This week I managed to complete the stitchery on my 5th block for Flowerville…
The Main House (Flowerville is a Rosalie Dekker design)
I hope this week I will be able to make the Dresden plate for around the edge and finish the block.
I also sewed these 4 circles.... I have about 20 more to do... so nearing the end....
I have been pretty busy so haven't got to very much machine sewing... but I did do the third block in Jane's sampler.
I am making the blocks 3 1/2"
each new block has an extra piece to do... these are 1, 2 and 3 as you can see
Thanks Chez for having us for FNWF....
I started on the next Flowerville block... which is the Coffee House. I started on the chain stitch, which goes pretty slowly.... plus there were people's to chat to.... and a shop to browse..... and cheesecake to eat....
This weekend I want to do some of my own quilting.... and have got out My Small World (Jen Kingwell pattern) as I want a large wallhanging for above the bed.
I will be quilting quite heavily ….. but also in an informal style....
Righto, Gotto Go...… I'm going a quilting...…
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

A busy time at your place, so happy to see you are doing some quilting for you!!
Lots of lovelies happening at your place.
The Coffee House! I want to live in the Coffee House because I can't live without my coffee. Beautiful stitches you made. Have a wonderful weekend too. ;^)
Wonderful block and love how your circles are coming along.
I do love the idea of circles and machine appliqué with them, will be a fun project and I have a nice collection of dot and circles for it.

Pretty little embroideries! Enjoy your quilting time......working on your own projects after doing Stuff for other people is very satisfying.
You are braver than I am...stitching lots of 3 1/2 in blocks... wow.
I love the look of the bed head wall hanging too... xox
I just LOVE your Flowerville block...beautiful! Circles are coming along too! Enjoy quilting your Small World. Looking forward to seeing it xx
Such pretty thread you are using for Flowerville. look forward to seeing the dresdens around the block.
Not many more circles to make..
Jane's SAL blocks look good together. Must do my third one.
Oh yes must get out My Small World again. Maybe it will be next months UFO No???
Looks like a good week to me :) Those circles will be done very soon

The Flowerville blocks are so lovely. Happy quilting. xx
You have been busy. I look forward to seeing your small world quilted up! It is such a pretty quilt.
Love you Flowerville blocks, they are gorgeous. Glad you are quilting one of you own quilts, look forward to seeing it all done. Hugs,xx
Enjoy your quilting.
Always good to have something different to do for a little change of pace.
I love the colours in your flowerville block, be lovely for you to do some quilting for yourself. Have fun xcx
What pretty colors in My Small World! I'm looking forward to seeing what "heavily informal" quilting looks like :)
You are making terrific progress with the Flowerville blocks and the circles.
The sampler blocks are intriguing.
Lovely to see you quilting some of your own tops.
I love chain stitching, it's so pretty. I suppose you are right - it is slow going. Love the circles, that's going to be a pretty quilt. And I love your new project in the previous post - the triangles with the bird embroidered on the other half of the block. Very pretty.
Love the thread colour you're using.
You made lots of progress xx
A productive day. How many blocks are in Jane's Sampler? I'm guessing there will be some very intricate blocks in the future.
