Virtually no sewing here this week.
But managed to make a 49 patch square with my 1.5” red squares. Not enough of them left to make a second one.
Made a Ticky Tacky house with a red roof.
And re-sewed two Strippy blocks which I discovered hadn’t been sewn well when I made up my last Strippy quilt. Trimmed down to 4.5” blocks for my Parts Department.
My birthday yesterday and I had a lovely day. Lots of cards, gifts, email messages and Jacquie Lawson electronic cards, phone calls and a couple of friends popped over for quick chats on the doorstep. In the evening my husband and I walked round to our daughter for an Indian takeaway meal. And Birthday Hugs! We had our first hugs from them last Sunday - the first ones for 14 months due to Covid restrictions.
Linking up with Angela’s RSC 2021 on her So scrappy blog
Happy birthday! So glad you were finally able to exchange hugs with family. Lots of great reds in that 49 piece block!

Happy birthday!! Glad you found some time to do a little RED sewing for the RSC this week. Even happier that you were able to visit your family for something more than virtual hugs to celebrate!!
