A tisket, a tasket

Last year at a workshop with Gail Pan one of the patterns we were given was a basket quilt all in reds. I made up the 3 baskets we were given & then they sat for over 12 months now. Yesterday i decided to turn them into a runner rather than have them sitting waiting for me to make the other 6.

Down to 1 finish a day as most of what is left needs a little work before they can make it to the machine or they are the big quilts which i'm not ready to tackle yet. :)

Last night i made a start on my Mischief blocks

Happy stitching,

Garden Blooms

is finished.

....

This is the only finish as i decided to write down my UFO's. I knew the little pile on the back of the cutting table needed little bits & pieces done like applique, embroidery or just fabrics. Figured if i list things & what was needed to get them either into a finish or a quilt top i'd be better organised. Well i kinda overwhelmed myself so i just walked away. besides which as i was writing  i'd remember other UFO's so the list kinda grew. :) Today is another day so i'll make a start on clearing that list off.

Last night i prepped another 6 blocks for Mischief to add to the 4 i'd done Saturday night.

Happy Stitching,

Tablerunners

First ufo i worked on was this cute garden stitchery by Gail Pan.

The red borders had to be sewn on first then appliqued to the beautiful background fabric. Today i hope to get the decorations sewn on & then quilted.

After that it was onto my pineapple tablerunners

Happy Stitching,

Cute finishes

 Just 1 little finish to show from yesterday.

The kit came with felt to make a reindeer which i whipped up last night

He's so cute. Another lovely pattern by Fig 'n' Berry.

Happy Stitching,

Friday Night with Friends May

I started my Friday off by heading into my LQS as i needed some border fabric for my pink/green/white EPP quilt. Whilst there i also picked up fabric for a UFO, a couple of "eye" fat 1/4's from Tula Pinks gorgeous Tabby Road range & another fat 1/4 for a swap. Oh & some much needed backing fabric.

Finished there it was off to view the craft & quilts of the wonderful ladies who attend St Paul's craft group. Beautiful quilt as always. After a lovely morning tea provided by those same ladies it was off across the mall to see this

A beautiful display of some of the Antique War Quilts from the collection of Dr Annette Gero. Then it was time to go home & sew.

After lunch i made these 2 hangings up

Another cutie by Fig 'n' Berry.

a lovely design by Annie Downs.

After sewing the binding down i finished the last 2 Mischief blocks

& here they are with the other 8 i'd been working on during the week

Time to go see what UFO's to finish today & prep more Mischief blocks.

Thankyou Cheryll for hosting us. Pop over here to see what everyone got up to.
