Saturday morning I joined in with Chooky and her zoom party
It was great to catch up with ladies I knew and to meet new ones.
Four more stars to add to the collection
I did some epp in the morning and crochet in the evening. I had to pop in and out as we had the grand dog visiting and he needed some entertaining, plus it was a beautiful afternoon so some gardening and pruning happened and a little quilting was done as dinner was cooking. My crochet is a bit wavy, I must have added too many stitches at some stage, but I have pulled it out three times so far, will just see what happens now as it grows.
Last Thursday I made another block for Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, this one was made using foundation paper piecing so went together quite quickly.
I finished off this quilt top from Susan I used the serpentine stitch every second row, the binding was done yesterday afternoon and the label sewed on last night. I hope to do another hospital delivery on Wednesday when we have to go into Geelong, after midnight Wednesday we are back into restrictions on where we go and what we do.
I had better be off and get the shopping list organised and the library books to be returned, hubby will be back from his walk soon and ready to head out again.
Happy stitching.
Your stars are growing and I love your quilt....hope Hank enjoyed his stay and spoiling xx
ReplyDeleteThe zoom party looks fun and productive. The number of new coronavirus cases is going up in Japan too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pieces. Love the finished quilt and the stars. I never get crotchet straight! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to join in with the zoom party but Saturday was just not good for me. Sounds like fun though. xx
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see you in the zoom party.
ReplyDeleteWow, that finished quilt is so bright and pretty.
Gardening, grand dog visiting, crochet and epp - sounds like a fun day! I like the combination of grey and purple in your block, very unusual. The finished quilt and the stars are lovely!

Was lovely catching up on Saturday.. You managed to get a fair bit day...
ReplyDeleteLove the bright quilt...
stay safe ...
You've been busy Sue. Is that the Sylvia from Elm Creek Quilts? I love those books and have the whole set. Not sure how many times I have read them. We had a zoom party for Friday night drinks with the NOTY girls as we should have been on retreat. Not the same as seeing them in person but we still had fun. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects, one and all. I especially like the contrasting colors in the bridal block! I think one of the silver linings of the pandemic is having the opportunity to meet some bloggers via ZOOM. I am not sure folks would have initiated these meet-ups without the pandemic! Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have made good progress. Good to catch you at Chooky's zoom party and thinking of you all over the border. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteGood work. I only got on to Zoom that day for a very short time. It's always a great time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tea bag strings. They will go well in between the darker ones I have here.
It is so fun to see a photo of the zoom session I missed. Familiar faces were fun to pick out as well. I miss hearing all of your wonderful Auzie accents.
ReplyDeleteso pleased you got the retreat in before restrictions returned......
ReplyDeleteyour doing a great job on those stars while zoom sewing.......
Sue, I must have missed this post - good to see you have been able to finish off the jelly roll quilt.
