Lazy sunday afternoon.....

 Nothing beats a lazy Sunday when you can retreat to the sewing room and just plod along with some happy projects.

I managed to sew the two new rows onto my Who's who in the zoo quilt and this brings me to the half way mark of the applique blocks.



Week night sewing has consisted of trying to complete the second border for my 9 patch top.
I am very happy with the results and they come together quite quickly.
It's very encouraging when you can sew them onto the top. 


This week I will focus on getting at least one of the Basket case borders done.  I can see this getting finished soon.  Hopefully if it gets done I will start one of my new projects on the upcoming school holidays.  Nothing like dangling the carrot in front of the donkey.


Time for a stocktake of works in progress.....


Basket Case - 2 sides of final borders to go

9 patch- red and cream outer borders to be done (a few more hexie flowers for the final border to be done)

9 patch scrappy top - two borders to go/two done

Scrappy hearts quilt - borders to be planned and done

Petite Poche - 4 new  embroidery blocks added to the pile

Who's who at the zoo- half way through applique blocks, need to prep some more

Aussie animals - centre top done, borders to go.

May Gibbs hearts - pick up and go project, need to count completed hearts. wisp


Happy days

hello

 Time is getting away from me it would be lovely to be able to slow it down. Crafting inspiration seems to be lacking as I try to finish off...
