Hi Everyone

One of the upshots of the laptop not working is more time for sewing. So where shall I start –

One – I have finished two lap quilts

Two- Been helping mum with a new design. No Photo.

Back to one – this was made for mum

The above photo shows a lap quilt that I made for Sister In Law – Joan who was absolutely thrilled. Loved the back print as she is a keen gardener even though she is 92. Although she admits it is getting too much for her now. Her Garden is always blooming.

These are just two new ideas I am playing around with. Not sure where they are going yet.

The Liberty Quilt

Planned this out and ordered some beautiful Liberty Fabric. Started the 1st row and surprised myself at how quickly it came together.

I love it. What do you think?

I need a cup of tea!

Bye for now

Hello everyone

Apologies for my tardiness. I have had another migraine and with the storm expected today I await another one.

I have managed to make the laptop work today so am going to make the best of it and post a lot of sewing projects. Ha! The laptop may have other ideas!

Here is my progress report

This is where I was

This is my progress (not much)

Just a few little flowers. However, I have ironed and blocked the July Sewing

Just need to sew this line together and we are half way done. Here is a reminder of the other blocks sewn already

Please take a look at my very patient and kind associates in this sewing group who produce some fabulous designs.

Bye for now

Hello Everyone,

Life has been hectic recently but I am pleased to announce the sewing mojo has returned, however the computer problem remains and I have to grab the chance when it is working.

So this is where I was last time

So here is my update

AS you can see I have done the cowslips and some back stitching on other flowers.

That is me

Hello Everybody,

I had things all planned out, arranged around visits to mum’s (who is doing fine, xray showed no chest infection so good news on that front and no news from Lymph Node Tests after her Cancer surgery) so she has mended fairly well. I have managed a little on the sewing front before being struck by another Migraine attack. So here is my progress after only a few days sewing.

Where I was

That’s me done. Please take a look at the other talented members of our group to see the different skills and techniques employed for their projects.

Hello Everyone

Firstly Apologies for Being Late

Well lets get to it, I have managed to do some sewing on the July Basket of my Red work Quilt.

Here is where I was last time …

Here is my progress

And apart from the stitchery side, I have also sewn together the second row and three quarters of the top row. Not sure why I sewed them in that order, just happened.

That’s all, take care

Hi everyone

I nearly forgot about this. Lots going on but not in my sewing alas!

This is where I was last time ….

This is my progress (seriously lacking!)

Just a new leaf and some more cross stitches in purple.

Well please take a look at our other delightful craftspeople and their achievements over the last three weeks.

Hello Everybody

I have been beavering away at my sewing, trying to fit it whenever possible, as well as helping my mum with her sewing. By the way she is dong ever so well and has stayed positive. Recently had her follow up after surgery and it appears the surgeon has removed the cancerous cells completely and results have shown that the cancer hadn’t spread. No Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy required. A huge relief!! They have taken more blood tests to check the Lymph Nodes but not heard anything back from those, so no news is good news.

Anyhow onto the sewing – I have made loads of Piano Key Blocks that make up the border on the Red Work Basket Quilt by Mandy Shaw of Dandelion Designs. I have also made the border for each block in the Calico material, and sewn some blocks together. Here are some photos …

January Border added

February Border added

It’s starting to look good. I’ve ironed the calico redwork via a tea towel dampened, but the hoop marks are quite stubborn. Anyone have an idea to help press them out?

Here is my progress on the July Basket.

Isn’t the Strawberry delicious!

That is all for now

Hello Everybody

Hope all is well in your part of the hemisphere.

I have been working rather slowly on the Bothy Thread Seasonal Panel – Spring. It is interesting to stitch and the colours are beautiful, although I am not sure all the colours will show up on photos as they are in reality.

Here is where I was ….

Here is my progress …

Why not grab a cuppa and peruse the other names listed below to see how much progress everyone has made. We all work on a variety of skills and post every three weeks.
