August Challenge

 

My first part of the challenge is completed
This quilt was started June 2021, it was a challenge from Ingrid. The hexies are all sewn by hand, the border machine appliqued on and binding sewn by machine too. It was quilted by Tracee from Hummingbird quilting, I am sure I said that in the last post! I am very happy to have it completed.
I have also finished 2 blankets, sewn the squares together and finished off with a crochet edge. One more to do and then they will go to KOGO.
That is me up to date, I hope to start on an Aussie Hero quilt tomorrow afternoon, but there is a call to the garden, David is putting in a wooden edge and the weeds have to be removed first and guess who needs to be going that! So far I have spent 6 hours out there - good to do when it is fine and sunny but think of all that wasted sewing time!!!
Happy stitching.

  3. Your quilt is a work of art - just lovely. well done with the blankets. I am wondering whether to change to knitting instead of crocheting my blocks - the knitted ones look good.
