Catching up.

First I want to post my last Chookshed Challenge #8 …..Thank you so much Deana because of you organising this challenge I have either completed or put together 10 long awaited projects.this year. 👍

Over the past few weeks we’ve made several trips to Perth for hubby’s medical appointments. I was happy we were home the weekend our group had a Stay at Home Retreat.( I really needed that).

Packed ready to go….

As you can see my La Passacaglia is in my project box and I did nearly complete the block while chatting to ladies when I needed a break from the machine.

Was delighted to get these troublesome critters together ( I think I had to do some unpicking on each of them 🥲) but they are done and gifted .

This week I’ve put “ Well Travelled “ together but I think I’ll add borders to make big enough for hubby to use on his recliner ??

Today I’ve been busy getting organised so I have some hand work to play with while in Perth for several weeks.

Okay , after uploading photos many times and trying to make them the right size and where I’d like them I’m giving up. What’s up with blogger.?????

Happy Stitching 

Hugs Maria 💖

 

 

FNSI for October

I’ll do a post for FNSI and later in the week must do a catch up one.

Last night I worked on hubby’s quilt “ Well Travelled” 

And completed Laundry Basket Birthday blocks 

41 and 42

Here are blocks 39 and 40 I did earlier….

Thank you Wendy for another great FNSI.

Must away now and do some outside work while it’s a lovely sunny day.

Happy Stitchings

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

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 

Hugs. Maria 🌷

 

#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 💕
