Susan (dezertsuz): Not Quite There

I have everything stitched down, but I still need to do the hand stitching and the squares around. Here's my picture as of tonight:
 

  Yep, backwards, and yes, I do know what causes that. LOL It'll be fine. I'm going on a two-day temple trip to Atlanta and plan to stitch on the 4 hours there and the 4 hours home. Maybe Thursday night in the motel, if I have any energy left, too. Might finish it, who knows!

August - Susan Oh 2 Sew

Here is my August block....no eyes on the gingerbread man yet - maybe some embroidery to add later.
I have changed the position where this one will sit in the quilt so the sashing blocks are the opposite to the pattern.

I hope everyone is enjoying their stitching.

My progress

I am attempting to make to make two of these quilts designed by our very talented amazing Michelle….

One for each of my grandbabies families….

I do struggle with needle turn, so I am doing the good old buttonhole stitch…

Have a fab day….Peg

August .....

June July and August

June and July blocks were completed a couple of weeks ago.

I decided to piece all my blocks when I was doing these two as I had the time then.

August block was finished today .

Stitching Fun ..   De

Susan: July Block

It was finished, but I was staying where I couldn't access wifi - first vacation in 7 years! So, here it is in all its glory.

June and July Blocks

Loving everyone's blocks and all so different. Here are my June and July blocks.  Now for some reason I had it in my head July was the Gingerbread block, so will swap those around. Cheryl

 

Just the stitchery to do.

 

 

Hello .....

 hello to you all....

So we are now at August, and our lovely block Christmas Blessings with a star and a heart aswell.

(I've just added the picture of the plan on the sidebar which hopefully makes it easier to see)

This block has a bit more applique than the ones we did before...

I have started by doing my star first and am now working on the heart....

Anyway - just popping in to remind you I am always watching and whipping!!

Righto, Gotto Go... that heart needs stitching!

Using Christmas Thread.

Hello my friends.

I have been unwell with flu the last few weeks.

No stitching at all till late yesterday :(

I decided after seeing Fiona`s Stocking block

to use a Christmas thread for wording.

One of my sister`s gave me 

Cottage Garden Thread : Mistletoe

as part of my gift last Christmas.

I thought it suited July`s block,

so I am using it in this quilt.

I will re stitch block one`s words to match.

I am so pleased with this block.

The stand and topping have gold thread which makes it sparkle.

I used DMC 3052 for tie and back stitching of holly.

The blanket stitch on holly is DMC 936. 

The pudding DMC 3047.

Heart DMC 816.

Berry 221.

I have cut out my applique pieces for next block.

I only need to work out what size my background piece is to be.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

My July finish in August

As one of those who is supposed to be cracking the whip, I thought I'd better get myself organised and post my finished July block.

How are the rest of you doing with your blocks? Now that it's August it's time to start thinking about the Blessings block - plus a star plus a heart!

Happy stitching :-)
