And now for Block F

Another one to cross off my list.  They are coming together nicely.  Looking forward to start connecting them into one

I need time to do this soon

Take some time out to smell the flower that are blossoming at the moment.  

Cheers Kez

Slow and steady,

she goes....just traced off a few more blocks, ready to stitch, getting there slowly, maybe not so steadly, but I am getting there.

Block F Done

I'm so happy to get Block F done with so much of the month left!

Happy stitching!

Another complete

Yay I have another complete.  Block I. This is so much fun.  Back to he sewing room

Cheers Kez

May I have a 'D' please?

Yahoo! Another one done. Now there are only 4 to go!
Like a few others, I'm starting to think ahead to the quilting. I know a number of ladies are going to get theirs done by others. I am trying to work up the courage to do some free motion quilting on it. At one stage I was even thinking about hand quilting it, but it has a 2011 finish date, not 2111!
Off to stitch,

Five days late, not that bad!!!

Finally finished Block D.  August was a very slow month for stitching and it feels like it took forever to stitch these two stitcheries.  Here it is.

And then I looked at the block setting and put two blocks together. 

It's so exciting to be able to put a couple blocks together.  I have the stitcheries traced and off to stitch for the next block!  Happy stitching to all!!!

Well Girls, I've finally completed Block D!

What a great stitch-a-long this is.

So many lovely quilts being made.

I'm inspired to keep sewing when I see them all.

Thanks...... Lynda C

Block F....done!

This burst of winter weather has been good for something!  I have finished Block F.....which means I am actually ahead of schedule!  I can see the end in sight for this project now and can't wait to start putting the blocks together...I have made a pact with myself to finish all the stitcheries first.......

Made a start on Block B last night and hope to finish it tonight while I am watching the footy.........

'Til next time.................Lorraine

A Very Quiet 'Taaaa daaaa'

Thank you for all the lovely comments that were left after my last post, I just thought I'd sneak this little picture in ( shhhh - I've finished the top). 
The weather outside was frightful and I just got into the groove.  Sue turned up for Sit'n Stitch day and the two of us just got stuck in and both of us completed what we aimed to do (don't you just love it when a plan comes together?).  So once this top was finished I clambered on top of one of the chairs (it's a wonder the chair didn't break) to get an all over pic to show.  Within the next couple of days I hope to get it quilted, or at least start the quilting.

Chookyblue thank you so much for organising this stitch-a-long, would you believe it,once I had finished this top I remembered and then found the previous attempts at starting it - oh well, they will just have to be turned into something else ; ))
kindest regards and warm hugs

Quiet Chatter

I'm going to let the photo do the talking to begin with...Sorry, I can't help myself I've just gotta shout wahoo!!! Now the other picture is the inner border fabric choice I've made, which will hopefully get put on tomorrow and my focus fabric for the outside border and binding. This little quilt is quietly chatting to me telling me that it really would like a gentle meandering stitch done for the quilting, mmmm, it would be an easy option but I'm not quite sure.

The weather has been so darned cold here not to mention the rain, that it would be almost criminal not to take advantage and spend the day sewing.  The ladies that come to the shop for 'Sit'n Stitch' days three times a week are really enjoying keeping up with how everyone on the blog is going, not to mention how far I'm going.  They even offer their ideas on border fabric and quilting designs, it really is lovely having friends sharing your success.

I hope you have lots of back up too,

hugs

Another Block Finished...

Today, I put together block I.

I still have to do the first block over.

Then I can finish putting the quilt top together and put on the borders.

I Just Couldn't Help Myself

So, here's the deal... the machine was running without a hitch, dinner was made and cooking in the oven, the housework would have still been there the following day and as for the dust, well I can rearrange it any old time.  So I just sat and sewed and sewed and look what happened.   Wahoo, just two more blocks to go (actually one and a half left but I just got 'over' the piddly 1 1/2" squares for a while).  It's so exciting seeing the whole thing come together and I'm even letting it talk gently to me about how it wants to be quilted.
By the way, do you remember ages ago when I pieced a block upside down?  Well, I never did fix it and I don't think it looks that bad. Can you find it? Does it look OK?
cheers

What Kept Me Busy

I am a bit behind on Chooky's attack plan and now's the time to tell you why.

This week-end we had our annual guild meeting in Denmark and I have been stitching a BIG project for my local shop during the summer. Take a look here and see for yourself. I have been doing a few other things which will be revealed during this week.

By the way I met up with Jytte R at the meeting. Unfortunately none of us was thinking of pictures at the time.

I just need a little more stitching on my vege path and block number 4 will be done. I'll be back in a few days.

Up date from Dale blocks D,E F & H

I've really been working hard this month, just one to go which I have started.Hopefully I will get the quilt together for September.

YES!! I made it : Keeping the plan of attack :-)

Well..... back from Festival of Quilts in UK,things are almost back to normal for me. It was such a lovely experience,peaceful and at the same time exciting, concentrating only on quilting for days. Now the usual things around me,and the Garden Journal is shaping up!
I do not know about September yet, but above you can see my Block D,
and




a good feeling inside showing you block C and D sewn. I have noticed that some of you already have done so. Hurrah, I am so glad that I finally have two together !!!
I`ll be back sooooon with block F. Well,have just started though, but planning to working hard in September!!

HAPPY STITCHING to you all :-)

Seed sowing time.......

Hi there everyone, at last I can get an "H' added ........... some seed packets and tools stitched just in time for spring!  I'm looking forward to getting the real thing underway out in the garden, things are definitely starting to 'spring' into life around here quickly now.

There has been some awesome progress in the last couple of weeks, it amazes me how there are so many styles and colours appearing, I love the personal touches some have been adding to really make their quilt their own! 

Till next time, happy stitching,  Nicky

Another One Bites The Dust

...and another one done, another one done, another one bites the dust, yeah!
 Ooops, sorry I'm getting a wee bit carried away with a 'Queen' song but it seems just so appropriate.
Please Miss Chooky, may I now have an 'F'?
thank you
Miche'le

thank you

Thank you I did manage to get a copy from a friends online shop here in Tassie.
Hope everybody is enjoying their weekend

Help Please

Hi Girls,
Can anyone tell me where I can get another copy of A Gardners Journal ? I have given away the original and only have a copy with some pages missing, I thought I'd copied them all before sending off the original to the U.S.A, now my local shop has no copies left.
Hugs

Still behind, but TWO more blocks to add to Collection.

You see, I really am not much of a green thumb, so have to keep adjusting the pattern to my needs.  I couldnt resist changing the house to something similiar I used to live in the country a few years back.  I am only a few behind now, so if I dont keep dawniefying, then I should be caught up soon.

Block C - June

Block B - October
