well its done & now a top ready to be quilted.
Started back in 2021 most blocks were done. I moved house & it stayed in a box. Fast forward to 2024 & as part of the stitchers challenge i made the rest of the little blocks & the applique. I think there may have been quite a few 1/2 square triangle blocks still to do at that time too. When i started to put it together i encountered an issue so into the naughty corner it went.Onto this years challenge list it went & i was determined i would get a quilt top if possible or quite a few small/doll quilts if not. today i put that final border on. What relief it is now a flimsy, not a perfect flimsy by any means but i'm happy with it.
Happy Stitching
Well month 5 is done & dusted. Only 3 blocks left & they will be quick to do. :) Hopefully before June ends i will have made a start on putting the top together but will need to finish Junes challenge first. :)
FNSI saw me working on the owl & hare hollow blocks. I started with this block sewing down the circle onto the block.
Month 4 is done & dusted & the month 5 blocks are started.
Last night i put the last stitch in the blocks for month 3. So much work & month 4 isn't any better. :)
The owl i did buttonhole stitch again. Eyes & beak are satin stitch.Things didn't go according to plans. :) I thought i'd better actually finish the 4 little projects from April Chookshed challenge. Yeh i know but better late than never.
First up was this tiny needlecase
Thanks to Netflix having so much choice to watch i've been spending afternoon/evenings stitching up these blocks. All these blocks are paper pieced then sewn down by applique. The large circles are cut out of 4 squares sewn together then appliqued. The rabbit is buttonhole stitched.
is brought to you by the colour orange,
Hmm terrible photo as some of the oranges look brown & some pink.........number 5. Schoolgirl sampler gets a look in again & hopefully will be top this time. Here is where i left it last year when it ended up in the naughty corner.
despite careful sewing & cutting things just weren't fitting together as they should. As i had a heap of blocks left to make & the centre last year the last thing i felt like doing was remaking those small blocks so hence the naughty corner. :)
Happy Stitching,
At the start of the month this is where i was at with Owl & Hare Hollow. I knew i wouldn't get it into a top as there is just so much hand work in this quilt. Here is where i was at to begin with at the start of the month.
I've been making up a Lucy block every now & again for a while so when i finished one the other night i thought i'd better do a count to see how many i had. I got a surprise when i counted them. :)
Total count is 43. The last count was 34. Number 44 was started last nightAnother reason to do a count was i'm running out of these shapes & i really don't want to buy more. I guess it's time to start joining them together. Oh i just have another12 to make. :) :).An early start saw the making of the green blocks for RSC. I'd cut them out Thursday afternoon so i could get stuck right in. :)
the easy block first, potato chip. :)then the fiddly buttonsfollowed by the kites.I forgot to post the last blocks yesterday. There was only 3 for month 6 & i finished them on Saturday. Now the trimming back starts ...
