Slowly

 plugging away here, I finished a quilt on Tuesday for the local Kinship Carers

Made from 6 fat quarters, this has made a tiny difference to my stash!!
And this weeks Anthology block.
I found this cute little guy at the local newsagents, so am in the process of knitting him a vest and then he/she will go off to Jan Mack of Oz Comfort Quilts, it is getting closer to Christmas (gulp) so I am sure cuddly toys will be needed.
I have spent the morning doing domestics and have moved onto making binding, cutting and ironing pieces for another quilt. Now for some lunch and then back to it again.
Happy stitching.

  6. It may have used minimal fabric, but a finish is always good. And this one is very pretty. So is your anthology block.

  7. LOVE the quilt dancing with all those happy batiks! Just gorgeous, Sue. The Anthology block is lovely and oh how sweet the little guy is in his sweet knitted jacket. I had not heard of Jan Mack. I am off to discover her blog. I would like to read about her charitable initiative. Does her blog give details where to send donations? It sounds as if you have a lot of sewing to occupy your days, Sue. Have fun.

  11. Beautiful quilt, letting those batiks shine! Did you use a pattern or make it up?
    That is a very colorful Anthology block, and a clever design. Really pretty.
    Is that a little sloth you dressed up? So cute.
