August Chook Shed Stitchers Challenge

 Another new month and another challenge, this month it is

Number three.
For me that is EPP and the Tea and Cake quilt.
I have been quietly stitching away at this when I had the time and last week I took the finished quilt top along on retreat and Tracee of Hummingbird Quilting very kindly quilted it for me so it was finished by the time I came home. How is that for wonderful service!!
Tracee has quilted with bees
aren't they great!
So now I need to trim and bind.
This month I am also going to try and make an Aussie Hero quilt, waiting to hear back about that.
Ok I am off now to trim the quilt then a cuppa and a little time with the wasgij.
Happy stitching.

  15. It must feel so good to have this quilt nearly finished. It is stunning. I’ve just been catching up on all your posts since Scrub Stitchin’. I have got way behind, what with our trips away. You have been busy - sewing, going to retreats and quilt ins, holidaying, seeing whales and spending precious time with Finn.
