Another one down, one to go ...

Look Chooky!!  I got my 23rd block finished!!!


I was working on this block, little by little over the course of last week, since finishing off my 'sewing' block.  For some reason I enjoyed the needleturn over the stitchery this time, lol, which felt like it was taking forever *wink* ... especially all that hair!!! *giggle*

I've drawn up some ideas for my last block, but not quite decided yet.  I'm thinking I'll either go with my original choice of wine & cheeses, or my new option: gymnastics (I did it for eleven years from a young age, coached littlies for several years, and now my daugther has been going for over 3 years!!  I LOVE watching it, and often find myself scrutinising the gymnasts as a judge would, lol!).

I'm going to give myself a couple of days to mull over the ideas, and start on the cutting for a pieced quilt for my bed I've been wanting to make for a couple of years while I decide ... I also have WIPs, UFOs and USOs (Un-Started Objects *wink*) to sort through and organise, amongst other things this week.

Have a crafty kinda week xx

Well now, it's almost 11pm, so I'm off to prep up my next block 😜 ... I'm aiming to have them all finished by the end of next week so I can spend the weekend putting it all together!!

I am back again!!






It is a good feeling adding a strip to the quilt and seeing it all start come together! You then become eager to do more and more! Not only have I now caught up to May, but have done half of June and both July blocks! The bird and butterfly (July) blocks I did whilst I was in hospital with my son as they were smaller blocks and easier to pack in the bag!
Bye For Now

Edit Just realized that I still have the sun block to do for July block to be completed
