My humble beginnings!

Finally I can show a couple of blocks I have done for the Some Kind Of Wonderful SAL. I was starting to think I would never get started but Chooky....I have! Here are 3 blocks and I have 3 others done but the wording just needs stitching.
It can only be full steam ahead from now on :)



On to the next ones...
hugs to all

Finally started and Happy Christmas


Last minute shopping was done yesterday and lots of baking ready for tonight and for Sydney. Today feels a  bit more relaxed as there is just dinner to organise. I was a bit tired last night but managed to finally start my Some Kind of wonderful quilt! Only a week to go and there are lots of blocks to do but I am pleased I have begun. Might just get another block ready today!
I have really enjoyed seeing everyone's progress and hope to get a few more blocks done next week! Have a very happy Christmas.

Patty cakes so delicious!







I finished the first appliquè. So cute! I heart it! I love that pastel colour! I never used pastel colours, even if I would to, because I heart Fig Tree quilts and that atmosphere! And now I can see the real effect and I think it's so cute! :)

Almost done

4 down 1 to go :)

Singing in the rain, very appropriate for today as we
got caught in the rain without an umbrella


of course before the rain we stopped for
a cup of tea, not really I had coffee


 and I found the cherries, so our patty cakes
are finished


I am just about to go and get the suitcase ready.

Happy Stitching

Patty Cakes anyone

I prepared this block and the umbrella block yesterday
and I did the cherries too, sadly when it came to add the
cherries they had vanished, and are still missing
so I will add them tonight



my umbrella block is almost ready for sharing
I just need to do the stitching and applique
one more side of the brolly down.

Tonight I will be stitching down some binding on a
new couch quilt
and then I'll start the tea cup block.

They are really quick to do once you get started :)
