Hip, hip, hip….

My top has come back from the quilter !

I've basted it… so…

It's finished !!

Some details of the quilting...

I like how it looks like...

I'm so happy to have done all this journey with all of you !

Thank you so much Chooky and Susan to have been such kind guardians of our needle work, even if sometimes  you have to use a whip ;) !

and thank you to all the members of the SAL to have been so inspiring !

Maybe we will meet on another project one day ...

Finally….

a top is done !!!

I'm so happy to have finished it nearly in time…. what are 3 or 4 weeks in a lifetime !!! ;)

Now the quilting ! 

Not by me so we have to wait a little longer to have a complete quilt but I think the harder part is done !

I'm very happy to have made the journey with all of you, so inspiring !!

Slowly...

… I have taken back my needles…

Vacations are not the best time to sew ! but I still enjoyed this special time !!

Little squares border is finally done !

Colors are not exactly like that…I hope more pictures soon !

Ooooopppppssss !

I won't be able to finish this month…

I'm on vacations and have to be with my family and friends….

They don't understand and won't forgive me to be in my studio all day long…

I hope to come back soon !

First set of borders !

August is done !!

I still enjoy the different parts of the quilt !

Hooray !

It was so much fun to make the big block !!!

I have already finish it !!

The little border is navy blue.

I really love this quilt !

I can't wait  to see all your different versions !

It worked !

All the positive waves you sent me have worked !!

I have finished my June blocks !!

and now I really enjoy making the center block !

I want to thank you all for your kind messages.

I wanted to answer you but you are all "no reply-comment"…

Can I fix it or not ?? Am I the only one ?

We have some fresh air today… what a relief !!

Talk to you soon !

Florence

Where June is gone ?

4th of July already and here are my progresses for last month…

I heard the whip cracking ….

Please ! Chooky and Susan, give me just a few days and I swear I can do it !!

To prove my good willing, I've already done the background for July !

and this, under a HUGE HEAT WAVE that is very difficult to even breathe (and I'm serious !!)

I'll be back soon !

Florence

More blocks done !

Made in time this month !!

Little blocks :

All May blocks :

Here they are !!

Only 3 little days late…

April blocks are finally done !!

Now I remember why I hate to appliqué points !!!

Me too !!

I'm on time !

It's hard to have the right colors on the pictures… so this is a try by daylight :

See you soon !

First step !

Ready to appliqué !

I'll be back soon !!

One more step !

I've found my fabrics !!

Backgrounds :

and matching variegated Cosmo thread !

Now "just" to sew !!

Finally !

Just one day late… but it's done ! !

and my pattern has arrived in time...

I'm still collecting my background fabrics… it seems I will run a lot in this SAL !!!

Hello to everyone !

My name is Florence and I live in France.

We have been very shocked these last days…so much hate and violence….

That's why I'm here.

We, women of all the world, with needle and fabric, are building a world of creation and friendship !

No more to say…

I'm happy to be here for my 3rd SAL !

Florence

We are all Charlie !

At last ...

I've finished the last item of this fabulous SAL : the SKoW needle book !

Outside :

Inside :

I wanted it matching my sewing case :

Now it's done !!

And here are all the wonderful works we have made all along this year :

A huge THANK YOU to Chookyblue and Susan and all the ladies who have joined this wonderful adventure !!

I'm ready for the next one….. and you ?????

Florence

I surprised myself !

One day late ...but I've done it !!

It was a big challenge for me : zip + round shape ..... I love the result and will make more without any doubts !!

Florence

Winter in July !

I made the stitchery during my holidays....

... started the bag when I came back home...

and finally finished it today !!!

 

 It is sooo hot these days that I was happy to make this refreshing project !!

Florence

June in time !

Done for June !

One more pincushion in Tilda fabrics :

As I don't have crushed walnuts shells (and I even don't know if we can find some in France...) I stuff it like a cushion :

A quick and cute project !
