Hen Party Update 3

All ten Hen Party blocks are fused.

That was the easy and fun part.

Block 10:

The next part of the process will be to stitch the applique to the background.

That may take a while.

Since it is summer, and the great outdoors beckons. Are you in your sewing studio or outdoors? I know some of you can take your sewing machines out to sew on your deck. I love that!

I don’t dare. Just the other day, I was minding my own business…enjoying a book on the chaise under the oak tree, when it happened. Plop! Yup. A little birdie pooped on me!

I expect that is more than you wanted to know.

Anyway…too many little birdies around for me to take my sewing project out there.

I do, however, still take my books out to enjoy an afternoon of reading.

All ten blocks:

Ignore those other blocks on the design wall. They have nothing to do with the hens.

  1. It will be such a fun quilt! A little of both for me. More indoors lately because of smoke from the Canadian fires.

    • We get blanketed every year with wildfire smoke. So far, we had just one day. I sure would love it if smoke were not a normal summer occurrence…like in the good ole days! 🙂

  2. What fun! I’ve never sewn outdoors either, but not for your reasons. LOL!

    Great use of an unusual shaped wall–design wall! I haven’t sewed outside. Sounds like too much work to get all the equipment to the deck. It’s a novel idea though!

    • My upstairs has all sorts of unusual shaped walls like that. Watch out, or you will bump your head! I can’t back up to take a straight on better photo or I would fall over the balustrade and down the stairs!
      I agree…one does have to haul a lot outside, or else get a lot of exercise going in and out from the machine to the ironing board. 🙂

  6. Congrats on the last hen in the clutch. I sometimes sew on the porch/screened in. Mostly, I sew in my studio…but I am thinking of getting outside with my cross stitching…we shall see.

  8. Those darn birds 🙂 but we love them all the same! Ready to see the next steps with Hen Party. I am trying to get some crafting done early to mid morning inside and then, well its just way to beautiful to stay in and the gardens call for tending. I do get to bring a few things out to work on though. The light is perfect for cross stitching.

    • I could stop filling the bird baths and feeder, but, nope, I love the little critters too much!
      It sounds like you have a good plan for your summer routine, Sharon! I like to tend the garden in the morning, otherwise, it is too hot for me to be working outside. So the afternoon is for reading or stitching. 🙂
