June medallion

I figured i'd better get my June medallions done out of the way before June zooms by & all i see is a cloud of dust & wonder where did June go i such a hurry.

I hope my partner for this month likes her medallion. 

Happy Stitching,

Partying with Chookyblue

I'm a bit late with my post but i did join in with Chookyblue to celebrate the Chookshed's birthday.

Friday night i did some embroidery. The plain stitching was finished off on this block ready for the satin stitch.

Now that number 3 is nearly finished i hope i can get block 4 done before 5 arrives.

Saturday i started binding this quilt with a little help from my furry friend

Then that evening as i was handsewing the binding down she though it would make a good bed again

 I had only about 1/4 of the binding left before i had to go to bed. Sunday saw me out of action for the day but i finished the binding Sunday evening.

The finished quilt ready to be gifted to my daughter. Beautiful quilting done by the quilting fairy Fiona.

May FNSI

Yesterday i joined in FNSI hosted by the lovely Wendy.

I started my day with ironing on the transfer of Month 4 of Fig 'n' Berry's Christmas BOM. I'm running behind as i didn't even get month 3 stitched yet. :(

Next to work on was these three little Christmas hangings by Michelle of The Raspberry Rabbits

They just need to be quilted & binding added.

Next up was this set of 3 also by Michelle

The 2 felt pieces just need a hanging sleeve added, the stitchery the binding.

Then onto my Easter hanging from Gail's new book Changing Seasons

Borders added, quilted & then bound.

Lastly was the May project from Gail's Christmas BOM Merry & Bright

Covers the Moccona jar quite nicely. :)

Pop over the Wendy's blog to see who joined in & what projects they worked on.

May medallion

My medallions are made for May, 1 for me & 1 for my swap partner. It's going to be a lovely quilt when all our swaps are done. Such lovely fabrics & so far none has been doubled up by anyone.

Hearts Quilt finish

The hearts quilt has been back a little while from Fiona who did her wonderful magic with the quilting just waiting on me to bind it.. I finally found some sewjo to sit at the machine & do the binding. :)

Thankyou Fiona we love the quilting. So another UFO is done & dusted.

Happy Stitching,

Still here stitching away

I've been stitching Mays blocks of the Christrmas BOM

Still working on the stitchery for the project. :).

When i saw my sister at Easter she asked if i'd make mug rugs for them in their favourite football teams colours. Nothing exciting but maybe reversible & not big. So i set out to make them like she wanted but thought that's to boring. So they ended up like this.

I didn't mean to make 8 each. It was only going to be 4 each as i was going  to back them with their reversed squares but before i knew it i'd cut plain squares out for backing so i just went with it. :) Hope my sister & BIL like them.

Now to finish binding a quilt that has been waiting a while for me to find some sewjo to sit at the machine. I've only a small section t ogo so should finish that tonight.

Happy Stitching,

FNwF April

Yesterday i joined in with 17 lovely ladies for Friday Night with Friends. Thankyou Cheryll for hosting us. Pop over here to find links to what projects were worked on.

I started reasonably early. My first project was to put the borders on my finished April stitcheries for Merry & Bright bom

Next project was to make the project up that Gail gives us each month with these patterns

The outside

The inside. Now to find a notepad to put into it.

Next i cut out 7 ironed on all the felt pieces to these cute little stocking ornaments.

Another kit ready to sew. Not sure how long i've had this one but my son bought it for me for Christmas. It was maybe 7 years ago. :)

I'd started sewing down the felt on these on these little hangings Thursday night.

This one needed to holly & berries stitched.

This one the red pieces & the holly & berries.

And this one needed all of it to be stitched.

By the time i put the last stitch in i was ready for bed. :)

Thankyou again Cheryll for being our lovely hostess.

Happy Stitching,

quilt along's

Yesterday i put together the medallions for this month swap. I wanted to get them out of the way early. :)

The hexagons are more green than the photo is showing.

This morning on the Martingale page on Instagram i saw that the next blocks for the quirky quilt had been posted. This week it is 9 patches.

Fun little blocks to make.
