Yes this gloomy month is brighter in the sewing room because of Angela's decision to make this the yellow month in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Here are my bead blocks:

My Scrap Snap blocks as yet look like this:

There are 3 joined pairs of squares on the right; they are the only leaders and enders I've made this week because I've been doing reverse appliqué in row 10 of the Sugaridoo Bernina QAL (the link is to row 12, but there are links there to all the rows):
I made block 12 of the Hemisphere QAL at Quilting with Sheila

| Not much yellow here I'm afraid! |
I also spent some evenings embroidering motifs for the Christmas table runner SAL, run by Jacquelynne Steves.

| Ah, more yellow! |
The motifs all measure 4x4", too small for my embroidery ring, but the star puckered. I scoured the Internet for a 10cm (4") ring, and "scoured" is the word as most handwork suppliers had nothing smaller than 15cm (6"). I'm pleased the chosen supplier could deliver only 48 hours later. The wreath isn't puckered, just creased from the ring. I shan't be making any of the blocks until I've finished the 4 embroidered panels.
I shall link this round-up of this week's sewing to:
Keep safe and healthy
Happy sewing
