FnwFs for October…..

Really , October already . Time to join Cheryll for FnwFs…. It’s always a good time to catch up on my monthly blocks so I got the ones for Aussie Hero's cut out, 

But I got side tracked and played with the baby quilt I’m making. 

Can you see what I did wrong on this bunny??

Poor bunny , I put his month and nose the wrong way so after some unpicking and re- sewing all done….

On to another block and I mucked up again…..This time the poor Owl was made cross eyed….

More unpicking and putting the Owl together and I’ve given up for the night. 

Hope others had more success with what they worked on for FnwFs. Thank you Cheryll for organising us….

Happy Stitching 

Hugs.  Maria 💖

No 7 Challenge

As the month is nearing an end it’s time to post my #7 challenge. It’s a huge thanks to Deana that this project come out of the cupboard after 6 years and is actually put together , sandwiched and pinned and put into the quilting pile.

Of course we know what our next challenge No will be as it’s the last one. Mine is a Christmas Stitchery

that needs finishing so I’ll swap my LaLa project to stitch it in the evenings.

And I’m also starting a baby quilt for a friend.

Happy Stitching everyone,

Hugs.  Maria 💖

FNSI for Sept.

The weeks are flying by and before we know it’s the third week of September and time to join Wendy for FNSI. It’s so good to join in and work on my projects. 

Last night I caught up with my Laundry Baskets Birthday blocks, 

No 37 and 38. The bottom one still needs a press so it doesn’t look so wonky.

Must away now and see what others worked on for FNSI

Happy Stitching ,

Hugs. Maria 💖🌷💖

FnwFs for Sept.

Last Friday I joined Cheryll for FnwFs and managed to make the Laundry Basket birthday blocks Nos 35 and 36….

When taking the photo I realised I hadn’t posted blocks 33 and 34. 

I’m all caught up now till Tuesday.

I also did some work on my #7 Chookshed Challenge.

Must away and get ready to watch The Block….

Happy Stitching

#7 Chookshed Challenge and FnwFs

This month it’s #7 which for me is a gift I received for my 70th birthday… I had made a start and then it was put away and hadn’t been touched again.

 

This is where I got up to so I’ll be happy to make some progress on this long awaited UFO. 

As it’s the first Friday of the month this week I’ll be signing up with Cheryll for FnwFs and hope to get more of #7 done.

Must away and pop on the kettle now.

Happy Stitching 🧵 

Hugs. Maria 💕

 

I made it

After two trips to the big smoke this month and many set backs with my #3 Chookshed Challenge 

Like sewing blocks the wrong way . Not once but many times . So spent lots of time unpicking . 

And then when I was nearly done today I run out of bobbin close to the end.

 But I surprised myself and  got the top together which was my goal for this month and I was very happy to join a friend and even sandwiched and pinned it this evening ready to quilt. 

Thank you so much Deana for keeping us on track with the challenge . 

Must away and find my #7 in my cupboard 

Happy Stitching. Hugs  Maria  🌷

FNSI + SNSI

As the third Friday came around again so quickly I joined Wendy for FNSI.  I had an early start in the afternoon sitting on our patio hand sewing some more of La Passacaglia.

   

And in the evening I worked “ Sunshine and Lollipops “ a BOM by Anni Down and did my #3 Chookshed Challenge as a leader and ender .

Then yesterday as it was a very wet day I keep sewing and got the first part of “Sunshine and Lollipops” together.

One down three to go! 

Must away and put the kettle on..

Happy Stitching,

Hugs. Maria 🌷
