Hiccups


I've had a few hiccups on the road of life these past couple of months but I am determined that this project will not become another UFO !!

I spent the weekend getting my MAY blocks finished and I'm hoping to make a start on June later today.  It would be nice to have them finished by the end of the month but I'm not promising anything.  It feels so much better to be back up to date if only for a few days LOL.

Last month I had the wrong butterfly and my initial … that should be in this month.. OH well!… at least they are done!


I had a lovely stitching day with friends today ...with lots of birthday surprises and these fabulous patty cakes.. ...Happy birthday to the chookshed too!!

Almost Done....

With the blocks for May...I hope to finish them up during the party over on Chooky's blog this weekend...will post pics when I find my camera charger and get the battery charged...I have not been able to find it since my trip, hoping I did not leave it in the hotel. That said, I will now have a cuppa and sit to stitch a while.

Sewing all day


I finished the first May block. I heart it! Love the subject, the details, the colours! And I made an exagonal variation! So small and cute! :)

P.S. Hey, girls! Sometimes Anni Downs forget some details, so you can see little differences between the finished quilt and the pattern. For example, here there is a screw on the scissors!

Marica´s block update...

Slowly, slowly I got finish my blocks for the quilt but I´m not sure if  I´ll finish it in time. 
But you never know ;-)
I have seen many beautiful finished quilts and many who are about to be finished:)
and they all have their own charm though we have assumed the same pattern ..
Good luck to complete your projects :)


See you later!

After a small day surgery operation and nearly a week resting, I can finally say I'm feeling much better and getting back to normal. I can't say this time off was put to good use but I did manage to get my MAY Blocks completed.



This makes a total of 7 Blocks for me



Please add two more blocks to my list please Donna. I do hope everyone else is keeping on track. I'll check out all recent posts soon.

May Blocks!

I wanted to have my blocks finished early this month, as I have plans to make some of the smaller projects from the book, but using brighter fabrics.

Colours can be so deceiving in photos as the outer border spot fabric on the penquin block, is the same colour (but just bit lighter) as the inner border on the angel block, but in the photos it looks totally different


This is my favourite so far, the Angel is just so sweet!


I am enjoying seeing everyones progress!
