Churn Dash Blocks & a finish

 Just made it in the nick of time. Phew. :) lol

8 blocks for the churn dash sewalong

plus my 1 & only finish for August

Happy Stitching,

Zooooom........

Yesterday Chookyblue invited us to a quick Zoom. I was at the shops when i saw the message so i quickly grabbed my coffee & vanilla slice & hurried home as quick as i could (i was walking) as i didn't want to miss anything :) lol.

I only managed to get 1 rosette done

whilst chatting to these lovely ladies

Some left after this photo & others popped in.

2 more rosettes were made last night

I have 6 full rosettes to make but i'm short 20 hexagons for 3 of those & quite a few small triangles. When i make those up i'll count what i need for the fillers & get them made up also. Then it will be a case of tracking down where i put the red fabric for the large triangles & making those up.

Happy Stitching,

rosettes

 Binge watching Discovery(star trek) on Paramount+ & a quick Zoom with Chookyblue resulted in 6 rosettes for my quilt. I counted up the hexies i'd made last week & found i'm short 17 for the rosettes. Once i get those done i'll need to figure out the fillers for the sides.

FNSI August

 Oh dear how did it get to be nearly the end of August already. As usual when signing up for FNSI hosted by Wendy i had plans. :) But as usual a spanner was thrown into the works. I had one of my very (these days)  random migraines. 

I sat up for a little while in the evening & put together these little 1" triangles

They are for this project

Sorry it's a sideways shot. The unfilled spots are the sides. Anyway i thought i'd made enough flowers but i changed how i wanted to sew them together. I need to make enough to add another 3 or 4 rows & fill in the sides.

Pop over here to see who joined in last night.

Happy Sewing,

Christmas hangings

 This afternoon i found some sewjo to put my hanging together that needed to have some of blocks restitched due to me cutting them the wrong size when trimming. 

 

Ta da one top ready to quilt. Not sure how i'll do that yet though.

Whilst in the mood for sewing i put the borders on this little hanging i stitched recently.

 

Both are Fig 'n' Berry Creations designs. Number one Christmas Necessities, number 2 Jingle All The Way.

Happy Stitching

FNwF August

Due to my excitement of having a Zoom meet this morning i forgot to take a photo of last nights stitching. I picked up my project to work on today & after quite a bit of stitching remembered about the photo. LOL

I managed to stitch the 2nd little house last night.

Since i took this photo i'm up to the last house & have the roof done. Block 7 of  24 from Redwork Christmas by Fig n Berry designs. I really don't think the project will be done by this Christmas either. :)

Pop over to visit Cheryll to see who joined in.

Happy Stitching,

Churn Dash July

 After a short Zoom session & seeing Chooky's Churn Dash blocks i thought i'd better get moving & get this months 8 blocks done.

After a few stuff ups with cutting out the pieces i remembered how i cut the fat 1/4's so there would be little waste. Oh & i did forget i was only cutting 3 blocks from each fat 1/4 so now i have an extra brown block & will have to cut more background squares to make up for those & the ones i used in the extra 1/2 square triangles i made by mistake for the blue block below. Not to worry as any extras i will turn into a tablerunner. :)

Happy Stitching

A Sign

A Little Finish

 I finally remembered to buy a frame to finish off the Bonnie Sullivan project i stitched a while back.

Happy Stitching,

Chookshed Stitchers Zoom

 Yesterday we had another fun Zoom hosted by Chooky. Ladies from Australia, New Zealand, Germany, USA, England & the Netherlands all popped in.

A while back i cut out around 30 Klosjes (spools) to work on in Zoom sessions. I made more than i thought. :).

 12 and a partial on at the bottom.

Happy Stitching,

scrappy quilt.

Despite careful sewing, measuring, cutting & pinning things just weren't working out when i tried adding the 2 round of squares so before the quilt ended up in the naughty corner i decided to just make it a lap quilt.

 Now that it's done i shall move onto  2 new projects & start sewing the squares again as leaders & enders until i get enough to make the original pattern.

Happy Stitching
