This one is progressing very slowly but I have finished these from Block 2.
I went out in the car this morning to get some more threads to try and finish off these.
(The remainder of Block 2 and 3)
The car broke down in the middle of an intersection so here is Aiden (my 15y.o.) and me
pushing a 4WD (any idea how heavy these dam things are?)
through an intersection to the side of the road with the girls inside. OMG scary!
Ditched the car and walked home.
Was not going to let this beat me with progressing on this quilt.
So I dug out this block (Block 1) and
added some borders.
Whilst on a roll I prepared this block (Block 4).
Just need to do the embroidery.
and then this one - Block 5.
prepared these
and am up to this one this one!
Just need some RicRac and then I can add the borders to this one also.
I can feel the love for this one coming back.
So my design wall now looks like this.
Hopefully with the cooler weather approaching I can get some serious work
done on this one as I have committed to stitching
"A Little Bit Country".
Car is back in the Driveway thanks to Glenn and a mechanic at his work.
Not going out to get those threads now though!
If you want to see how the other girls are going on their quilts pop on over
Hugs, Sharon

You are zooming Sharon - think I need to prepare the next couple of blocks as well to get me moving. Wait a pain with the car - not what you had planned
ReplyDeleteOh dear Sharon how scary. As long as everyone is safe.
ReplyDeleteYou are a powerhouse with your stitching, that's a fantastic effort.

Can't keep a good woman down. Well done in the face of adversity.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all OK.
ReplyDeleteLoving that quilt, I really wish I had started that one now...xx
Ps..I will just enjoy watching yours grow.
Sharon, How can I find out if this Girls Day Out pattern can be found here in the U.S. I have been looking on the internet and all I can find are locations in Australia which would make it cost prohibitive. Seeing all that you have accomplished I just fell in love with the pattern. Thanks, Daisy
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look great. Hope the car stays happy now so you can get those threads.
ReplyDeleteKeep plugging away. You have done so much! I started mine yesterday - finally! Will post soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be beautiful when is finished!!!!
