Hi Everyone

Happy New Year wishes and blessings to anyone I haven’t contacted before.

I have been very busy stitching a variety of things, so lets get started in no particular order. I have been joining the two long seams of the Red Work Basket Quilt. This had been delayed while I plucked up the courage and found the best way to put the writing on the central square. This is now complete, see photos below

I used a Frixion pen and then sewed over the words. I didn’t find it easy but i guess practice makes perfect. Now I have the batting and backing so how to quilt. Let me think about it! It will all be hand quilted so a long project.

Secondly, I have finished the Mini Wholecloth Quilt. It looks fab, so soft and squishy. I was nervous about soaking it for 30-60 minutes, mainly because I thought the sewing thread might run. Luckily all was fine and the blue lines all disappeared. Magic!!

Here are some photos

With blue lines before soaking.

After washing – it looks even more crinkly.

Well that is all for this post.

Please take a peek at all the other members in this group as we all work on individual projects and post every three weeks. If you are interested in joining in the fun please contact Kathy in the list below.

Hello Everyone

Well the New Year is in full swing, and I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with lots of stitching where possible. I haven’t made any resolutions or false promises to myself, instead I have tried to put a break on the chaotic madness of keep starting new projects and building a pile of UFO’s. Instead I have made a comprehensive numbered list (45!! but we will not dwell on that) of all the projects that I have started and choose 2 per month via picking numbers out of a hat. It’s more a 3 year list than 1 year.

However, it appears to be capturing my mind and I have successfully put in a fair number of stitches to my Halloween Cross stitch Project by The Steady Thread.

Here is where I was last time ….

Here is where I am now …

The top row is complete except for the border design. Now shall we guess what the picture is this time.

b: Witch stirring a cauldron

c: A Raven

d: Witch on a Broom

No prizes just fun.

Bye for now

Hello Everybody

I have a new laptop and hopefully I will be able to blog properly including the links part I had trouble with on my phone.

I’m tired now as I have been staring at the screen for nearly 6 hours setting various things up.

Have a wonderful New Year if you are celebrating.

See you all in the New Year.

Take Care

Hello Everyone

Hope you are well and not too stressed in the run up to Christmas.

I have managed to put some stitches in the mini Celtic Wholecloth.

Here is where I was last time …

Here is my progress ..

This is what it looks like on the backing fabric – getting nice and crinkly (is that a true word)?

I think the blue and yellow work well together. I might find another one with a deferent design and do it all green (my favourite colour)

Well that is me this time. Hope you all enjoy the Holidays and that it is filled with loads of love and happiness. Take care and see you in the New Year.

Sirry the links thing isn’t working for me on my phone. Please use Kathy’s links to see the other projects.

Hello Everyone

I haven’t managed as much as I wanted these past three weeks. However, I have been busy stitching, but just not on this project.

Here is where I was last time …

Here is my small progress ..

I guess we will not be in contact again until the 28th so I wish everyone a Happy Holiday/Christmas, lots of yummy food and fine wine, and loads of Love.

For referencing other members projects in our group please pop along to Avis of Sewing Beside the Sea.

I still cannot get the copy/paste to work.

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all cozy and warm.

I have made a start on the Mini Wholecloth Quilt. I am using a yellow thread (2 strands) on the middle section but the cross hatch area will be blue.

This should be quite a short project and then onto the bigger quilts. A bit daunting as there are 17 to quilt. I’ve told myself not to buy any unnecessary fabrics. NOT QUITE SURE THAT WILL WORK. FOCUS!!!

Well that is me for now, please take a peek at the other members projects.

Hi everyone

Sorry for being late to the party again and I had actually prepared sewing and things and then we realised the car had gone wrong well the heater in the car to be precise. Its only going to be the coldest week in the year to date.

Anyhow here is my progress yes a quaint witches home,

I still cannot get all the link thingy to work so perhaps best view Avis’s site to access the other members projects. Sorry Avis.

Daisy.
