Last week Leanne Beasley posted a pic of the front cover of the next issue of Vignette

which got me thinking about my

Mrs. Beasley's Sampler Quilt

So out came the box and the pre-cut bits and pieces.

 

and onto Block 2.

Now to find the time to do the embroidery.

Hope you find some time to do something you love.

Drum Roll Please

Be warned this is a pic heavy post. My

Vignette Mystery Quilt

is labelled and hung on the wall!

 So I am going to "Officially" call it Finished.

Way back when (August 2011) this quilt started out like this

and I had no idea what would be involved in getting it to this

I have learnt so many things, both about quilting and about me

whilst making this quilt.  Anyone who is making this one

will fully understand the commitment and love that goes into

making it. 

OK I am going to stop talking now and hopefully let some pictures

do the talking for me :o)

FNSI - Productive Evening

With a less congested head and feeling much better I managed a very productive FNSI

This is only my second FNSI and I am enjoying them. Thank you to the girls for organising them.

Glenn organised take away for tea - fish and chips -  fantastic idea, no cooking and no dishes means more sewing time.

So what did I get up to?

Block 4 of my Vignette Mystery Quilt is finished

 I then finished of my Christmas Banner.

I took these two photos last night.

Can you see my "Thrifty Thursday" Christmas Wreath Quilt in the background of the photo below?

If you would like to see it closer I posted about IT HERE

and one taken in better light today :o)

and being that I was on a roll I grabbed out the next block for my Some Kind of Wonderful Quilt

(don't tell Chookyblue .... I'm not sure of she cracks the whip for getting ahead! lol )

Do you like Daisies?

I am more of a Tulip girl personally.

Here is my next block for this project.

I have decided to stop on this project once I get to the bottom of this row.  (I like to have things all even and neat and this is the point I have chosen!)  I know ..... don't ask .... I get enough flack from the family about the way I do some things ... lol

So that leaves me the Ice Creams and Hot chocolate then I promise to stop for a bit.

 Have you seen the new

(it's in my last post) and if it doesn't keep me busy enough I promise to grab out my "In My Garden" Kit . . . . . . . .

Enjoy your sewing and I would love to see what you did,

Sharon

A finish.....and progress Show and Tell

New Table Runner Came to life......

Remember the table runner in my last post and how I said I had an idea running around in my brain?  Well the idea wouldn't go away so I made it. Great idea at the time but now I have another idea/project running through my brain ..... more on that later :o)

My "original" Hometown table runner has been moved over to the Buffet and this new one is sitting on our dining table.

I love the fabrics in this range and it is still my current favourite.

One of our living areas backs onto this dining area and there is a general red theme throughout so I might make a couple of cushions to coordinate it all some time in the future (no this is not the project currently "haunting" my brain!)

..... Quick updates on other projects .....

Christmas Bags

So far I have one Bag front stitched and the other is nearly half way.

Made using my scraps of Lynette Anderson's new range of fabric "Scandinavian Christmas"

I am going to need to purchase some more fabric to complete the bags and I am happy with how they are coming together.

Vignette Mystery Quilt Block 2/3

A lot of stitching on this one but I am getting there, slowly.

Scandinavian Christmas

At a stand still.  I need to sit and sew on all those hearts!

My Birdie Stitches Block for September is all traced, I just need to find the time to sit and stitch it.

Miss L's Once Upon a Time Block for this month is still at the Shop!!!  Arhhh. I was there just the other day but got talking and buying other stuff and forgot to get it.  Easily done when you feel like a kid in a candy store only the candy is fabric :o)

Lastly ...... remember this?

The sewing instruction are being held back a little so people have a chance to catch up which it totally OK with me because it will give me a chance to work on the other project in my head!

I have over 900 of the 1008 yo-yo's needed so am super pleased with that!

Thank you for hanging with me on this long post.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend.

Happy stitching,

Sharon

Vignette Inspired Hexagon Quilt ~ Sunkissed

Here is my Hexagon Quilt inspired by Vignette.

I have never made anything like this and was not sure I could stick with the hand piecing so I went for a larger Hexagon :o) 

I still have to finish off some of the white Hexies with embroidery.

I have squared off the quilt, great throw size.

At this stage I think that I am adding a white border and possibly embroidering flowers all

the way around.  Well that is the plan at this moment in time.

I fell in love with the sunkissed range as soon as I saw it so knew it would be just perfect for this project.

I will try to get back and show you the progress on my Gollie Quilt

Happy stitching,

Sharon
