Yes #6, which for several of us is
this. Mine has not been out of the packet since last April, so now is the time to get it done. Applique is not my forte so this will be a challenge for sure.
I have been stitching away on the cropped diamonds - many people have told me I am mad, so it will be called the Mad quilt! 😁
Lots more sritching to be done.
I joined in a zoom with Chooky and the Chookshed stitchers the other day
Was good to see e eryone who was there that day.
I ha e been for a couple of walks with Adam and Finn
And watched meal time
And had a play, Finn loves to take selfies so I have to watch phone and be quick taking photos!!
I am off to start on #6.
Happy stitching.
Love seeing photos of cute Finn.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the bag.....
Just been catching up on your posts Sue, good on you for joining the challenge, don't think I will committ to that this year. Finn is certainly growing fast, and good to see your family photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to think we will all be working together again on the little bag by Annie.
ReplyDeleteThose little boys are going to keep you very busy I'm sure. Yep I think I would call it the mad quilt too. Happy New Year
Joy, good health and happy quilting throughout 2024
ReplyDeleteLovely to see more photos of Finn
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely applique on that pretty bag, Sue. Love all those scrappy cropped diamonds on your Mad quilt. This is going to be a fabulous quilt. Ahh...Finn, what an adorable chappy he is.
ReplyDeleteThose bags do look lovely - and will be useful for holding your bits ready for the next challenges! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you in zoom.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I had no idea your cropped diamonds quilt was so large.
You could try machine applique???
Good luck with your bag. Mine hadn’t been out of the bag either. I’m going to attempt needle turn applique, which will be a change for me. Good luck with yours. You aren’t mad, just dedicated. I wouldn’t attempt it. Cute Finn photos.
ReplyDeleteThere is our Finn again taking center stage - cutie!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I had taken mine out of the bag.
Mad is the perfect name!
You will be fine with the applique I am sure Sue! There sure ARE alot of diamonds in that quilt. Gosh Finn is changing from a baby into a real little boy now. xx
ReplyDeleteLol it won't be long before Finn grabs your phone and takes pics himself! Soooo cute! Love your Mad quilt piecing. That bag looks lovely and fun to make.
ReplyDeleteSue - that friendship drawstring bag looks absolutely adorable. I look forward to watching your progress! Happy New Year and happy stitching!
