Another block towards my Caswell quilt is done...
So that is 9/30 blocks done (if I do them all)
This week I had my second Shingles vaccination...... and on the next day I felt really foul so I stayed quiet at home and did a bit of embroidery....
I managed to finish this flower in between naps and tea .....
Feeling much better but for the ache in the arm and a second flower is done, I am up to date (until tonight when the next one drops!), although there is still quite a bit of the vine still to do...
I had my garment sewing day on Sunday and finished off making a shirt for Hubz.... our tutor April drew up the pattern for me from one of his favourite shirts
It's a blue denim colour made in a poplin
My mistake was putting the buttons and buttonholes on the wrong sides! Duh.... He's a good sport and still wore in proudly when we went into town!
I even put a label on it!!! haha

April (our tutor) helped me make alterations to this jacket pattern (my bust and butt fit different sizes and the armhole was too tight). So I have made up my fake one and the fit is good so next month I hope to be working on this jacket which I am making from this quilt (made for daughter 15 years ago but she likes different colours now so it's going to be chopped up for me)
This one is from a pattern by the late Rosalie Decker and is called Flowerville - made in Tilda fabrics and I think it is so lovely and pretty.....
I had some pretty backing leftovers I could join to make it fit
I quilted the backgrounds differently, wriggles for the pink and cross hatch for that yummy mushroom colour
Lots of little dresden plate pieces go round the different embroideries...
.... of course a new crochet blanket has been started for the evenings. I was going to make a cot blanket but this lovely soft chenille type yarn has some bits of bling in it and I am finding little pieces all around my house.... it won't do for a baby blanket so I am making a bigger one.... pink, white and grey.... (you can spot a few shiny pieces in the picture)

That's my lot for the week, seems like lots but mostly it was just finishing off things that had been started last month...
Have a lovely weekend, it's Mothers Day here so BBQ lunch for me with dessert by DD
Righto, Gotto Go......xx
