Four Patch Fun Wednesday

Rise and Shine, Sunshine! Another beautiful day is calling your name! 

Do you have any grand plans on the agenda today? I would say that it is a perfect day for you to do something special . Wouldn't you?  ❤  Me? Hmmm- Well , I am going to go visit my family and then I am going to hunker down to my sewing machine.

Monday was just too darn cold for me to venture out so I worked on more of Bonnie Hunter's 2025 Leader/ Ender project called Four Patch Fun. 

I am piecing my blocks using 2 1/2" units. (unfinished)

You would be so  proud of me . I only screamed "Oh fudge! " once, (yep, I have been watching The Christmas Story)  that is when I had to pull out the GDR aka "Gosh Darn Ripper" . I had placed my four patches in the wrong arrangement in the red block but I soon wrangled those squares in place, and then I was whistling "Zippety Dooh Dah" !  I do need to clean the loose threads from the block though. 

This Four Patch Fun block had to be taken apart, but here it is all fixed. Wheww! 

So far I have 11 blocks pieced . More fabric strips are cut for piecing. 

Later this evening, I will work on the November  Mini Sampler from  From the Heart Needleart, a darling gift from dear Donna. Thank you , Donna. 🤗

And hopefully by tonight's  end I will finish a new house cross stitch which will be making its way to a post very soon. 

A few of my tins . 

Well those are my grand plans. We shall see if they come to fruition. My fingers and toes are crossed. Hee! Hee! 

 May your day be filled with loads of fun and Stitchy plans. 

 As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
