What a Lovely Autumn Day in April

 

Went into my sewing room this morning, and got a huge dose of the depression – haha not really, but with such a mess with all these projects half finished, and so many things I want to make……

I heard somewhere on a quilting DVD that we do not have to finish everything we start, the trouble is almost everything I start is something I really want to finish. :-))

And its about time I did some more blogging. I have been very remiss, but I have been sewing. Just haven’t taken any photos.

I am in the process of machine appliqueing my Civil War Bridal Quilt. I have finished the first block – Yay!!  I did this one using freezer paper inside then slitting the back and taking the freezer paper out.  It looks a bit crumpled as I had to wet it to get the paper out, and haven’t ironed it yet.

Not sure whether I like this method, so at the moment I am doing one using wash away paper.

Hope to have my second block finished any day now and will post a photo as soon as I can.

I’m also getting stuck into my Candied Hexagons which I am hand piecing at night.

    The  2 blocks using one print is my focal print and the one I used to get my colour from.

It’s sure going to be bright.:-))

Thanks for dropping by

HAPPY EASTER!

 

Hi Every-one

Not a lot happening in the quilting line at the moment, although in the evenings I have been putting a few circles together. A project I started a couple of years ago. Managed to tack my fabric to the paper templates, but that was as far as I got, so I thought I should start putting some together.

I am trying to work out what to take with me on my trip. Something I don’t need super sight for, so it won’t be these, as it’s quite hard to get the centre points accurate.  Even with hand piecing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My basting stitches are still in.

One thing I did achieve yesterday was this A lovely batch of Hot Cross Buns. They taste very yummy.

A photo below of one of our lovely girls heading off to Australia to enter a couple of shows, and meet up with a nice young fella to make a baby!! She will come back home in about October.

DH was quite emotional to see her go, as she has such a lovely disposition, and he has become quite fond of her. 

Thanks for dropping by, and have a lovely Easter Break.
