Great Granny Along

Great Granny Along

It has been a while since I have worked on this one. 

I had actually planned to finish it before we moved, some 9 weeks ago now.   

I have a pile of WIP's on my sewing table that I would love to get finished

 so that I can start the new year with some new projects :) 

so my aim is to get them over the line, one by one.

So with that said, here are blocks 15 and 16

I then found a layout that I was happy with,

Added some sashing strips and raided my scrap boxes for some more 2.5" squares

added a border and by about 9pm last night

I had one completed quilt top.

Fabric is "Marmalade" by Bonnie and Camille (1 Jelly Roll)

and it is approx 58" square.

It is now safely hanging in the walk in robe awaiting its turn to be quilted

.... next year  :)

Do you have a pile of projects that you would like to finish before the end of the year?

hugs, Sharon

How was your FNSI?

Mine went a bit like this.

Great Granny 

got a look at first. I had three left to make

Now I have two as I got a little distracted and got my

"My Favourite Things"

quilt top ready to quilt

then moved onto my

Merry Merry Snowman 

Quilt and pieced block 8 and hung it with block 9

then decided to get the appliqué ready

This is the block that "sold me" on this quilt and I still love it :o)

Now both blocks are ready to stitch.

Lastly, I went back to this.

I found these Quilt Clips yesterday at Spotlight.

How did I not know about them?

I then finished off my night with a glass of wine and some quilting.

First a bit of "in the ditch" then some outlining of the Appliqué.

Looks like my plan of attack this weekend will  should be more work on this one

but with my track record last night who knows!

Off now to grab a coffee and to see what everyone else got up to.

Have a great weekend.

Sewing Granny in Chaos!

It has come down to the last few days in this house.

There are boxes everywhere, I'm calling it organised Chaos :o)

My sewing room is all packed except for my sewing machine 

and beside my machine are little piles of fabrics which when

 time permits will be 

Great Granny Squares.

Here are two more for my collection

Block 12 and 13

and all of them so far

So yes, this means that there are only 3 more left to make.

I would love to have them made by tomorrow night but only time will tell.

Do you remember my little "health issue"

I am off to see the Cardiac Specialist later today.

I am not expecting answers today, just a plan of attack would be nice :o)

"Fingers crossed"

Enjoy your day doing something you love.

School's back!!!!!

Yay.....School is back and at last I can hear myself think!

Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and all, but these holidays have been testing.

I know it doesn't help that I'm not well and we still have

no answers or solutions just yet but I am so over the

"drowning" noise of the play station and whose turn it is next!

So welcome back routine :o)

I missed you :o)

Would you like to see what I have done, sewing wise over the weekend?

I have cut all the fabrics for the remaining blocks for my

"Great Granny Squares" Quilt.

I am planning to make 16 blocks so three down and 13 to go.

I then made myself a Needle book with some of the scraps

to take with me to "Urban Stitches" - 5 more sleeps ... yippie

Then pieced and prepared the next two blocks for my

Merry Merry Snowman BOM

and added them to the pile of hand stitching projects I have next

to the couch

and after the kids left for school this morning and whilst Miss Lily was still asleep

I wrapped these ready to go out in the mail.

I'm off to grab a coffee and do some Blog hopping.
