My Tis the Season

finished 

Thanks so much Chooky for the occasional prod

looking forward to the next one :)

to answer a question

this baby is 100% machine quilted

my hand quilting leaves alot to be desired ;)

 

We have a Top

I finally got to play in my new sewing room yesterday

and today

yesterday I finished a wall hanging top for my

youngests room

and today well I shall let the picture speak

for itself

tomorrow I will find my bundle of batting

and spend the day quilting it.

yippee I am on track to have it finished in time

So Close

I have spent the last few nights under the heater stitching my

TTS blocks, today I have one lonely block to stitch.

and the other blocks now look like this

just waiting for the top row to be joined and borders.

Look Chooky I am all caught up xx

Catching Up Time

Well I have to confess my plans to take my TTS on our trip didn't happen

I left it on my sewing table in the rush to get out the door the day we left

I only realised what I had done when I went back to the car

before we sailed to get it and couldn't find it.

Now we are home I have been so busy with the last few days

of school holidays, birthays, the girlies social lives and then getting

them back to school today.

I did make it in my sewing room today to finish a project that has been

waiting for months to be done, found a few other UFO's including

TTS and I have vowed to start nothing new until my UFO's are done

and TTS is up to date....which should be soon as they

are so little and are quick to stitch.



March Blocks finished

I wasn't sure I was going to get these done in time

but YAY I did

Now to get Aprils done on time.



I am ready

I have finally chosen my fabrics

I went with a mix of Rural Jardin, Luna Notte

and some other moda goodness

please excuse Henrycat who took a liking to the pile of fabric

I am also stitching in 221, and I bought a new Clover blue pen

to trace with.

Now to start tracing........

I'm Semi Ready

I have the book

I have the threads

and that is as far as I have gotten

oops

luckily I am taking a trip to one of my favourite

LPS tomorrow, so I am sure to come home

with what I need

having confessed my SAL sins, lol

I will be ready to go tomorrow night

(fingers crossed)

and to all those who are still stitching their

Gardeners' Journal

keep going, you can do it

and I am loving seeing all the finished GJ quilts making their

appearances.

The Pressure is on

To get this finished in 4 weeks. I have just booked it in to be quilted :) so happy I

only have 3.5 blocks left to stitch.

I finally have pieced September and Octobers blocks and joined them to their partners.

Block B

Block F

So close to finishing I am starting to get excited.



Sidetracked.....again

it seems it doesn't take much to sidetrack me at the moment lol.

BUT

I am back on track again.

I have September and October's blocks done I just need to piece them, which is tomorrows plan.

Novembers blocks are traced  and ready for me to start stitching tomorrow night

who knows maybe I will get Decembers blocks stitched before the end of the month too.

I'll be back tomorrow with my pieced blocks.

Its getting exciting to be so close to finishing.

Block H done and dusted

I've finally had time in the sewing room to get this done

its actually straight its just my wonky pinning to the design wall

still stitching away at block F

I am joining the blocks as I can, is anyone else doing this???

Blocks C and D

are now finished YIPPEE and they have been joined.

,

that leaves me with Block H to sew together and I am currently stitching Block F

and I only have 1 and  bit of block F left to stitch :)

Happy to be back on track and caught up

Ta Da

June's blocks

July's blocks

half of August's blocks

Pulling the weeds is finished too as of 10 minutes ago :)

and as I am on a stitching roll I thought I would

get a head start on September's blocks.

but the beast has had to go in for a clean and a service

so I can't piece the blocks until it is home and hopefully that

will be the end of this week

I love rainy, cold weather

Back on Track

At last.

The Dog, the homestead and the flower wreath are stitched I just need to piece them which is tomorrows job.

July's blocks are traced and ready to be stitched. I did that tonight with Henry cats assistance

Fingers crossed the weather stays wet then I might just get August's blocks done.

So Far Behind

Here it is almost the end of July and I haven't even finished June's blocks......I have done the doghouse and 3/4 of the house though.

I thought I would get back into it tonight while I watch Masterdhef but I can't find my threads anywhere, so I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow night to continue after I buy some more.

I will definately have to get my skates on to catch up and hopefully by the end of August I will be back on track.

Love seeing what everyone is doing, all are looking fabulous.

Block A is finally done

I have had the stitcheries completed since April, but its taken me until tonight to actually getting around to putting it together

A Finish

Aprils block

A Question

Is anyone going to sew the blocks as they go?

I am because then I KNOW it will get finished lol, thats my logic anyway

the bird bath.

Managed to get the threads I was missing too.
