Hello Everybody

I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately apart from the two SAL that I participate in but today is about another finished top.

I had put this to one side earlier in the year and promised myself to finish before this Christmas and this in one promise I have kept. So here are some photos. It is only the top (yes another one – that makes 10), but I have just purchased some more wadding and I can use some music print as the back that I had originally bought to complete the Jazz Quilt – slightly over-estimated the quantity at the time. However, it will now complete this quilt.

It is not sewn totally together in this photo but I have done it now.

oops – bit blurry – sorry!

Well that is all for now.

I wish you all the happiness of the Holidays and a very Happy New Year!

Oh my!, only 22 days to go! Don’t Panic!

Firstly Welcome back Cindy.

I am not panicking, slightly smug that I have the presents already wrapped and we have put the decorations up and the lights on the tree outside. Having just nosed out the window I can see our neighbour has just attached all the lights to the front of his house. It will look pretty and inviting. His children will enjoy it!

Well on the sewing front I have been quite successful and completed the last vignette (is that the right word, maybe not)? Also added in the border and half stitched the border design in the centre.

So here is where I was last time …..

Here is my progress ….

Hopefully during our longer break I will get to start on the centre panel. I look forward to many new projects and finishing old ones when we meet up again on the 14th January 2024.

So A Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year to Everybody.

Cheers Daisy

Hello everybody

Despite having to tend to the garden, particularly cropping some of our tree branches , I have managed to finish the March red work pattern and have started on the April pattern. I have to admit it was a bit of a push to get the March one finished as it seemed to go on forever. Motivation has returned!

Here is where I was last time ….. (I need to iron this!)

Here is my progress …..

Again I like the different baskets. I put this as April as we all need a Spring Clean. What do you think is the name obscured on the bottle? Or is it just made up?

Bye for now

Hello Everybody

Hope all is well. I have done loads of stitching, particularly on my Fruit of Plenty. I had to work out the placement for the October Block as I have altered it from the actual design as this has now become a homage to the death of our Queen.

Here is where I was ……..

Here is my progress ….

When I have completed this corner it is just the middle section to do. I have chosen which house I will insert in the diagram as there were several choices made available by the designer.

Well that is all for now!

Please take a peek at the other members of our group to see how they have progressed.

Hello everybody

Well I have been stitching quite a bit on my March Redwork Block as well as starting putting together the October Block. One thing is for certain this quilt project will not be ready for this Christmas but maybe next year!

Anyhow, this is where I was last time…..

here is my progress this time ….

I am sure it is taking me longer this time to complete the block, their seems more to it than last time.

Here is the October colours

Well that is me, please take a moment to catch up on the other members progress.

Hello Everyone

I have done a major happy dance as the three projects I sent to the Picture Framers are back and I am delighted.

So here are the photos

Sorry about reflections, this was the best I could get. Husband is so happy!

I am so glad this frame works so well with the cross stitched picture.

Bye for now.

Hello everyone

I have been sewing quite a lot lately on a variety of projects but have managed to squeeze some time on the Red work Basket Quilt. I am sewing the one for March and it seems to be more detailed than the last two. I like the different weaves on the baskets.

Here is where I was last time ….

Here is my progress …..

Here are a reminder of the previous two stitcheries.

January and February

Well that is me this time so let’s take a peek at the other members progress.

Hello Everybody

The end of September already and Autumn advances in great strides. I have been stitching quite a lot recently but not just cross-stitch. I have been stretching my boundaries.

However, I was able to get along with “Fruits of Plenty” by Modern Folk Embroidery. I have stitched the birds, berries, flowers and some of the borders are half stitched.

Here is where I was last time ……

Here is my progress

Well that’s me so why not pop along to the other sites listed below to see how the other members of this group have progressed.
