Still July!

I have been stitching over the last few weeks and finally put the borders on July's Tis the Season blocks. Better late than never!

August time.....

The last of the blocks stitched .....

Here comes Santa.....

and like so many others I have used the Christmas Wreath for a label...

Here they all are together......

that won't be the final layout

but I can start planning....

Lovely seeing so many done.... everyone is so inspirational

Thanks Chookyblue.... great to have them all stitched

It's Finished!!!!

Woo Hoo.... I've finished my quilt.... doin' the Happy Dance!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed stitching all the little blocks and putting this quilt together. Thank you for all the support and lovely comments along the way!!!
I wonder who is going to finish their quilt next......
Happy Stitching!

Quilt Top Finished

Here's my finished quilt top. I'm loving it, very Christmas RED!

That's all 13 stitcheries for me Chooky as I have my quilt label in the mittens block.

Now I need to go back & look at everyones ideas on how to quilt. That is one of those scary subjects in quilting.

Happy stitching

RUNNING BEHIND

I am running behind with my blocks as I have been sewing curtains for my daughter. They are all done and now i hope to catch up on my other sewing projects. there are some lovely blocks being shown on here and looking forward to seeing them finished. Bye for now Jude

Slowly, slowly.

Although I have been very quiet over the year, I have been following the posts.  I have had several curved balls thrown into my life to slow me down with my blocks/quilt. 

I had to order my book from New Zealand as I could not buy the book from any shop in England.  Then I had to travel to several shops to find the right colour thread.  As I live in a rural village, this meant travelling to the nearest city of Plymouth.   I have been stitching slowly but I feel that my work is not as nice as all my fellow bloggers.  All your quilts are wonderful. 

I am really enjoying making this quilt.  I would like to thank Chookyblue for all her encouragement and patience.

August Tis The Season Blocks

Now to join the last blocks and start quilting and binding....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

My assistant Zaphod

I decided to trace off the final block in the Tis the Season set this morning. How lucky Zaphod was on hand to help. Lol.

Apparently the light box is a nice comfy spot.

A LONG TIME AND NO POST!!!!!

I am really sorry, but I am still overwhelmed by trying to blog and do posts etc, but I do want to let you know that I did comit and I  have finished my Tis the Season Quilt - Suzie ......
(note:  says posted by "Dawnie", but it is "Suzie's quilt" - Dawnie just helping out with the posting for me.

July Blocks

Just a little late, though they were stitched in June. With dd’s birthday at the end of June, & 3 more in July in our home, it’s our ‘busy’ month.

gold stars all round...........

Finally I got some time to sit and update the SAL blog................

you girls get a gold star for effort...........

I had to update from Jo's post on the 20th July - 30 posts and comments later I hope you have seen the 4 finished quilts in that time.....and lots of stitching........well done girls............you all get a gold star for effort

keep up the great work...........hopefully I can share mine soon.......life is out of control here at the moment.....basically I come home to eat, wash and sleep and out again........it's not even organise chaos

...I've got the June blocks done a few weeks ago and the July blocks are stitched with one border to add.........and I have started hand stitching August blocks...........both are traced...........

The sidebar is updated and if Jeanette, KateS and Teresa could check their totals as I am not sure i am right.........

If your behind schedule hope you can give it a bit of a push and catch up..........would be great if we could get all the blocks finished in August..........

AND..............

GJ girls..............get stitching............need to see some movement on the sidebar there..............some of you are so close it would be great to get some more finishes...........crack that whip...............LOL.........

Take Care and Happy Stitching...........Chookyblue

FINISHED!

I finally finished Tis The Season (Quilt #1) this morning. I have had the quilting finished on it for a few days but I just needed time to sew the binding on (so I could then spend some time on the couch!!) so I could hand sew it down. I stole some extra time this morning while my babe was sleeping and finished sewing down the hanging pocket.
I found that I hadn't quite finished stitching the star on this block! Oops! I'll have to sink the knots and finish stitching it!!
Thanks heaps to Chookyblue for running the Stitch-A-Long. I haven't finished yet though! I have 12 blocks all stitched and bordered for quilt #2. I'll have to get into that one and have it finished for myself for Christmas!! If I get that one finished on time I may just have to start something new (or finish something old!)!
Thanks girls for the motivation!

July Tis the Season SAL

Phew! Completed my July blocks! I would've posted it yesterday, but it was overcast (pics still came out darker than reality - hmmph).

11 blocks completed - 1 block and 1 stitched label to go!

Now onto Birdie Stitches!

Happy Stitchin'

4 More Blocks

This month I finished 2 more blocks and also put the borders on last month's blocks.  Just 1 more to go and then it will be ready to put together.  I have seen some wonderful colour combinations and some early finishes.  Well done to everyone.  It is so much fun stitching along with you all.  I am looking forward to our next conquest.

Hugs - Fee XX

TTS blocks-July.

cheers

Borders on two of my blocks for my green version of 'Tis the Season

Finally got some borders on the blocks.  I have bought more variegated yarn, so will be able to get back to stitching the blocks - only 3 to go.

Not sure whether to stick to these two colours or put more greens in.  Haven't had the chance to look at how other greens will work.  I'm happy with the look of these two.

Green has never been my colour, so this has been a challenge.  I think it will look ok!

Cheers

Getting there slowly .......

Here are my June blocks finally....... and I'm getting through July's ones too.  Hopefully July will be done before the end of August. lol   

I'm loving all the wonderful colour combinations and even finished quilts already! Wow, they are looking great.  Keep up the great work everyone!

Happy stitching.................... Nicky

TTS July Blocks Finished on Time!!!!!
