SAL- Sunday 15th Dec. 24

Hello Everyone

Well the Christmas Season is well on its way. I have not been so organised this year, however I have sorted things out now and visiting arrangements have been made and kept so far. All gifts are wrapped and cards are written. In amongst all that I have continued to sew little bit on my Spring stitching.

Here is my last post

And here is my small progress…..

The blue bells are basically done now. I hope to finish this by the new year – a touch optimistic but would like to start something new for the New Year.

Talking of which here is my merry wishes and good cheer for the New Year. If you are celebrating, take care and stay safe. Bye for now

Hello Everyone

Mine is a really quick post as I have not put one stitch in since last update.(Feeling guilty)

I have been sewing but mainly finishing Christmas things.

Hopefully next time I will do better, however, please pop along to the other members of our group to see their progress.

Hello Everybody

We are in the throes of Storm Bert at the moment (who names these storms), and it is the perfect time to hunker down and sew. I have made some progress on my Spring sewing project so here is where I was last time ….

Here is my progress.

As you can see I have scrolled up and stitched the blue bells.

That’s all from me but grab a cuppa and peruse the other members sites to see their progress.

HQAL – 10th Nov 2024

Hello Everyone

Hope everyone is well. I have been busy sewing and have made a good start on my September Block for my Basket Quilt by Dandelion Designs. All of the other patchwork pieces are sewn together for this quilt, it is just doing the remaining red work designs. I don’t think that I will be finished before this Christmas but no rush.

Here is my start …..

This basket reminds me of two things. Going to a farm where scrumpy (rough cider) was being made. The farm actually had a private drinking room (members only club). My very first cider drink had when I was on holiday in Cornwall with my family and celebrating my 18th birthday. (I fell down the steps in the restaurant) slighty tipsy. He! He!

Well enough of that, lets grab a brew and visit the other members who are all busy sewing and creating there own special projects.

Bye for now,

Daisy

I have achieved quite a lot of sewing on this project. I was determined to finish this basket and managed to complete it in time for this update. I have put the hoop around next basket to be done and think this one might be quicker.

Here is where I was last time …..

Here is my progress …..

And here is the new basket to be sewn …

Well that is all from me this time, lets peruse the success of the other members who all work on individual projects.

Hello everyone

Three weeks have passed by very fast again and unfortunately I have been quite ill – firstly a dose of salmonella poisoning and then caught the cold my husband had previously. Utterly drained!

I have in the past few days put some stitches in my Spring Stitchery. So here is where I was last time ….

And this is my progress …

Well that is all for me, so lets pop along to see what progress the other members have achieved.

HQAL – Sunday 29th Sept 2024

Hello Everyone

I hope everyone is well and special thoughts to those in America suffering with Hurricane Helene. We have suffered driving through small local floods but not to the extremes some people who have lost their homes etc.

Well on the sewing front I have pushed on with the Redwork Basket Quilt designed by Mandy Shaw of Dandelion Designs. I have sewn the first three rows together so half the quilt is finished. (No Photo). I have also stitched quite a bit on the August Basket.

Here is where I was last time ….

Here is my progress …

Perhaps a happy dance next time.

That is all from me but please take a look at the other projects of our sewing group.

SAL – 1st September 2024

Hello Everyone

I have been on holiday from the paid job and whilst I had plans for plenty of sewing helping in the garden took over. We have installed new fencing and removed some damaged shrubs. It looks different now and we will allow nature to do her work. However, I have managed a little more on my Spring sewing so without further ado

This is where I was ……

This is my progress …

As you can see I have stitched the bottom flower and the leaves.

Well that is all

Please take a peek at our other members projects as we all work on something individual.
