Natures Journey Update

With the deadline looming I am sorry to say I won't be meeting it!

While in retreat recently I managed to get most of the centre block complete.





I have left the dragon fly and the butterfly. I won't be adding those little extras.

I am off to stitching tonight and have packed my NJ box. So tonight's plan is to
- cut the border
- trace and cut the diamonds and hopefully
- prepare the border for the diamonds.

I am not one for excuses but with work commitments and the uni course I haven't been able to balance time. I have taken a week off work in the hope that I can knock over the final essay for this course and then I can focus on NJ.

Well done to everyone as the progress is amazing.

Natures Journey

I definitely won't be making the deadline of having this block completed by this evening.

I am certainly giving it a red hot go.

June (part 5 complete)

I have finally completed part five.




Now to get a move on with part six

Chooky please mark me off.

Simone.

Making progress

Here is an update of part 5. I am just about to appliqué the pieced pieces to their backgrounds.

Background pieced together

I am so pleased I had some time to piece my background. I didn't read the instructions properly and had to piece the large block back together. But I am happy with the result.




I haven't finished June blocks.

I have moved house! I am now back on the mortgage pathway. I am very excited to be in a great house.

This is my living area. Photo is taken leaning up against the kitchen bench.




I am nearly all sorted and can now start back on these blocks.

So glad to be back. Now I need to catch up in all the posts I have missed.

May blocks completed

I have been somewhat distracted of late; travelling for work, attempting to complete an assignment for university.

One success I can share are my May blocks and they are completed.














I like how they have turned out and have already cut out June blocks ready to start.

Mark me off please Chooky.

Natures Journey Part Three

This weekend I finished part three of Natures Journey.

I am loving using the iron on appliqué paper and the appliquick tools.






My blocks are slowly improving. Chooky please mark me off the sidebar as being finished.

Now to prepare April.

March Update

I read the email and I have posted! I don't like the sound of the whip cracking.

So far, yes with two days to go...

Blocks completed.





Blocks needing to be completed.




I have had a huge month travelling with work as well as trying to get an 2000 word essay completed.

It is in draft form so I am going to spent an hour or so this afternoon working on the incomplete blocks before I begin to edit.

I am definitely enjoying the journey.

Making some progress

Working on blocks for part one.

One thing I am challenged with is centring the pieces. I guess as time goes on this may not be as much of a problem.

If anyone has any tips be happy to accept them.

Very excited....

Hello fellow stitch-a-long ladies.

I posted this on my blog and not on the stitch-a- long blog. Fingers crossed it works this time.

My name is Simone. I live in central New South Wales.
I love Anni Downs patterns and have completed a few quilts.

I am joining up with this Stitch-a-long in the hope of finishing what looks like a great quilt. I haven't done an Anni Quilt for a while.

I participated in the stitch a long two years ago making all of those great small projects.

I am looking forward to watching everyone do this quilt.

I have ordered my pattern and have begun searching for fabrics.
I am away at the moment so don't really know what goodness I have.

August tick

I am so pleased I chose to skip the stitching on the sewing case and fussy cut babushka dolls. I love how the case has turned out. 

I will be making this case again!
