Progress

 I have been doing a lot of ironing, cutting and preparing this week, getting ready for Scrub Stitching

Fabric cut for one quilt

two quilts

#3 quilt, more fabric is coming in the mail, I hope it gets here before the weekend. I am doing fat quarter blocks for these quilts so they should come together quite quickly . (She says hopefully!!)


When I was in the kitchen this morning  I could hear and see a galah outside, I thought it might nave been interested in the vege garden below but it's mate was in the tree just a bit further along feasting on these red berries, it was not at all bothered that I went out to say hello and take some pictures.
I spent quite a bit of time on the kitchen this morning preparing the figs for some more jam, there are so many figs on the tree, the birds are having a feast, I watched a silver eye demolish a fig about the same size as its body when I went out this morning.  I have made 10 jars this season so far. 
The Churn Dash quilt is finished - Ready for show and tell at Scrub Stitching

This scrappy quilt is finished, thanks to Joan for the quilting. Joan did a spider web design and it looks amazing.

and the Foundation Paper Pieced hearts are finished.
Two more blocks have been done for Anthology, sorry blogger decided they had to be turned around!

I was given these blocks, they are the last of Kates things, Judy, one local quilter has, 

I am going to add them to the sides of this quilt top started ages ago and never finished, it is long enough but not wide enough, this may just solve the problem.
I had better be off and sort the mess in the sewing room.
Happy stitching.

10 fat quarter quilt

Way way back, many years ago......but not that far if you are singing the same song as me!!! Was happily side tracked then!! Back in 2009 I went to a class to learn how to make a 10 fat quarter quilt. Mine was finished and has gone to a happy home. A little while later some friends came over and we had a fat quarter quilt making day. One friend, made her fat quarters, which was great as she is not a sewer, but they languished in a bag. We usually exchange a little gift for Christmas, so for this one just gone I offered to put the quilt together instead of buying a present. So that is what I have been doing this afternoon.

Quite pleased with how it has turned out..next stop the quilters!! Yay!!
Happy sewing.
