October Medallions

I finally made myself sit & do the medallions for October. Just in time seeing as there is only a week left & we'll be into November.

Earlier this week a sewing box I've been wanting for a while popped up on my Facebook feed & as it was a local selling it I quickly snapped it up. He has a few antique sewing machines I'd like too. 😁😁.

Happy Stitching,

Friday Night Sew In October

Last night i joined in FNSI hosted by our lovely Wendy Thankyou for hosting us again Wendy.

I started stitching in the afternoon watching Netflix & trying out the Caramilk chocolate that is all the rave. So popular that my local supermarkets haven't had stock since it came in 3 weeks ago. My lucky day yesterday as i decided to just check the shelves on the off chance stock was in. Finally it was. :)

I really hate satin stitch & that was all that was left to do on block 8 of the Christmas BOM i'm doing.

There was just so much of it on this months block. I'm hoping month 9 has a little less. :)

Christmas Ornies

Time got away from me being so busy working on my EPP quilt that the 25th arrived around before I knew it. The 25th is usually when I post on One Xmas Item A Month.

I looked through my prepped pattern basket and found a little kit that wouldn't take long. It included 3 ornies

Plus a wreath

The ornies can be hung inside the wreath

My ribbons are a little long, the pattern didn't give any guide as to how long they should be cut.

Happy stitching,

FNSI September

I did join in this time, just a little late posting because I woke Saturday with a migraine. Thankfully as time goes by they seem to be getting less & less frequent. Maybe by next year I'll never have a migraine ever again. 😊😊.

 I finished off a few stitches on Santa

 Then started on the next stitchery

Both stitcheries are from Gail Pan's Christmas BOM.

Thankyou to Wendy for being our lovely hostess. Pop over to Wendy's blog to see who all joined in & what projects they worked on

Coffin quilt

The last few weeks I've made myself sit & sew my coffin quilt & i put the last shape on last night. Now to decide whether or not to fill in the spaces on the top, bottom & sides with EPP or just applique straight onto border fabric.

It fits nicely on my queen bed & comes already prepared with obligatory quilty cat. 🤣🤣.

There is 1495 coffin shapes in the top & i've tried not to double up any pieces. There are ones that have same pattern but different colours.

Time for a new project I think. Well at least catch up on this months Christmas BOM's before October's arrive or even this months medallions. 😊😊.

Friendship Medallions

Last night I decided to lay out my hexagon medallions just to see how they look together so far.

The 6 on the left are ones I've made & the ones on the right are the ones I've received so far. Now the problem is to choose a layout as there are so many ideas.

Happy Stitching,

Christmas candle mat

I bought this candle mat as a kit a while back & I got it out a few days ago to stitch together. The original had a fabric base that wrapped over the black felt but I wasn't keen on that so I cut out the red felt circle to go underneath instead.

Happy Stitching,

FNSI August

Last night i joined our lovely hostess Wendy for FNSI.

I started out stitching on block 6 of my Christmas BOM. I finished the 's' in presents then stitched 6 & a, went to re-thread my needle only to discover i'd picked up the wrong cottage garden thread when stitching 6 & a. Darn had to unpick them  to restitch with the correct colour thread. I shouldn't have 2 stitchery projects near each other using cottage garden threads. :) Despite that little set back i did get all the letters finished, the stars done & started on the bird.

Pop over to Wendy's blog to discover who joined in last night & what projects they worked on.
