Whilst it's been a busy month for me - it was only a short one!!! LOL
I was going to be visiting my God Daughter (in Sydney) and handing over the baby quilt I had made for her second child - Harvey (here).
Almost at the last minute I saw something and thought it would make a good present for the older one - a girl. Luckily she has a short name.
As they say - never work with children and animals. Miss Zoe didn't want to smile after I got my camera ready - so this is the best I could get of the two of them on the new quilt.
I produced the stars on the "Monster Machine".
I had thought to give it a cutesy name but I think "Monster Machine" is working well for me.
Last Sunday - at Sunday Stitchers - I took along my Project #12.
I wasn't able to get it finished in time..there has been a lot happening...but when this number was drawn out last month - I had a top with no side borders. So I have managed to add the borders, pin it, quilt the vertical lines and most of the horizontal lines (apart from where I want it to be the aqua thread), bound it and have started to fill in the night sky with stars.
I want to add a moon and many more stars, but a few people have commented on it and I thought I'd show you the "in progress" shots.
The quilt is based on a pattern in Tula Pink's 100 Modern Quilt Blocks book. I've adapted it to fit existing hangers and spaces on my walls.
a sample of the night time stars....many more to be added....
Not great photos - I will get better ones when I'm finished.
Who needs an excuse to sew?? Not me - but it's fun to know a whole pile of us are doing the same.
Friday Night was some hand stitching while watching some Better Homes & Gardens.
and then I got stuck into some quilting - this is Project #12 for my UFO List - thought I better get a move on.
I cannot get a photo that shows the colour - its a dark charcoal grey - so just the back for now:
And to top it off Saturday was Loose Threads day and I worked on a few more blocks for Ruth's Quilt..only a few to go now.
Hopefully some more sewing tonight - tomorrow I better get a bit domestic 😡
Thanks again Cheryll
