FnwFs for October.

Always great to join Cheryll  for FNwFs as I seem to get myself organised to spend time in the Cave.

Before starting any sewing my machine needed to be cleaned and serviced.

Then onto a UFO I found while cleaning up the cupboard.

There wasn’t much to be done just finish the quilting and add borders 

So happy to have this done as it was gifted to me by my SIL for my 70th birthday and that was many years ago. 

Later I finally finished this block for La Passacaglia and glued some pieces for the next block.

After dinner I sat and stitched some leaves on my Temperature Tree. 

Thanks Cheryll  for keeping our FnwF going.. You can visit others HERE  to see what they made.

Must away now and tidy the Cave.

Happy Stitching 

Hugs. Maria.💕

Busy !

I’ve been busy working on many projects over this month. Working on and finishing #3 Chookshed Challenge. ✅ 

Making heaps of flying geese blocks for a border on the Down Under Quilt , ✅ 

Went through my blues to mend hubby’s Aussie Flag quilt. ✅ 

Then turned an old quilt into a cover for our big generator. Done ✅ 

I got out my bag of left over bindings as I decided to use them for my Wonderers Wife . As it is a real scrappy quilt thought  a scrappy binding to be perfect.

Happy with the finish ✅ 

And now I’ve started another squirrel 🐿️ project…  hope to finish soon and show . I will also be working on the Down Under Quilt and the last project for Chookshed Challenge #1 . Quilt hubby’s quilt.

Thank you for visiting and reading my long post.

Must away now and make a cuppa.

Happy stitching 

Hugs. Maria 💖

FNSI and Chookshed Challenge Finish.

Yesterday I had a lovely day out in Geraldton with my friend Karen. First we did some shopping , had a cuppa and then off to the movies to see Downtown Abbey the Final. 

After getting dinner it was time to sit and stitch joining Wendy for FNSI 

And I worked on my Temperature Tree.

During the week I put together #3 Chookshed Challenge.

Thanks Deana for organising the challenge.

There is only #1 to go and for me that’s a quilt for hubby to use on his recliner….

Must away and make a couple of bindings for quilts I dropped off at the longarm quilter this morning.

Have a great weekend 

Hugs Maria 💖

In the evening I sat and cross stitched the leaves on my Temperature Tree .

You can see what others worked on HERE

Happy stitching 🧵

August Catch Up Post…

So good to able to post a completed Block #2 of the  “ Sunshine and Lollipop “ BOM which was my #7 Chookshed Challenge just in time …

I wonder what No Deana will draw for September…. I do like this challenge as it keeps me motivated. Thank you Deana…

Finally sandwiched and pinned the baby quilt and did simple serpentine stitching to quilt it.

.

I popped the roll of binding on the spool holder on the machine and it was so much easier to sew on the binding…

So good to have it finished….

Time now to catch up on my Temperature Tree….

Must away and pop on the kettle for a cuppa before I start to stitch….

Happy Stitching,

Hugs. Maria 💕

Must away and do some mowing.

Happy Stitching,

Catching up…….

Over the past two weeks I’ve been catching up with my sewing 

First I made the RSC. Blocks and for this month Angela chose Aqua.

       

      

       

       Next finish July Aussie Hero blocks 

       and get the August ones made as well

I also got the binding made for the Baby Charm Pack quilt. Just need to now sandwich, pin and quilt it.

In the evenings I’ve been doing the stitching on my #7 Chookshed Challenge

And I really enjoyed listening to Tina Turner’s audio biography while sewing….

Hope all are keeping well and finding time to stitch,

Hugs.  Maria 💖
