WOOFA Progress and OPAM Finishes

 

As it's the end of another month it's time to join Cheryll  and post my progress on my WOOFA  project "Urban Owls"  Also Kris  for my OPAM finishes this month... Thank you ladies for keeping us on track each month.

I have added the felt flowers on the Ohio Blocks 

   

and on House 1 also the bird and have completed House 2

The next block is foundation pieced which I find challenging.   Will go along to Patch tomorrow to get some help  from our 92 yr old member who is amazing and will show me how to do it.

This month I've only had a few finishes even though I've been in the Cave a lot. Spent most of my time putting " Trail Mix "  together  and now it's under the machine to quilt......

sew my only finishes are 

  

and 30 Shields for "Days for Girls "

Look forward to seeing what all the others have worked on this month....

Must away as the sun is shining and I'm going to enjoy doing some mowing on the ride-on...

Happy Stitching and stay well.

Hugs  Maria  ❤

 

Friday Night Sew In for Aug 2020

 REALLY  the third Friday of Aug already ?????  Where oh where have the days gone but one nice thing is it's time to sit and stitch with the lovely Wendy for FNSI . 

First I sewed the backing for the Trail Mix together and then I decided to start on my next scrappy project " Fabric Fusion"...

I've cut and saved the blocks for a longgggg time and as you can see counted as I went along until I finally had all the bits required...

First I cut the 1" strips ready to sew onto the 2" X 3 1/2" pieces 

after pressing I  pinned the 5 1/2" X 3 1/2" together ready to sew.

Then it was time to make a cuppa and get some hand sewing out as one of my favorite movies was on "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"

I sat and stitched one of the free Christmas blocks from " Love and Hugs " on Facebook.

Thank you Wendy  for another lovely evening of sewing along with your and the ladies...

 

Must away and get ready to have lunch with my friend in town.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe weekend.

Hugs  Maria ❤

 

YES its done !!!!!!!

 After our fabulous Zoom GTG organised by birthday girl Chooky last Saturday I got stuck into making "Trail Mix"......

Last post I had completed 6 rows then over the weekend I added 2 more..

and 2 more 

and after lots more cutting and sewing I now have completed the flimsy as I decided to only do 10 blocks across and 12 rows down making it  62" X  73" 

I'm not going to add borders as I like it as is......

Must away now and find a backing...

Happy Stitching and stay safe ..

Hugs  Maria  ❤

Sewing Sewing !!!

 After catching up with all my projects it was time to play with "Trail Mix" ... I had sewn three rows when I put it aside . Now after lots of sewing I've completed six rows and joined them BUT after I took the photo realised I had put a block upside down.... 

Guess there will be some unpicking and resewing before I make anymore rows.......

Must away and pop the kettle on and make a nice Milo..

Happy stitching and keep well.

Hugs  Maria  ❤

Done !!!

 I've stitched on the Gnome button today and now my No # 5 "Sunday Stitchers"Challenge is DONE....

Made the 4 Paper Dolls and  now I'm up to date with them...

Got the 30 Shields DONE and delivered ....

and while I was sewing a nice loaf  of bread cooked..             

Well now I'm DONE with all the above project I wonder what I can work on next...

Must away into the Cave and decide which project to play with next...

Happy Stitching and keep well.

Hugs  Maria ❤

 

FnwFs by Two...

 It was FnwFs last Friday so  Cheryll popped the linky up for us to join in for a fun night ( nights) of sewing. thanks Cheryll as it does get me a little organised ....

Sadly I've been addicted to making " Trail Mix " so many of my other projects were being put aside so it was time to work on some.

First I went through my stash to find some purples as it is the colour this month for RSC and make my two Sisters...

  

Then I worked on the No 5 of the "Sunday Stitchers" challenge .Only need to hand stitch the binding

Last night I worked on some shields for "Days for Girls " as it's nearly four weeks since our last meeting and  I hadn't made any yet. Got a good start and hope to do more before Tuesday.

I'm also behind with Toni's Paper Dolls . Tracing onto visolex and digging through my fabrics to find the right bits is time consuming but will work on them today....We've had lovely rain since 11pm last night sew perfect time to sew...

 Must away and play in my "Cave".......

Happy Stitching and stay safe 

Hugs  Maria❤

It seems Blogger has made the decision for me to change to the new blogger  so this is a test post to help me learn how it works....

This week I received a yummy parcel from The Quilters Angel 

Okay so far  I THINK  it's fine?????

I'll close now and wait and see what happens with comments....

Keep safe and well.

Hugs  Maria  ❤
