Top Complete

I had to chase this around the clothes line

 a couple of times to get these pics

 as it was a bit windy...HaHa!

I am so happy with my quilt top....

I was going to use the leftovers for a pieced back

 but I don't quite have enough so it's 

off to the shop to get some backing and then

 a trip out to see Belinda my quilting Angel....

I hope all the other Stitch-a-long girls are 

enjoying there journey as much as I have....

Don't forget to update me Chooky as I only have a

 D for dismal or is that December...Ha Ha....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

SKOW Update

Sorry about the pics not being so 

clear as they were taken last night....

Another column between row

 4 and 5 and an outer border....

One column to go and then 

the top and bottom borders.....

Yay! Getting a little excited girls....

What was that????

Oh dear it's the whip....Better go and get cracking....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Taking Shape

Just a bit of an update on My Favourite Things Quilt.....

Another 2 rows joined with a column....

This is where I am up to so far....

They are looking a little like a 

stained glass window at the moment......

Well off to join more strips and squares....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Trying to Avoid the Whip!

In the hope to avoid Chooky's whip I would like to show you

 some progress on my SKOW Stitchalong quilt..... 

 I am up to the collumns at the moment.....

So I needed some 2 inch squares cut.....

 I then layed my first row on the kitchen bench and set

 about arranging the squares and fabric strips which was much

 more time consuming than I thought it would be.....

 After the collumn was made I  stitched it in between row 1 and 2.....

 This is my progress so far......

 It was tricky to photograph but I think you can get the idea....

Still a work in progress.......

I hope to get some more done soon.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching....

Long awaited Finish...

The last stitches have gone into my binding on my Hexi Quilt...

It took me so long to upload the pics.....

Might be time to upgrade my computer soon....

It was a lovely sunny and breezy day here today and 

I managed to get some pics of it hanging on the line....

I am so happy with how it has turned out...

Here is a pic of it on my bed....

There will be sweet dreams happening in there tonight....

There's nothing more rewarding than a completed quilt 

especially with perfect points on the corner binding....

Sweet Dreams my blogging friends.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

A binding I will go...

My Mojo returned home last night from wherever

 it is she has been....The dirty stop out.....

Out came my ruler and cutter and I trimmed the

 excess fabric and wadding from my Hexi Quilt..... 

 I was then on a roll and cut the binding strips....

 Joined and pressed them while chatting

on the phone to my bestie Suzie.....

What a multi tasker....Lol....

I then sewed the binding on and it is all pinned and ready

 to go to sewing at Fran's house tonight

with Alison and the girls......

Not quite a finish but getting there slowly.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Just not enough hours in the Day

I still haven't cut the binding for my Hexi Quilt...

Just not enough hours in the day at the moment!!!!

I hope to get to some sewing soon......

And then there is SKOW to finish and

so much more work to do on My Town....

Just not happening for me at the moment.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching...

A Present for Me! From Me!

I picked this wooden ruler holder up at one of

 the local quilt shops the other day.....

It fits perfectly on my window sill

 near my little cutting table....

It is nice to have things on hand and not

buried away when you need them....

I wonder if it will inspire me to get some UFOs finished....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Little House Pincushion from "Red Home"

I purchased "Red Home" from The Quilt Show in Sydney and 

have decided that the pincushion will be my first project.....

I also purchased this rotary mat and mini cutter...

So out they came to get started on the 

Hexagon panel for the side of my pincushion.....

How adorable is this half inch Hexi....

I am in love!!!!

There are 25 in the side panel and here 

they are all ready to be stitched together....

I will keep you posted with my progress....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
