I was up bright and early (for me) and joined in with Chooky's zoom party, the girls had been sewing and chatting for a couple of hours by the time I got there.
It was lovely to sit and sew and catch up with people I haven't seen for a few years as well as the regular zoomers.
People came and went through the day depending on what else was happening.
I managed to attach the last three green and orange hexie flowers and then started on the dark purple fillers. By about 2pm my fingers were sore so I said goodbye to the ladies and went to have a cuppa and a read.
The Minions quilt is finally finished, I have been dithering over this all week!
Here is todays Anthology block
Friday 1st October is World postcard day, so I thought I would have a little play with fabric and stitches on the machine and create a postcard to send on the day. Just needs to have its edging finished off.
Here are all the kids dressed and ready to go
And a few hexie flowers for tea and cake, which I keep calling tea and toast!
Right I have seen a new quilt idea and I am keen to have a go at it before dinner has to happen.
Happy stitching.
It was lovely to see you on Saturday. You have lots of nice show and tell. Good luck with the new quilt idea.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to join in the Zoom party, it's a fun way to meet up with people. You did some beautiful stitching again! hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great Zoom catch up with lots of ladies… 🥲
ReplyDeleteGood to have the Minons done ..
Lots of hand stitching on your other projects…
Nice postcard…..
Wonder what the new project is ??
Well done on finishing Minions. Love those purple fillers and pretty fabrics in teacake. The "kids" look very cute in their clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of minions, love your quilt.
ReplyDeleteHexies are growing nicely and is that another hexie project?
can't wait to see what your new project is.....
Hopefully we'll get to meet up with you Gisborne girls soon but for now zoom is wonderful
It was good to see you in Zoom.
ReplyDeleteLove your hexies.
Wow, you always have so much going on.
was great to see you on zoom......and your hexie quilt has grown so much over the time.......
ReplyDeleteHow lucky we are with our technology now Sue .. that we can all keep in touch in some form or another. Love your tea & cake & love the wee critters in their knitted jumpers 💕🖤
ReplyDeleteSue - you know, I need to consider if my sisters/sisters in law would want to join a Zoom crafting party. We are so far apart, geographically. It could be a great way to stay connected!
ReplyDeleteYour hexie quilt is coming along beautifully. We need to get Chooky to organise more zooms so we can get our projects finished faster ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see you on zoom, love your hexies you always have so many beautiful projects to show.
ReplyDeleteThe minions are such fun!

Looks like a fun time at the zoom party!! Lovely sewing projects and the Minions quilt is adorable. A gift? Tea and toast - my favourite, specially if it is made with cinnamon sugar.

I’m just catching up with some blogs. It’s great to see everyone having some progress while on zoom.
ReplyDeleteI love all those hexies...they look great in the garden you are creating.
ReplyDeleteMinions is a FuN quilt too... & yes it's always NICE to catch up even if via the zoom app... xox
ReplyDeleteFinally catching up!
The zoom parties are such a nice thing Chooky does for us. They really open our world don't they?
And the Minion quilt finished! I do love them, but the hexies steal the show.
What fun projects ALL of them are. I got buried inside my own head and situation and didn't check blogs for a while, but it was nice to read a few posts today.
ReplyDeleteOnce again I missed the party. It sounds like it was a joy, and you got some great things done. I really love your hexi quilt!
