All Ready To Mail

Finally finished cutting out 8, no make that nine sets of two inch squares for the Postage Stamp Charm swap,  I cut myself a set as well.

I also completed the top of a mini quilt for a swap over at #carriesgroup on instagram.  Cannot divulge any info as the swap is secret and I do not want to ruin the surprise.

Also this week,  Chookyblue released our partners for the 2014 SSCS. Shall have to get busy on that project as well.

Wild Horses

Wow, what a start to my morning,  awoke at 04.00 hours, not sure why, because it was my sleep in, anyway got ready to come into town for a hsir appointment before I head off to work.

This is what greeted me in the driveway

Some wild horses,  there were two pet horses with these fellows. These horses must have broken out of their paddock. By wild, they have been branded, but not broken in, however, I have been able to pat some of them ages ago.

Well this morning they surrounded my car, gave the car a good old sniff and lick. I was lucky enough to be able to put them in another paddock, so at least they are nearby.

Thank you for taking time to stop by. 

Happy stitching.

More Weekend Sewing

I am running slightly late with September Compass Quilter's blocks for Nesta, however, am happy to report they are now completed and ready to mail.
Nesta requested a Cross stitch block in pink, yellow or orange,  so I raided my stash and made these

I hope they fit in with the rest of Nesta's blocks. They were a fun block to make.

Today they will depart on an epic journey to Italy!

Weekend Sewing

I knew it was to good to be true, that the plans I made for the weekend would come to fruition, yep you guessed it, had to work on one of my days off.

This is what I achieved any way.

Anyway I shall go back to sewing some more hexies together for my 2014 Hexie BOM.

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

Addicted to Thread

I was merrily sewing hexies together on Thursday,  and this is what happened

September Hexie BOM - Birdie

Here is the latest addition to the 2014 Hexie BOM,  a rather cute little birdie.

In addition to the birdie, I have been madly sewing hexies together for the sashing.  

Unfortunately I do not have any thing else of interest to post, just been working and sleeping,  and doing a little hand sewing in between. 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. 

Happy stitching Sharon.

This is the eighth round of Postage Stamp Charm swaps, it is my seventh and oh boy, it is lots of fun and very addictive.  My choice of size is two inch squares, I have been cutting, collecting and sewing together for a few years now.  I am aiming for a Queen size bed quilt, in my opinion my quilt is coming along nicely, but slowly.

I urge you to join in, you get to meet lots of other quilters from around the world and swap little squares of fabric.  My choice of size is two inch sqaures, I have been cutting, collecting and sewing together for a few years now.  I am aiming for a Queen size bed quilt, in my opinion my quilt is coming along nicely, but slowly.

You have a choice of sizes, one inch, one and a half inch, two inch or two and a half inch charms to swap.  Basically you cut one hundred charms, have them ready to post and sign up.  This round it is limited to eight swap per person;  For us that that been quilting for a while we can also nominate to send a Newbie gift to a new quilter, the Newbie gift consists of fifty charms.

Anyhow hope to maybe meet up on the Postage Stamp Charm Swap.

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