Scrub Stitchers Challenge

 This was the last month for the challenge and the biggest effort for me, but I am near finished.

Finns glorious rainforest floor quilt is done, well there are a few more threads to sew in and it needs a label, but I am calling it finished as this is the last day of the month and I have just scraped in!

This is such beautiful fabric and has so much detail, when quilting it is hard to know where to stop, because you can just keep on going.

A big thank you to Deana for keeping us on track with this challenge, and for helping lots of finishes happen. I am very happy with what I managed to get done.

I should have said I got this fabric from Hummingbird Quilting (Tracee) she has it in her studio plus another Artic panel which is also gorgeous.

Happy stitching.

#5 Challenge

 

I have met this months challenge I am very happy to say.

Last post I recorded the wool felt needle case, now I can show the quilts.

The second part of the challenge was to work on Anthology.

Anthology started when the book arrived back at the end of March 2020. It was a challenge between Ingrid and myself to make the blocks and then a quilt.

The first block was made April 2020 and the last August 2023. I made some filler blocks but have no idea where my brain was as I made then a third of the size they needed to be!! Talk about making the job harder than necessary. At the last retreat I sewed on the sashings and put together one quilt, Margaret kindly sewed the other one for me. Joan quilted them and I have done the binding and label and here they are

There were 183 blocks in total, 90 in each quilt and three left over. I am super happy to have this done,

then you Deana for keeping us motivated each month.

Happy stitching.

A Finish

This morning I have finished #6 on the Scrub Stitchin' 2024 Challenge, it is a Friendship Drawstring Bag designed by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched.

Mine is slightly different from the pattern but I am very happy with it. Pretty!

Now on with the Guild Mystery Quilt.

Happy stitching.
