Again….

I’ve got no internet 🛜 so will do a post on my iPad by hot spotting from my phone…. 

Been doing some more on La Passacaglia and now I’m trying to decide on fabrics for the row after the yellow? 

Which green????

The row after the green will be a star with the pink one in the centre and green lattice as the diamond. ♦️ 

I really need to get back to quilting the RSC “ I Spy “ ready to be donated to the Children’s Hospital. 

But as you can see I got side tracked again. Was looking for some red ticking (for another project. 🤔) I came across this very long time UFO.A box of hexies. So now I’m playing with them. 

Do we all work on multiple projects at once??

Must away now and put on the kettle for a cuppa.

It’s the second one made for the left overs of  “ Chain Links “.

Then I sat and did some hand stitching on La Passacaglia 

After a very busy day today playing croquet and then sewing in the evening with friends I 

Must away now and go to bed…

Happy stitching 🧵

FINALLY

I'm back.....I've had no internet since Oct 26th. Finally, today a technician came and sorted out the problem and I'm back online....

So now I can show you what I've been up to . 

Sewing Christmas Pillowcases for " Kids in Oncology "  

 

Aussie Hero Blocks for November..

put together another table runner from left over Chain Link blocks.

In the evenings I enjoy sitting and doing some hand sewing on La Passacaglia.

Decided to put all my blocks on the design board and was surprised how much it's growing. 

Poor Lacy was scratching so much I made her little socks till the injection she had stopped the itching.... 

Must away now and make a cuppa so I can catch up on some blog reading.

Happy Stitching .

Had a great time away in Perth visiting family before going to retreat. On Friday night I enjoyed sewing along with Wendy and ladies for FNSI and made two pillow cases for “ Kids in Oncology “ 

For the rest of the weekend I completed a table runner from the left overs of “Chain Links”

And also completely put together this cute Baby Quilt .

And since I got home I’ve finally made my “Aussie Hero” blocks for October.

Another

week has flown by and I've been busy sorting projects to take to retreat next week.

but I did sit and do some hand sewing in the evenings and got another La Passacaglia block done.

and in the middle of the mess on the table I got another block ready to pop in the retreat box as well as cut out four pillowcases for    "Pillowcases for Oncology Kids" 

Today I FINALLY threaded the overlocker to finish off these four boys ones . Now to cut out some for girls...

Must away now and have a cuppa.

Happy stitching ,

FnwFs for October 2023

I enjoy my FnwFs as I always get organised and get things done.   After our Quilt Hanging  I put together a Churn Dash Lap quilt which I've made for a friend's special "0" BD and took it to my longarm quilter . It was delivered to me on Thursday so yesterday I prepared the bindings for it and also for a baby quilt,

  

then I quilted the simple fence and rail baby quilt by cross hatching in a serpintine stitch.

After dinner I sewed the binding on the "Churn Dash" 

  

and the Baby Quilt

A big thank you to Cheryll for getting us together as I had a great afternoon and evening sewing along with my virtual friend. Don't forget to pop over HERE to see what others have done....

Must away now and get ready for croquet...

Happy stitching 

Hugs  Maria ❤
