Progress of My Lucy

Have been sewing like a dervish, to get this all sewn together.


I have more blocks completed, together with cornerstones and the cream/grey joiner blocks.

But want to sew some more blocks to have more variety.  I was worried there may be to many of the same/similar colour group together, but looking at it, think it is fine.

Anyhow, back to sewing more Lucy.


Thank you for taking time to stop by.

 Happy stitching.

Delilah - Block Three - Shooting Stars

Today I put Lucy aside to work on Delilah.

Here are my two blocks for month three, "Shooting Stars"



Delilah is a TOM (Template of the Month).  We are supplied acrylic templates, directions and a selection of fabrics.  It is our decision how we make the blocks.

I procrastinate on tge usage of which fabrics, because, we can also use fabrics from past months.  Decisions are not  my strong point.   But I think I am happy with this month's outcome.

Thank you for taking time to stop by.
 Happy stitching.

Sunday at the Chook Shed


Sunday, day 2 at Chooky's amazing 5th Birthday party.

I cut some long overdue Lucy blocks, still have three more to cut out, but got tired and was afraid I may cut the fabric wrong, can't have that.

Then I pull out a SAL block a did a little needle-turn to it.


That was day, time to get tea on, and have a quick tidy up.

What a wonderul two days.

Thank you for taking time to stop by.
 Happy stitching.

Party Time at the Chook Shed

Thank you Chooky, for a fun-filled day, yesterday.  For those that don't knoe, itvwas the Chooksheds fifth birthday, and the lovely Donna is hosting an all weekend sewing PARTY!


I decided to bring Lucy, from POTC, along.  I had to prise Lucy out of hiding, she was squirriled away in a box, because I had been working on some other projects.

Well, Lucy and I had the time of our lives yesterday.  I pressed her, found some "missing" blocks,  sewed some more one inch grey joiners to the cream joiners, for want of better words.



I even joined another Lucy to the three, I had joined in a row.  So now there is a small "L" shaped piece of quilt.



Thank you for taking time to stop by.

 Happy stitching.

A Long Time Coming

What an epic journey this little quilt was.  It was a BOM way back in 2014, hosted by Kristy @ Quiet Play.

I am on a mission to complete all my WIPs/ UFOs.  Not sure if I am winning or not, hehehe.

My finger tips are so dang sore from getting pricked from needles, sure I have a  thimble or three, but just cannot get the feel of the needle, the way I like it, so will be lathering pawpaw ointment on my finger tips at bed time.

Without further ado, here is my version of "Sew Kitschy".




Thank you for taking time to stop by.

 Happy stitching.
