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.

Blake's Million Smiles

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.

Are you ready for a catch up?

In recent weeks I have been busy sewing behind the scenes for a couple of swaps and not getting much done on many of my own projects to blog their slow progress.  Well apart from my "Glacier Star" as the last class is today and I had a self imposed deadline to have it done before today's class.  I am fairly certain that I will not be the only person with a completed quilt top for today's class :)  

So today's post is a bit of a catch up.  Are you ready?

In no specific order ......

Best Friends Forever BOM

I finished Embroidered Hexie no 10 last night.

Hex on the Beach

Rows 4 - 8 are now waiting to be attached to the first 4 rows.

Shop Sample

 (Finished last night to drop off this afternoon)

This one has been sewn for my LQS as a shop sample. It is called "Stitching Makes my Heart Happy" by Gail Pan.  It opens up and stores 24 Cottage Garden Threads.  I am also in the process of making one for me :)

12" Mini Winter Swap

This one went out a few weeks ago.

I hope my recipient liked it.

Tail Feathers

Block 4 has made a reappearance :)

but I cant handle the mess so I started cleaning my space yesterday.

One side of the room now looks all pretty like this

but I am not showing you the other side!   It is still a WIP (hmm..... I seem to have a lot of them at the moment).  Oh and talking about WIP's. These are currently working their way through my machine.

HST for my Vintage Spools Quilt.

As for the swaps I've been working on.  One is a one on one swap with an Instagram friend Roz and the other is the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Swap.  Both ready to go in the mail next week so hopefully I can share them with you soon.

Now, what project to take with me today?

Enjoy your weekend, hugs

FNSI on a Saturday

Somehow I missed FNSI this month so I had a

SASI (Saturday Afternoon Sew In) instead.

First up I need go back a couple of days and share Block 9 of my

Designer Mystery BOM

And here are the first 9 blocks

Then today I worked on Blocks 10 and 11

And this is how things look now :o)

Block 12 is in transit from the US.

This means that next month the new

Designer Mystery BOM starts

I cant wait to see and start this one. It will be in beautiful Avalon

fabrics by Fig Tree.

I also found a temporary home for my Marcelle Medalion Quilt :o)

The view from my Kitchen to my Dinning area.
(My sewing space is in that back room to the right.
Nice and close to the heart of the home)

I'm off now to join my Northern Hemisphere friends for their
FNSI and go sew some 1" Hexagons



Have a great evening.
Hugs, Sharon

Paper Piecing Addiction

I feel like that is what I have at the moment.

"Lancaster Quilt"

I sat down on the floor Monday and worked out how
many clam shells I needed for the top/outer edge of this border.



I felt like I made good progress.
I went back to it yesterday and I only had a few left to
do on the second row.

but then I had to do some more prep work for the third row.
This was when I realised that I need more of some of the fabrics to get a
nice even spread of print and colour so away it went until
I can get to my LQS and pick up the next pack of fabrics.

And out came a Mother's Day pressie
Hex on the Beach

It is a little addictive. I burnt tea and we ended up with pizza, whoops!

I have also been playing with a new app on the Ipad.
It's called "A Beautiful Mess" if your interested.

have a "Fancy" day,

hugs Sharon
