Last week of September


Well, it seems a bit surprising that we are at the end of September..... ALREADY!

This year I didn't even manage to get to the local quilt show (actually there were several nearby!) but I look forward to the big one in the capital next month....

This week I spent Tuesday morning at Quilt club and stitched more framed hexagons together....


... and Thursday morning at Embroidery Guild got these blocks stitched....



Car and end of day time is knitting these blocks for KOGO.... they are especially wanting to make blankets in indigenous colours - next ball is red...  

I do notice my tension is not very consistent... it is improving....


I have been working on this applique in the evenings for the last couple of weeks - another done for Caswell....


Hubz and I have visited a few of the Carnival competition gardens and Parks, which is fun to see even if they set off hayfever madly!!

This weekend Quilt Group are having a 2 day retreat at our meeting place - sew all day and go home to sleep - lunch is provided.....

Righto, Gotto Go.......  off to sew sew sew !!!

Caswell is looking beautiful, that's a pretty block! Well done on the other stitching, and the knitting too. Yes, that's three quarters of the year just about gone.....

Another busy week in the sewing room. It is lovely to visit other gardens. Great idea for your 2 day retreat. Enjoy.

Are you nearly at the end of sewing the FJ hexies?
Your Caswell block is so pretty.
Your KOGO look good to me and all will be great when sewn together.
Our group have several Stay At Home Retreats . We start Friday evening through to Sunday afternoon tea. All meals and morning and afternoon teas supplied and it’s great to go home and sleep in our own bed.
Enjoy yours…..

Beautiful Caswell block and your pile of Sashiko blocks must be growing nicely. I never get to many of the exhibitions I want to see - time just flies! xx

Your appliqué is so precise. I’m impressed with your little pieces.

Gosh hasn''t September flown by so fast !! (I know I say that about every month) ... your Caswell is so pretty Fiona. Lots of work in that block. We have our big quilt show next week & its only 20 minutes down the road at a local town so I will definately be going this year. xx

Cute hexes and your applique block is gorgeous. I might need to find an applique project when my mojo returns.
