Catching up.....

First I'd like to show you the beautiful gifts that arrived in the post last Friday from my dear friend Sunny, who sadly doesn't blog anymore.....
This is a gorgeous cross stitched wall hanging in my favorite colours. The sails are all different quilting blocks and it has a lovely saying stitch on it..... Love it and it has joined other minis made by many different friends on the wall in the "Cave"












Sunny also included two handmade cards and a cute Snowman ornie...


Now I need to list my UFO projects for " Sunday Stitchers Challenge " and also with Cheryll for the WOOFA challenge .......



No 1 ....... Jelly Roll Waves baby quilt... Needs borders and then pinned, sandwiched and quilted













No 2....... Charm Square Blocks baby quilt.... needs borders ,pinned ,sandwiched and quilted..

No 5...." Gnome Needle" case by Lynette Anderson.....










Nos 6-10 . Lynette Anderson's BOM     " Andrespn's Farm"
by doing two each month I hope to get it done this year as it lingered in my cupboard for a longggg time...












No 11 ...... "Twelve Days of Christmas" by Hatched and Patched.






and lastly No 12 ..... A Brutus " designed by Red Brolly" block left over from a quilt I made and decided to make it into a mini...

Just needs to be sandwiched, pinned and quilted...

By having these lovely folk organise these challenges I hope to get some finishes again by the end of the year.... HUGE thanks ladies........

Must away and do some shopping, have visitors coming for the long weekend....

Happy Stitching and keep safe...

Hugs  Maria ❤

    Really pretty cross stitch from Sunny--she always does wonderful work on her gifts to us--and yes I too miss her blog!!
    you sure have some nice ufo's on your list of 12--will be fun watching for results as you work on them--
    and a question for you--what size does your 'girl' block come to???
    I thought the one that I downloaded was a bit large for what I wanted--so have redone it to be a 6.5" square block--but haven't actually made one up yet--that is on the list for Saturday!!!!
    have an awesome day--luv, di

    That cross stitch is adorable. Please ask your frien for the name of the design. Like you, I adore blue.
    You have a lot going on and so much planned. Have fun with it.

    Such a gorgeous gift off Sunny - I love the different quilt blocks being used! Good luck with all your UFOs. Challenges seem to be a good incentive to get UFOs moving that don't have a definitive deadline x
