Happy mail

I came home today to find the postie had left been on Thursday and left a parcel, it is the first month of the BOM, Doing the Rounds, I have signed up for this year, from Shiralee Stitches.
Pretty exciting huh!!

Lots of beautiful fabrics in there!!
I was going to start on this tonight but the power went off at about 6.30 and didn't come back on until 9.30pm, by then I was too hot and tired!!
Maybe tomorrow....is another hot day coming, but we have been promised a cool change, so here is hoping! 
Happy sewing.

Stitching away

Yesterday I signed up to do another Aussie hero quilt, the request was for deer hunting, German wire haired pointers and the roman numeral 3. This is how far I got yesterday
lots to do but off to a good start, I found the deer panel last time I was in NZ. The dog pictures are courtesy of Mr Google.

I can not remember where I found this fabric but had it earmarked for a zipper pouch, the front and back are quilted, ready to go.

Last year I watched a lot of people participating in the 365 Days of Circles, where you were to do one circle a day...I resisted until now when I found a pack 5 inch of batiks and thought well why not. I am not going to be strict about doing one a day, but it will be another hand stitching project.I will work on it when I feel like it.
I have also signed up for a BOM for next year over at Shiralee Stitches. I have had this pattern, a first by Susan at Thimble Stitch. I have  had the pattern for several months now, so have decided a BOM will motivate me to actually make it! That is the theory anyhow!!
Happy stitching.

Phew!!

Finally after many hours of tracing, cutting,  ironing, more cutting and then trying to get the pieces to fit together and then more ironing.....I have two blocks ready to sew from my BOM. ( Tracee please take note!!) LOL!!
this one ended up being a bit crooked but after an hour of trying too get it all to fit together close enough was good enough!!!

Chookies and babies went together a little better - only ironed one baby to the ironing board!! LOL!!
