Yesterday, I managed a little sewing, despite the kids being off this week for half term.
This block is called BrokenWheel and it is the next installment in my block party class on Thursday nights.
I've also been working on a little EPP (English Paper Piecing):
A few leftover charm squares and 1" and 1.25" Sizzix dies meant I could whip up these hexies in an hour or two in front of the telly! Hexies always remind me of our most famous landmark here in N.I. - The Giant's Causeway!
And the cute teddy row markers my daughter made me for Christmas are coming in handy too! Not quite sure what these hexies will eventually morph into, but it will be a sample for my upcoming EPP class.

With the frost and ice I'm not sure it's an early spring, but I am liking the blue skies, I even snuck out at lunchtime today and got some photies! Love your row markers, I use mine all the time!
