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

taking stock..

 Unfortunately at the moment my works in progress are all much of the same so i thought I would do a little stock take and tally up the projects that I have in progress....

Some are slow and ongoing with no deadline and others are coming to the end of the quilt.

Here we go, this could be cathartic

• Spring Bouquet              - final outer border to be done then sewn together         
• Basket Case                    - Just started 19 Blocks completed

• scrappy hearts                 - on going project

• scrappy nine patches       - on going project, 57 completed

• red nine patches              - on going projecct, 15 completed

• Farm Sweet Farm           - Final border needed, waiting to visit fabric shop.
• Shoo Fly blocks             - fabric selected for alternative blocks.

Well that wasn't so bad, was it?  I was sure I had lots more but there you go.

Tops awaiting quilting...

• Okehampton                      - booked in for April next year
• Liberty Dresden Plates
• Clamshells
• Novelty hexie top

It will be interesting to see in a few months how those figures have changed.

Australia post has delivered another two minis to crafty friends so I can share pictures.

Happy days...
