Happy happy me!

The Aussie Hero quilt top is together..yay!! 😆😆
Very happy with the results

All the bears paws looking like paws not fish!!

Supervisor has checked the quilt top 😆 I think it passed.

I have been doing some cutting for the next project.
I made this notice board months and months ago and it has been leaning up against the bookshelf, yesterday I got my act together and finished it and got it on the wall!! Took me all of 20 minutes, no idea why I had dallied for so long!!
Off into Geelong today, so had better get moving.
Happy sewing.

More frustration

Well yesterday I thought I had these bear paw blocks down pat, but the sneaky little bits keep moving around I am sure,
All those little half square triangles I sewed up last night..I thought I was so careful and half of them are wrong!! Unsewing was the order of the day.

Looking out the window, there is a change of weather coming.

 Yep, rain and hail!! Happy to be inside sewing today,  well happy to be inside! ! 😆😆


Then this happened..I managed to get one piece around the wrong way


Then more were around the wrong way, but I am happy to say by 6.00pm, the two blocks were happily completed. I went to look for the other blocks and could not find then, I searched and searched and just abfew minutes ago found them in a cupboard!! The door was open and they just have slid of the ironing board and into the cupboard!! I think it is time I had a good tidy up.
Had better get some dinner sorted
Paws all done.

Frustrating but happy day

I have been working away at bears paw blocks today, there was quite a lot of unsewing and not proper checking, but I did get some great help from Fiona, and soon got on track
Started off ok but the half square triangles were too big....that got sorted thanks to Fiona

Lots and lots of half square triangles, trimmed to size now!!

Looking good

Block one finished

Block 2 finished

Block three finished...yay!! Three more to do, oh dear!!
More to come tomorrow.
Happy sewing.

This week

Is once again zipping by. I have managed to achieve a few things, I have been stitching away on the little stars

 And this group are now finished
I have made two bags for the quilts going to the oncology dept at a Geelong hospital, easier to carry along if in a bag I think

And today I am starting on the sewing for some bears paw blocks for an Aussie Hero quilt
I had better get some breakfast and get moving. 
Happy sewing.
