Snow and freezing temperatures in july

Wow July already, I have been gently reminded I have not been posting...  But I have been busy in the sewing room... This post has lots of photos..

More progress to the hexagon QAL the end is in sight

Pickles are finished .. Ready for the background blocks...

I have a returned appliqué quilt finally quilted... Ready for binding

Also a returned Dresden plate quilt binding on ready to sew down...

The lorax quilt all bound and hung

Some quilting started myself on the Xmas wall hanging by Natalie Bird

Just to prove I have started securing the blocks..... What to do next will pose more of a challenge

A pineapple cushion... This will look good with the Dresden plate quilt ...

I had a request for dr Seuss cushions for my DD 1the teacher, so here is what was quickly whipped up

For all those mums out there coping with school holiday woes.  A bit of sewing goes a long way.. But as my DD 3 told me remember mum that STRESSED is Desserts spelt backward...  So go for a dessert she tells me.  Perhaps that is because it is her favourite meal of the day.

So happy school holidays for all those in New Zealand.

HAPPY EASTER

Happy EASTER, I hope you all had EASTER bunny visit. Our visit to Arrowtown has been hindered by sickness when we arrived by the youngest dd getting the vomiting bug and only coming right on Monday.  When we ventured out to do the Easter egg hunt in the town perhaps it was half an hour and too much for her tired body we headed back home to the arrowtown dwelling.  It was not going to be our weekend though as we got hit by a power outage at 5-45 while dinner was cooking. 🔦 So off to the pub for dinner while poor dad waited for the contractor to arrive, which finally happened at 9-30pm and wella power back on.  It's sad when candlelight doesn't allow for stitching. I have however progressed some projects prior to the blackout. Photos to follow...😄

Addictive Hexagons

What a busy time with a return from our fabulous holiday it has been all go, and now its the holidays and kids home does not make for too much time in the sewing room, however I have tried to be disciplined to get at least some stitching moving along.

My quiltalong with faeries and fibres is coming along nicely onto block 11 and the second side block
only 7 more to go.  I am making progress in getting the first path around all the blocks I have done so far, this is a good sit down in front of tv job.

Happy Stitching

Call back soon

hexagon addiction

I have Block One and Two prepped for sewing together in the QAL  over at Faeries and fibres 

These are addictive so be careful.  I purchased the two fabrics for the pathway between today.   I will prep some hexies up and show you next visit...
