Revisiting .....

I am "trying" to be diciplined as I have a heap of projects I want to start
but I feel the urge to make some forward progress on some other projects first.
Here is a quick round up of what I've been working on for the last week.

Hex on the Beach

I have had 4 rows sewn together for a while.


I am now close to having 7 rows sewn together.

Scandinavian Rose

I have finally finished Block 2


Liberty Spools Quilt

Squaring up those HST is really slowing me down on this one but I am up to
57 of the 100 spools required.



Blake's Quilt 
Was posted yesterday and has been received by his Parents today.


They have posted on Facebook if you would like to take a look.
Thank you again to everyone who has donated blocks.
 I still have them arriving daily and I have a plan for the next one.


Blake's Celebration was a mass of Colour with Balloons.  
Balloons were let go all over the world for this little man.
So the next quilt will be made much like this one above to
represent the coming together to Celebrate Blake and the balloons that
were let go that day. This quilt will be donated to Heart Kids to either
be gifted to a child or help with fundraising.

On the home front here.
Aiden and his team won his Basketball Grand Final Friday Night.
Declyn has had his Football Presentation Evening Sunday and has come home with a trophy for most Improved Player and his 50 Game Medallion.

and ...... the board games are out these School Holidays.
Lily loves board games at the moment and it is so nice to see the big kids "adapt" a game so Lily can play. This one is a blast from the past!  It was one of my favorites as a kid and this is my original from 1982 so I guess it cold be called vintage! 


Enjoy your week.
Hugs Sharon

  4. Smiled when I saw the kids playing with your board game. My 3 grandchildren beg me to play "Park & Shop" when they visit. It was mine when I was about 7 or 8, so it really is vintage!

  8. Great progress with the spools and the scan rose.. such a lot of stitching in them. Blakes quilt and the other one are stunning and I love the idea of making one as a fundraiser.... I always loved holidays time and not having to be dictated to by the clock...

  11. All those projects on the go - well done. I can only juggle one or two at a time!
    I am so glad Blake's quilt was received with much love and appreciation, it looked fantastic. That's a lovely idea to donate another one & use it for a fundraiser or to give it to another family.
    Enjoy the rest of the holidays with your adorable family, how come they go much faster than any other time of the year??

  16. Hi Sharon, I am still into the blocks for Blakes quilt but I couldn't comment at the original post, so I didn't got your mail address. Will you please email me? I'm so sorry, that Blake didn't had the chance to see his amazing quilt...

  17. So glad that Blake's quilt was well received and the next one will be as spectacular. Great idea... you may get enough blocks for another one! Those pesky WIP do get in the way of starting a new one and I am guilty of having LOTS of WIP's.
