The KOGO Blanket is finished and ready to go in the mail, I have been walking every day so far, we have had a beautiful sunny calm, but chilly week, perfect for enjoying some time outside.
I finished this book, enjoyed the story except for the bits about the way the Zoo animals were treated in WW2, I understand why but it was not nice to read.
While taking a photo of the hexie mystery quilt I realised one of the brown with yellow edging pieces in sewn on the wrong way, so some unsewing had to happen and now it is fixed!
Hexie production continues in the evenings.
This weeks Anthology blocks have been made
Yesterday Hubby made it into the local newspaper with the other guys from the local chess group
Yesterday afternoon I quilted this quilt made by Wendy from the Guild, I used the Serpentine stitch along the seams, the quilt has a lovely squishy feel to it now. This will be for the oncology ward.
I am going to attempt to put another border on the Guild mystery quilt this afternoon, so had better get my skates on.
Happy stitching.
I always admire your wonderful stitching and quilting. Glad your hubby was in the newspaper. And love the joke at the end, great! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood news for the chess group. Sorry about the unseeing and great work on the other quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove that hexie quilt. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good read…wonder if it’s on audiobook?
ReplyDeletePleased you saw the mistake and we’re able to fix it…
I use that stitch when quilting but didn’t realise it was Serpentine Stitch.
Good progress with your blocks…
Don't you just hate it when you have to undo something like that. Worth the effort though. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely hexies. I do like the quilt with all the rectangles. xx
ReplyDeletefunny how you notice mistakes in photo's but not always when you look at it directly.... woohoo to the famous husband!! love that blocks quilt you quilted.... certainly keeping busy....

Well done on getting the blanket sewn up. I always avoid reading and watching anything to do with animals.....they are often very sad and cruel. Your hexies are growing at a good rate. Nice article about hubs and his chess group.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to read about animal treatment from the past. I am glad you otherwise enjoyed the story. The hexie piece is looks amazing!! Congratulations to hubby! That's so wonderful! Love the happy feel of the finished quilt and your blocks. The b&w one made me think of chess actually. Lastly of course the pups made me smile!!

Loving the hexie progress but it would have been a pain having to unpick it. Your blocks are lovely and congrats to hubby.
ReplyDeleteJust as well you spotted the little oops now. You can really see the effect of the colours as it is growing . I love it. I read “The Zookeepers Wife”, set in the Warsaw Zoo in WWII. Also sad about the animals. The scrappy quilt looks really effective. A simple but effective pattern and the colours work well.
ReplyDeleteAnthology is still moving along nicely. Your hexi quilt is amazing. It is good to find mistakes early on for sure.
ReplyDeleteI saw a movie about that not so long ago....felt the same! Your hexies are looking wonderful as is Anthology. Congratulations to your media star xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely hexies and quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood luck reverse stitching...... Looking forward to seeing how this mystery develops......
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how you don't notice when looking at it but see it in the photo? I really like this hexie project! How cool to have a famous husband!
