Joy Bunting

The 3rd project from the other day is finished. Joy bunting from The Raspberry Rabbits

Happy Stitching,

Small finishes

 Time to stop faffing around & start clearing out my small ufo tray. I'll get to my large ufo's at a later date.   

The appliqued hexagon from my last post is now turned into a needlcase ready to post off with the doll quilt.

It has pockets on the inside to hold things

The other finish is a swag bunting from Gail Pan called "Joy Bunting"

There was a 3rd project also a "Joy" bunting which i didn't get finished last night. Hopefully today it will get done. :)

Happy Stitching,

FNSI March

 Hard to believe but here we are in the middle of March already & time for FNSI. Thankyou Wendy for hosting us again.

My day started early as i needed to get my little doll quilt made for a swap. I'd appliqued the hexies down earlier in the week so there wasn't a lot to do to finish it.

When doing the applique i discovered i can't count & had made 13 rosettes. Wondering what to do with the extra one i decided to use it up in a needlecase to send with the quilt. Background fabric was found & i did the applique.

Now to finish it. :)

Hmm only early evening & i don't know what to do. EPP ? can't do any stitchery as i 've none traced out. Wonder if  there is anything already pre-printed? Yes there is. I remembered about  gift sent to me earlier this year was ready to stitch. Problem solved. lol

FNwF March

 Last night for March FNwF i started block 6 of  "A Redwork Christmas" by Fig 'n' Berry Creations. It was put out last year but i only stitched a few blocks. Hopefully i'll get it done for this Christmas :)

Then as i went to pack it away to go to bed this happened

She had been sitting on the arm of the chair beside me whilst i was stitching but something disturbed her & she decided my box of sewing would then be a good place to sleep. :) lol.

Thankyou to Cheryll for having us around again. Pop over here to find links to who joined in last night.

Happy Stitching,

February Zoom.

 After the month i had it was wonderful to sit & sew yesterday with lovely ladies from all around the world in a Zoom session hosted by Chooky. 

Not sure how many ladies joined in as they come & go all day. I managed to get a photo at one stage of the day.

I worked on a block from Lucy

I had nearly finished adding the white to my block when my daughter asked if i wanted to run to the shops. Not really but figured i'd buy a few extras in case of delays with trucks getting through as with all the rain it's flooding in quite a few areas. Talk about panic buying, the bread shelf was completely empty. Makes a change from the toilet paper shelf being bare. Ha ha. :).

Happy Stitching,

Singer machines

 My lucky day today. This gorgeous machine came into my possession. I've been hoping to get a Featherweight 222 but they were either to expensive or to far away for me to look at before buying. 

Whilst away in New South Wales dealing with the passing of my Mum a local to me in Queensland lady put the machine up on Facebook. I thought darn i've missed out again. Well the machine was still there next morning & she'd even lowered the price. :) Still i thought what to do as there was no one at home who could look for me. I decided to message her to explain about my situation & luckily for me she was quite happy to wait until i could go & look today. YAY.

Here she is.

 

1957 Featherweight 222. Now i have a matching pair as i bought a 221 a few years ago.

Happy Stitching,

FNwF February.

 Boy FNwF has rolled around quick. I think i blinked & missed January somehow. Lol. I'd better not blink again or it will be December. Ha Ha.

Thanks to our lovely hostess Cheryll for another lovely evening of sewing.

I have been working on my Lucy blocks of an evening so i continued with them last night.

This block had half of the white border down so that was finished off last night & i got another started

Pop over here to see who joined in last night.

Christmas Table Runner

 Yesterday i pulled a bit of sewing mojo from somewhere & completed one ufo & have another half done which i hope to finish today.

The table runner is only a short term ufo having made the top in December. :)

 

It was hard trying to get a decent photo. The runner is really long & there isn't a lot of good light coming into the house with the day being slightly overcast.

Happy Stitching,

Australia Day 2022 & Zoom.

 Australia Day was overcast & rainy for me. A nice cool day to sit & sew.  Chooky invited us to a zoom get together in the afternoon & it was lovely to chat with all the ladies who were able to join in.

I stitched my the hexies for the doll quilt i'm making. I had 9 left to do.

I finished these 7 whilst on Zoom

and these 2 last night. I now have all 12 i needed so today i'd better find what fabric i need to make the quilt. :)

Thanks ladies & Chooky for a pleasant afternoon.

Happy Stitching,

Zoom, zoom

 Yesterday Chooky hosted a short Zoom chat. as always it was lovely to join in chat to the lovely ladies from all over the world who regularly join & to see some new faces.  We have had 3 Zoom chats this month which has been wonderful.

Whilst chatting i stitched my little Christmas stitchery.

I had just started doing the satin stitch when it was time to finish the Zoom chat. :). Whilst watching the tv last night i completed all the satin stitch. Now to decide what to turn the stitchery into.

Kathleen Tracy started a hexagon sew along on her Facebook group at the start of January. I had my fabrics chosen but until now didn't have time to start. I managed to make 2 last night & have a 3rd one done. It will be a 9 patch hexagon doll quilt.
