So sorry for the dead air recently, I seem to have been quite busy (relatively) and I am, of course, a World Class Procrastinator!

We have a started a new year of
TSP's Block Of the Month February's will be released tomorrow ...
with a super easy, quick and simple Block designed to encourage newcomers
and a new
The Sewing Places Occasional Paper Pieced Block of the Month (
egged on Inspired by Mme. Cholet, Supergran and Sandra)
And here are some more ideas to (hopefully) Float your Boats .... which will have lots of lovely participants (and pics)
Stitched/Mixed Media Postcard Swap with an Introductory tut by LeilaMay showing techniques, hints and tips...
This will very much be a mixed media project, textiles, printing, painting, embellishments etc.
on a bi or tri monthly basis (every two or three months)
This would be a swap... sending them to the next participating member on a circular list.
with a different Participant each time choosing the next postcard topic...
Countryside, Seascape, Mythical beast, Flower ????
Project Linus Quilt With an overall theme, colour scheme culminating
with an en masse donation at the FOQ
So a July 31st end date.
Mug Rug Angels A Colour and theme, run over a period of time, (to be decided on)
and donated to TSP peeps (Subscribers only) over the at Lightside
Lets shame those garmenteers into the Darkside!
A TSP Block Swap Choosing a single block, theme or colour scheme ...
much like the very popular Star block Swap of 2015 (where has the time gone?!)
FOQ TSP Darksider Quilt Entry We talked about this late last year but it seems to have fizzled out somewhat ...
Do we still want to do this?
Applique Challenge This could be a BOM....
Or a swap ....
Or both
Mini Quilt Challenge/Swap Again I would suggest on a bi or tri monthly basis
Cushion CompetitionTheme/Colour based with prize
