Progress on two .....

Simple things Quilt along ..............

Couldn't help myself after seeing that some other ladies had pieced their quilts. So here is mine so far :o)


There is no more work to be done on this one until the next lot of instructions for the border are released late next week.

Birdie Stitches BOM

Brrr..... after a cold morning sitting in the car trying (rain made it hard to see) to watch my Son play junior football I have completed this months Birdie Stitches.  This block represents 4th July in the US but being an Aussie I'm saying it represents childhood memories of bonfire nights and the good old BBQ with family and friends. We never had fireworks tho! :(

Sorry about the bad lighting. It is cold and wet here and the only good place to be is in front of the fire :)

.... and yes I have also pieced this one together ....

Still haven't decided what fabric from this cute range to use for the outside border so that bit is a WIP!





Enjoy what is left of your weekend. I am off to sit near a fire with my Kindle or stitch a bit more on my Scandinavian Christmas Block 2.

Happy stitching,
Sharon

Simple Things Quilt Along - Updates and Baby Oliver

Simple Things Quilt Along

After a slow start things have really started to form nicely :)

Today I took a lot of this


Turned it onto this


Which is now looking a lot like this :)


I am loving that way that the Red "pops" on this quilt top.  I am using "Ruby" by Moda
and LOVE IT!

If you want more details on the quilt along pop over HERE


Reborn Baby Oliver

My sweet little man Oliver is looking for his forever mum.  Is that you?  If you would like to see my newest little man who is available for adoption please go see Baby Oliver Here




I also have another WIP - My Window to Our Garden Quilt top by Li'l Blokes.

So far mine looks like this -


It is all pieced ... "Yay" ..... I need to dedicate some time to finish off the Applique (by hand) and finish painting the faces. 




Scandinavian Christmas BOM Progress

Block 1 is almost finished.  I don't know how but a couple of the Churn Dash blocks had a mind of their own and did not come out as planned so they will be a WIP as the next blocks come in and I try to remake them.


~ and see what arrived yesterday ~

and today it looks like this :)

All for now. The next Birdie Stitches BOM is due out so hopefully some more work to be done there as well.

Happy stitching,
Sharon
