Life is getting busy again

 The days are going by so quickly, seems to be my constant comment!

Progress has been made on the Old Time Kaleidoscope, all the EPP is done, now I need to cut borders and applique the whole EPP section on.


I am stitching on the last blue hexie piece and need to make more hexies for the next row.

A collection of School Girl sampler blocks finished last week

Betty's Medallion has two more borders, I am finding the instructions for this quilt a bit confusing, hence Jack the Ripper has made several visits!

This is the centre block for a Mystery quilt for the Geelong Guild, we had to buy fabrics first and then start our first month, this is going to be interesting and a challenge!

Anthology blocks for last week



Sylvia's Bridal Sampler block, I seem to have some kind of block when it comes to sewing half square triangles, so Jack visited several time during the making of this block too!

Ingrid came to visit on the weekend, we had a great time chatting and catching up and in between sewed up Schoolgirl Sampler blocks

This was another challenge, the half square triangles got me again, Ingrid took this one off me on Saturday evening and we revisited Sunday morning after some unpicking.

I thought I had a handle on Flying Geese but this block gave me a challenge too, I am happy it is done!
It is Anthology day again today, but first I have to go clean the house, I was dusting and then thought I would do a blog post as you do!

  1. I so agree with you Sue ... I was thinking this morning how fast the days & the weeks go by. I am loving all your blocks but especially love your Schoolgirl Sampler blocks. I feel so envious when Ingrid comes to stay & you girls get to sew. (envious in a nice way). Love the quote at the end.

  12. More fun to do that Anthology block I reckon, rather than dusting, but I guess you will feel good when it is done.
