This

weekend is the 5th birthday for the Chookshed over at Chookyblue's place. There is a weekend of fun happening at the Chookshed and many of us joining in at home.

Yesterday I went to a UFO sewing day over at Port and had a great day with the girls there most were very productive.

Jacquith has made this beautiful quilt top from a panel

Angela was busy putting together a charity quilt from scraps the group had been given

Angela also made this great charity quilt from donated fabrics

And I quilted the Aussie Hero quilt and put the binding on. Hand sewing will be the job to be done today.

Happy sewing.

FNWF results

I had a great evening sewing away last night until I  got too tired and had to stop

I got the blocks sewn together and then sewed them row by row onto the wadding and backing. Todays mission is to do some quilting around the blocks and get the binding on!! 

Off to Port for a UFO day today so will be perfect.

You can see what the other FNWF'ers were doing over at Cheryll's.  Thank you Cheryll for hosting.

Happy sewing.

FNWF

Here we are once again, the first Friday night of the month and that is time to sign up over at Cheryll's for a fun night of stitching with like minded people.

Also this weekend is the birthday weekend for the 5th birthday of Chookyblue and there is a weekend of fun and sewing to come, you can sign up for the fun over at The chookshed

This afternoon I have been in purple heaven sewing blocks for an Aussie Hero quilt, I have one more to do then will work out on the layout tonight during FNWF

I have been enjoying my knitting, one ball of wool is finished and I have started on another...I went to get some more wool

But the pink was no longer available, so guess what?? We have purple instead!! 😀😀

Have  a great evening and weekend.

Happy sewing.

Another

day is zipping by!! This morning the Supervisor and I went for an amble along the beach and back, it was a very slow one this morning. The washing was done while we were out, some is hanging outside just as wet as when it went up, the rest is over one of the heating vents! Might have to bring the outside washing in very soon.
One Aussie Hero quilt top is finished

Managed to get the chevrons, white and colour and forgot to put the owners picture of her dog in a block. I remembered at 2am last night. So it will have to be appliquéd on later.

Today I have been cutting blocks for another Aussie Hero quilt

I have been waiting for fabric for this one but can wait no longer as the deadline can't be extended again. I still have purple and still have a few schnauzers, just not as many as I had hoped. I have also sorted some of the 9 inch squares I was given and they are ready to make half square triangles.

 This afternoon the Supervisor had an appt at the vet, he was due for a needle for his arthritis, so we have done that

And now are back home again. I am going to do some more sewing and the Supervisor will rest and recover from his traumatic ordeal!!!!

Happy sewing. 

Catch up

I have had some very enjoyable sit and sews this week at Bellarine Quilters, Seachange and St Leonards. I missed the show and tell at Bellarine, was slow getting the camera out, Angela had made some wonderful charity quilts.

Laurie made this beautiful table runner, love the colours she has used.

I came home with a bundle of fabrics to try and make some charity quilts...spidey man, spidey man...(woops started singing there!!)

I have started to work on another Aussie hero quilt, the request was for half square triangles made into chevrons in white and colour.

Today Jill was working on her lollipop trees, love how she does her circles in little foil packs! Looks like there are chocolate treats coming!!

The half square triangles are coming along ok, I had a few strange rows for a while but hubby set me right!!

And the Supervisor was snoring at the end of the table!!

Hubby was doing a pastel yesterday and  he has finished it today, I requested a painting of one of the Hobbit houses at Hobbiton.

He is still tweaking but I love it.

Off now to do some more half square triangles.

Happy sewing.

Today

I made some beetroot chutney...I found some beetroot in the garden that were looking good

Only two jars but I had run out so am happy to have some more.

I had to do some Guild stuff today but got to some sewing later this afternoon

This little quilt is sandwiched and I have started quilting around the letters, love this panel. 

My fish and chips  have arrived so I am off to feast.

Happy sewing.

Bits and pieces

Not a lot of sewing has been happening here as I have been out in the garden a lot this week, has been the perfect weather for it. But

Two little stars have joined the others

The advent calendar is finished....sideways photo sorry....just need to get a hanger

The washing is  in and needs to be put away so I had better go and see to it, the laundry fairies seem to be away this weekend.....😁😁

Happy sewing.
