Work in progress. The ladies at my J-club want to try ITH quilt blocks but most are limited to 140mm x 200mm hoops. So, I've been fiddling with the blocks that I digitised for my "bodger's dream" quilt. They were 230mm square and I thought they might be too fiddly if I made them 140mm square. Well, I was wrong! If anything they look better. Apart from the one which had manky edges - I used a pincushion outline on that one rather than throw it in the bin!

These are so nice, Sue!! The ladies will love them!

Great work Sue, love them all!

I love these and the colors you have used. Wish there was something for a smaller hoop

I don't believe you've never tried! They are so much fun and quite addictive so be careful...

Sue, your quilt blocks are beautiful! Love the colors. I know the ladies in your J-Club will have a great time stitching these blocks.

That is so nice. The ladies will love doing them.

OH I just love these blocks there so great.

The smaller size makes the fabric pop out so you see the design. I'm definitely a bodger. Sue, your talent is sew awesome!

I inherited quite a lot of fabric from my Aunt Jeanne, bless her for love and kindness. I'll enjoy trying ITH quilt blocks and pass them onto my cousin. He will enjoy the memories too. Thanks for the inspiration!

verry nice work :-)) hugs Maria

Sue, having no idea what the term bodger means I went to check, This is what I found-


An unorthodox hobbyist or artist whose body of work has been hobbled together from garbage or materials used in ways that deviate from their intended pupose


This made me laugh-


You can commonly find bodgers in their natural habitat: hardware stores, dumpsters, and junkyards.


I would add fabric stores too, I think I have a bit of bodger in me
Also Anyone who creates objects from a mishmash of found or improvised materials

That is my definition too. Welcome to the club!
Actually, here in England it also means a traditional chair maker which seams to be the opposite!

Love your blocks especially the cushion

Your group will be so happy to have these designs! It will be great to see all colour combinations they come up with.
