The week that Was.........

Last Saturday one of our bobbing ladies had a birthday and we went to the "Green Beanie"  ( a vintage caravan done up as a coffee van ) after our dip for a cuppa and cake...

 

Helen was the birthday girl, lady centre in blue with no hat...
and Merle baked the cake , front left , showing lots of leg....


I worked all week on "Sunday Stitchers" No 10 challenge .....









                




  Lots of quilting and the grey background was weird stretchy fabric... 

but I had fun and I was pleased I got the quilt finished even though I did this..




                                                                        










Used a metal skewer as a tool and it slipped and went through the top of my thumb.....thankfully it looks worse than it was and has healed quickly and I got no blood on the quilt,










Thank you ladies for letting me join in your UFO challenge as it's kept me motivated . Hope I can keep it up !!!!





Last Sunday a new No was drawn for "Sunday Stitchers".....   No 8 

On list list it's my " Pinata" Blocks......

    
Wonder how many I can get done ???????

Over the Christmas/ New Year break I took home some homework for " Days For Girls " 

 
and have managed to work on these shields.....


Hopefully I can complete them before our first meeting on first Tuesday in Feb.......

Must away as the washing machine is calling......

Happy Stitching 
Hugz Maria  😄

    I had to smile when I read about your skewer accident: "no blood on the quilt"! Well, that is lucky indeed. I hope the finger heals well.

    OUCH!!! That sounds like something I would do. Glad to read that it wasn't as bad as it looks.

    Your birthday celebration looks like such fun. Parties like that make getting older worth it.

    LOVE your quilty finish. That is super cute. The Pinata quilt is on my bucket list. I loved it the first time you showed it. It would make a great leader/ender project.

    The Green Beanie - what a great name. I love your finished quilt - is it Forest Friends, or a name something like that? And an Oh Dear from me for your wound, looks nasty. Pleased to read that you say it's not as bad as it looks.

    Good to hear your thumb is on the mend, that would have hurt!! Your quilting looks wonderful despite the strange stretchy fabric. Lovely outing with your friends. Good luck with the next challenge on the list.
