Done it!!

Missed the whip with hours to spare!!
Having a retreat weekend at a winery!!  (just a little wine between stitches)....

Put in a big effort in the wee hours this morning..and wallah!!.... Feb finished!

Just a little setback....was that too much wine??

Cheers Lea

Made It!!

Here it is the end of February and I made it! 
The blocks are all finished  -  ironing  and trimming them to size will happen later tonight.......

 I have done a little needleturn applique before and decided to use this method for the NJ quilt - my journey through this quilt I think will be perfecting the method - a few squared off hearts here - oops! 
Am enjoying seeing all the finished blocks... keep up the good work.

Happy Stitching!

February Procrastination

As usual… I'm dragging the chain!

I actually can't decide what to do!

As I thought I'd like a retro effect… I thought I'd put ric rac circles around my appliqué.
I found a lovely linen ric rac..but now think it looks too heavy.. Also I bought all they had.. now I don't think there will be enough for the small squares  :(

Then I found a lovely small blue ric rac…. stitched it on with grey thread… and it looks too solid!! even when I use blue thread… you can't see the little waves….

I'm loving everyone else's work… do you think I should give up and blanket stitch????

I've also just had cataract surgery on my right eye last Thursday…(and the left eye 4weeks ago) so seeing anything close up is a little frustrating at the moment!!..

Does this mean I can get an extension Chooky???? PLEASE?????
