Goodnight Irene

I wasn't going to start anything new this year, besides my item once a month for Christmas, but i'd been admiring Terry's quilt & succumbed.

My first 2 rows. I nearly gave up yesterday. I had the 2nd row altogether & had sewn it to the first, started to press it & realised something wasn't right. Yep i'd sewn the cross blocks together wrong. Some reverse sewing & all fixed. Terry is running this as a QAL.

Happy Stitching,

Friday Night with Friends

My Friday night with Friends actually started in the morning finishing ufo's.

The sewing caddy to match my pincushion in a previous post. Much happier now i've sewn it together my way. Next on my list was

the bunny cushion from Michele's new book. After that is was out to coffee & cake with my daughters & oh so adorable grandson. Coming home we watched Supernatural whilst i sewed the gap closed in the caddy lining then stuffed & sewed the gap closed in the bunny cushion. Time for tea then back sewing.

Finished decorating the flower in Michelle's bom Fellowship Of The Flowers. Finished these 2 mini blocks from Tail Feathers bom. They are part of block 6.

& lastly before bed i found up this stitchery & worked on it. I think i started it half way through last year. Possibly even earlier than that.

Time it was finished of i think.

Pop on over & visit our lovely host Cheryll & see what the other ladies who joined last night stitched.

Happy Stitching,

Finishes

Another 2 (recent) UFO's off my list.

A while ago Peg showed her version of Gail's folder & I was inspired to find my pattern & make a start. Due to working on swaps & other things before Christmas it was pushed aside. Tuesday i also worked on this set by Rosalie. I wasn't happy with the way the bucket turned out so i unpicked it & hopefully it will be finished today.

Needlecase from the sewing set.

Happy Stitching,

Table runner

Yesterday i finished this cute table runner by Gail. A recent ufo now ticked of my list. :)

Happy Stitching,

A Flimsy.

Towards the end of last year i was busy working on swaps, gifts ect & getting slightly aggravated with myself that none of my ufo's had been worked on again during the year. I decided enough was enough. 2014 was going to be it for ufo's. No swaps except for the private online one. Also there was to be no new projects until everything i had hanging around half done or partly started was finished. Well that didn't last long i have 4 new projects started. :) I also know within my limitations that the tops that are half done or partly cut out will most likely only be flimsies at years end but i'll be happy just to have achieved even that small amount of finish.

January saw little done due to hot weather but the last week was finally cool enough to sit & sew. First top was partly cut out maybe 10 years ago. Early last week i finished cutting out the piece need & i got down to the business of making a top. I finished it Saturday.

1 down & i' don't know how many other things to go. :) lol
