Stock take....

I enjoyed reading Marina's blog where she did a 'stocktake' of her Works in Progress.... and I thought it was a good idea.... so I have done a sort of one 

Field Journal BOM

This was a BOM started in 2019 and run by Cottage Garden Threads... it is ongoing for those of us who wish to continue but this year has not run due to delays in getting the fabrics... but it is planned to start again next year.....

However, I am still catching up on 2019 blocks and I really would like to have them up to date before the new lot start...

I still have 9 little blocks and 2 big projects (so that's another 8 blocks)... That means I have done 25 of the little blocks.. 



Wish You Well BOM

This is a BOM by Gail Pan for this year and we get an email with our pattern at the beginning of each month.....

I am up to date with the stitcheries - these are the ones for October that I finished this week...


I snuck in a machine sewing day with a friend this week and put August's block together....


and sewed it with it's friends so this is the first 8 months


as you can see there are circles all around the edge and I have made a start on making them for all around the bottom 4 blocks ...  I find if I have these ready when it comes to sewing up the blocks its quicker and easier.....



Love Quilt

My machine sewing day helped with this quilt too by making up 8 of these checkerboard blocks.... they are 6" blocks so lots of little squares (made in strips though)



... next I will start joining checkerboards to some of the finished applique blocks


these ones were finished over the last couple of weeks....


... and this is where I am so far with these blocks...


That is all the square applique blocks... there are 8 rectangle ones to be done still and 8 more checkerboard blocks

Naive Melody Quilt

This is a new 5 month BOM I started last month via Lucy Engels on instagram.... we do 20 blocks each month 


as you can see there I still have 5 blocks to finish for this month


United Stitches

All the blocks are together and the quilt is quilted



... and waiting by my chair for sewing down the binding .....

The other project I worded on for my sewing machine day is these blocks which were prepared and so I started with the blanket stitching around the edges.....  they need a bit more stitching, tidying of stray ends and hand sewn eyes... and will eventually be make into little quilts


..... in general I am happy with my progress on these projects... which doesn't mean I am also a bit impatient as there are a few others I want to do!!!

Righto, Gotto Go.... the plan this evening is a few more Naive Melody blocks

Fiona I am in love with Wish you Well! I have a bin full of vintage embroidered linens that I have collected over the years....most have stains or tears in them but after seeing Wish you Well I think I have an idea of how to use them now! I hate to see them languishing in that bin if I can repurpose them........And how lovely the United Stitches turned out......I am in awe of your quilting abilities! And the Naive Melody is looking great! Wowza for all you do!

What a lovely list you have heading to the finish line. Nice to have a sewing day with a friend.

You are working through and making great progress on many beautiful projects Fiona.

KaHolly said...

Oh, my goodness, your Wish You Well BOM is gorgeous! As is ALL of your work. Wish I could keep as busy as you seem to!

Chantal said...

Such lovely projects, Fiona. I so love Wish You Well. It will be quite a stunner! The Love quilt is coming along great. Naive Melody is so modern that I have trouble grasping it. Maybe there is nothing to understand? Maybe I just have to appreciate the forms and colours for what they are? I'm not good with modern. But the collection of little quilts, at the end of your post, made me giggle. Those I understand, haha! Enjoy! ;^)
