Needle Case - Tick

 

Life has been pretty hectic but I did manage to get my needle case finished a few weeks ago, but forgot to blog about it........ story of my life at the moment.

 

            

I did get my June pincushion finished,

 I posted it on my own blog but forgot to put it on here - sorry ladies!

 

 

I have really enjoyed being part of the SAL journey, I only had to use one pass (July hexie bag). I haven't been as active in my participation as I would have liked - study has been getting in the way. However if Chooky was to do it again next year - then please count me in!

No study for me next year.   

 

I would also like to show off my SKoW quilt that is finished. I love it!!!!

 

Thankyou to the talented Belinda Betts for her wonderful quilting

 - it really makes the quilt pop!

 

Thankyou to everyone for sharing this journey, I have really enjoyed seeing everyone's interpretations of the projects.

 

Take Care - Ann x





Thank You

Thank You Chooky for providing this opportunity. Just thought I would share my projects in total.    

MIA - well in UK atm

Well done to all those ladies who have completed their projects. I ran out of time with organising my market goodies before we left for overseas last weekend. I have them at the top of my list of things to do when we return in November.

Sorry girls

I didn't make it.

Life got in the way.

Maybe another time.

Anyway thank you all for the company and the cheering along the path.

Hope to see you again somewhere in Cyberspace.

Better Late Than Never

I have completed my needle case, a little late, but Oh well.... Sewing should be stress less....

Thank you Chooky for a great stitch along. This is the first one I have ever done and it did make me get motivated to finish projects. I have completed them all and given some away as gifts already.
It was also a great way to complete more than one project out of those beautiful books.  thanks for organising it for us.

 Thank you to all the ladies who participated , I have enjoyed looking at your stitching and  seeing your  creativity in  each project.      Happy Stitching.

Off to a good start... should never leave things to the last minute.

I have tried to use mostly fabrics deigned by Anni

I'm stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm stitching!!!!!!!!! Very slowly, I know, like a turtle, but I'm stitching!!!!!!!!!!

Final SAL completed.

Here is my completed needle book. 

I am very thankful to Chookyblue for letting me join in the SAL. I am happy to complete all months with no Ps recorded. 

Thank you. There have been some fantastic projects made this year. Well done everyone. 

September SAL Project

Hi all - finished .my  September project, the Anni Downs needlecase just in the knick of time. Have enjoyed the SAL thanks Chooky.

I chose to use the same fabrics I used in the sewing bag from last month instead of the small squares.

Cheryl

miserable........

Miserable.......

....pretty much sums up how I feel ("hayfever" is killing me) and also about finishing my SAL projects.......my attempts have been made with some progress but no finishes.......

Anyway I have a few posts to catch up on............looked but not yet commented and you have some lovely finishes........

i'll do a better post when I stop sneezing....also some of you are so close so we'll add a few weeks on to get some more finishes then I will sign off for the year.......

Keep stitching if you have not finished.....

Chookyblue...........

PS pass me another box of tissues.........

All completed

Thanks to Chookyblue and Susan for coordinating a great year of projects! I've finished my needle book, only need to sew the button and loop: tis a finish for me!!! Was my first stitchalong and although I cursed a few deadlines I completed all nine projects! Yay me!!

Hi girls, I'm so late :-(
I think to end next week but unfortunately I'm not sure. I'm sorry Chookyblue and to all.
Hugs from Italy, Emanuela

Second pass for me please

 

 

Hi Guys... Sorry but I need to use my second pass... between retreats, birthdays and going over to Vanuatu... I didn't have time to even start... I still going to make it, and when I finish will post a photo.

 

Thanks

I didnt think I would make it....

but I most certainly did!

I decided (given the tight time frame) not to piece any of it but I am so happy with how it has turned out.

A huge thank you to Miss Chooky and her offsider Susan who without a lot of organisation and whip cracking I know I wouldnt have nearly as many projects completed.

Needlebook Finished.

Here are some photos of my Anni Downs needle book. All finished except for the button. In my button box, I have a collection of all sorts of buttons so it is hard to believe I can't find one the right colour or size for this. Will have to buy one when I next go to the shops.

Now to work on my August bag and hopefully finish that soon so I can clean my 2013 slate by having finished all the projects.
A BIG THANK YOU to Chooky and Susan for keeping us in check over the last few months. I have enjoyed being a part of this 2013 SAL.
Hugs Noela.

Post to come

I am travelling home today after a few days away. Will post my finish later this evening. 

Sorry

Sadly i must use my pass... things didn't happen the way i respect and the time run out and i just made a part of the embroidery .....

this was my frist SAL and i love to participate .
Thank you girls

September (almost) Done

Due to lack of thread...grrrrr.....I can't complete my needle case but here it is in its current state...

I have ordered some silk of the colour I wanted, so hopefully, it will be close enough to the original and I can finish the heart and applique it on.

I didnt piece the front section - but I did do the middle of the back - forgot to photograph that - I'll do that when I get the heart done.

So, Miss Chookyblue, I know you can't sign me off for September - but I had good intentions.

Thanks to everyone who has joined in the 2013 SAL - it has been a lot of fun - I have made things I would never have made, learnt a lot and made e-friends from all over.  And I had even more fun cracking the whip...

A huge thankyou to Chookyblue, I love the fact that you do this and hope you can keep us going for another year/project....though I am more than happy to wait til at least mid December....too many things happening now....

                                                         Chookyblue, for you:

This stitchalong....

.... has been so much fun......
(well they all are but I did enjoy making the other smaller projects in the books)

I chose not to piece the fabric for the front and used some sewing themed fabric ....... 

the stitching is done in Cottage Garden Thread "Cranberry" .... 

... some felted blanket wool for the needle patch....

... I was delighted to find a perfect button which matched the fabric and just did a little plaited rope to wind round the button ....

.... thanks Chookyblue and all the encouragers on the blog.....

Righto, Gotta Go..... I'm going to miss sewing with you all...... 'till next time!

 

A little cheating !

As I won't be able to finish my last work in time, I show you the needle case I made for my friend Vanessa last year...

This is our last pattern !

As soon I'll have a new one I'll show it ! I promise !

Presenting .... da da-da DAH!!!! ... My 'sewing' block!!

Well now, it's almost 11pm, so I'm off to prep up my next block 😜 ... I'm aiming to have them all finished by the end of next week so I can spend the weekend putting it all together!!
