This is the little squares block - just have to appliqué circles on to backgrounds.

Love my hexagons.  This was an easy one to get done.

Still working away

Hi Everyone

Just letting you know that I'm still working away On my block back log.  I've pieced my background for the centre block and I've started stitching on the stems.  I've completed all the outlines for the smaller blocks.   And I've been working away on the appliqué centres.

I will try and post some photos but I've had about 4 goes at that and it hasn't worked.  Thoughts I'd better get some info on here to show that I'm still on the planet.

Loving all the beautiful colours I'm seeing on blog posts.  Can't wait to get mine completed.  We are going away this weekend, so hope to get some stitching done.

Cheers

May is finished.... catching up:-)

Dear Girls,

I have finished May and I am half-way with June blocks.   I put away my Natures Journey quilt for a couple weeks, because I had been working on illustrating a children book (my first such challenge).   I really hope to show you soon, it is now nominated on a national competition for illustrators, fingers crossed:D
I really hope and plan to finish June and July this month and catch you up!:-)
Lots of love, wish you all happy and relaxing summer holidays!

Hugs+++++++

May & June

Was determined to get back on track with this one so I have plenty of time for the centre block.... great to be back on track.

I check in here often and have read all posts, love seeing all the quilts coming together!

May Blocks

 

Here are my May blocks, and the June ones are under way. This had a bit of a problem as I wasn't happy with the first flower blocks I did. So I redid them, and it took a bit longer.

Congratulations to everyone for their beautiful blocks. There are going to be some beautiful quilts when we were done.

May Blocks Done and Dusted

Just in the nick of time....phew!

I planned to do most of this month's blocks while joining in with Chookyblue's Chook Shed Birthday Party.

As things often turn out, I didn't have quite as much time to work on them as I thought I would, so it was the usual last minute rush to have my blocks finished.

I'm still having fun using my tiny scraps.

Hopefully I will be a bit more organised next month.  There aren't as many busy weekends as we had in May (so far).

I'm loving seeing all the different colour combinations.  It will be great to see them all finished.

May

Every month I start working hard on my blocks and then I have a dip in the middle so in the end of the month I have to work really hard again! But here is my May blocks.

I changed the small blocks a bit and made two initials instead.

More blocks done !

Made in time this month !!

Little blocks :

and big ones :

All May blocks :

Now on to the next ones !!

....And May is finished!

Earlier this month, in the very beginning, I considered dropping out of the group.  I'm sure if I had done that, Nature's Journey would simply become a UFO...My Birthday was the fourth, my sister had been very ill for a week and they had taken her off the respirator....I prayed she wouldn't die on my Birthday...it was just after midnight on the 5th. We buried her on the 9th.

At that point, I had prepped 2 of the large squares and all of the small.....I'm glad that I didn't quit because, look, today is the 18th and I am finished.

I do not like doing the leaves at all...so you can see my blossoms only have one each....I see that one of the squares for the next section has multiple leaves....I am going to begin with that one, do a couple of the leaves, move on to another square, then come back and do a couple more leaves. That way I can break up the task.
I find myself with a couple of extras: a heart and a hexagon so I may use those for part of the next section.
I went in the craft room this morning to cut some large squares and discovered I'd used all of the fabric, except for a couple of strips for the small squares...so its off to Hobby Lobby for me today.
I have been visiting you all but haven't really commented....you are doing great and I enjoy seeing every one's work.
Happy Stitching,

May ... Hooray!

Instead of  "make hay while the sun shines" ... I "stitched while the showers fall".

For the first time I can say I'm finished my blocks early ... I have no idea how that happened. Loving this quilt and this group ... thank you :o)

May Progress

While I have a quiet moment, thought I'd pop in and share where I am up to for May.

Blanket stitch all done and I've been playing with scraps this morning. So far I've managed to find a different piece of fabric for each applique ... so I need to lay out the previous blocks first to check that I'm not repeating a fabric if I can help it. Loving how they look all together like this.

Sorry I don't get to comment very often as I'm usually making a quick dash through all the posts. I do love seeing all the various colour choices and have many favourites. It's also been a good push for me to keep at it ... happy stitching.
