for April. It was a joke and Red is the colour for April...

Slow stitching.

The rain and freezing rain continues. It is all part of the ice storm currently happening here where we live. So being cooped up even more after a long winter, we are so ready for warmer weather and spring to arrive!

Stitching continues on the Fox and Rabbit 2025 mystery, started late. This is January, part 1 that I am currently working on. One gets to choose one's own colours. Had these floss colours in my floss box and using what I have on hand. Relaxing indoors, a day of rest is on the cards today.

Yummy yellows.

This project is enjoying a come back this year.

RSC25 yellow blocks for March.

This project will be worked on when the colours that has not been used yet, is called for.

Good Hope Quilt Mystery 2025.

The year started off on a mystery, it set the tone for the time being. First was Old Town from Bonnie Hunter. A few smaller projects got worked on after that one, then this one caught my eye. It only needed four fabrics, in my favourite colourway Blue! (goodhopequiltersguild.org.za)

Checked the yardage needed for this mystery, only needed to buy one meter of the dark fabric extra. Everything else could be used from my fabric. The cherry on top of the cake, the winelands in the Cape inspired this mystery! It is a beautiful part of the world and we were blessed to live in Cape Town many years ago.

We are in for some wild weather this coming weekend and had snow this week too, so having a project to work on this weekend will be a welcome distraction.

The last clue and the reveal will happen this friday, have caught up with all the parts.

The winelands is beautiful, with the mountain peaks surrounding all the farms. Harvest time all the leaves turn golden colours, it is a sight to see.

Changing of the season.

Yesterday was the first day of spring, a happy day. Winter has been long and cold. We still have snow packs which needs to melt, planted seeds in pots indoors as well. Starting them indoors to have them ready to plant outdoors once the risk of frost is past. Looking forward to gardening season and warmer weather.

Made the yellow blocks for Ancient Stars for March. All the yellow blocks for the RSC25 is now done.

Finished the mountain blocks for the Good Hope Mystery Blocks for 2025. Pulled it out again, after lots happened and this was just waiting on the cutting table. Have not kept up with the clues, working at my own pace when time allows for it. Manage to get two more parts done.

This and that, it’s a thing.

Some stitching happened and it is growing, using floss from my stash.

A quarter of January is done!

While waiting at an appointment, worked on some EPP. It has some yellow in it.

Have also been cutting all the papers for the foundation piecing for Good Golly.

Spring is here!

Yellow is the colour for March.

Do cheddar count as yellow too? A new project which has been cut and prepped a few years ago, waiting to be started is on the starting block.

Some more blocks for Ancient stars, will be making a start on those too.

This project just lost steam last year, it got packet away until this year. After unpacking everything in the bag and sorting it, it made me realize just how much was already done and what needs to be done. All doable.

Block bits and pieces got sewn, trimmed and got ready for the next step.

One block became ten blocks, the pile of blocks has grown to 66 Ohio star blocks.

The sawtooth star blocks has grown to 41, still have to make the yellow ones for this month.
