Sunshine and the Garden is Done!

Finally the best woohoo moment this week, the borders are on the "Down in the Garden Quilt" and it is looking fabulous.

This now goes in the quilting pile..... that is got three quilts on it now.  Oh well that is another task some other day.

I hope you have all seen the new buttons on my blog,  I have decided to participate in these and reduce my stash and get something achieved.  Some of the reproduction quilts are really exciting.  Will keep you posted, I am just washing fabrics to get the Love Entwined Quilt started.

Sunshine and Stitching to you

My Garden is in disarray!

You may very well ask where have I been!  Having a panic attack and trying to sort my garden.  In a tired moment (never trim blocks at night)  I trimmed three of my down in the garden blocks,  BUT TO THE FINISHED SIZE.   What a panic and I didn't have any churn dash fabric left.  But I knew I would never be happy if I didn't pull these apart and recut and sew along with restitch!  I then had a memory of a fabric I thought I had used once which was similar to the Churn Dash Fabric, and yes upon looking in my scrap bags I found a similar fabric with larger spots but near enough for me.

So that is where I have been and not on blog land.  We are getting closer to being all stitched again and back to 15 1/2" .



  I have however had to stop to complete  "Fairyland" by Natalie Bird so my nearly 8 year old can receive at least all the finished blocks in her birthday package.  The last of  the blocks are here and the stitching is fun, look at the lovely bees!

DOWN IN THE GARDEN - delicious quilt

Remember when I started this quilt, January 2012 and it is now March 2013 and this is all I have so far, lots of stitching but have had a few breaks to do other things.  A girl cant be expected to stick to one thing at a time now can she, however I only have two blocks left and nearly finished one of those.  Perhaps I should have been in the real garden tidying up.  No I enjoyed this garden better.  Welcome to my garden come on in and have a look.

The bottom two right hand blocks are yet to be finished. Dudley the spoodles loves to stich in my studio with me.  He even has his own mat he sleeps on.
