sewing, sewing.....


The first row of Civil War Bride is together.....  looks so much better than individual blocks


I have prepared up some of the next block and am sewing the stems at night....

I find them a bit fiddly so that is a whole Harry Potter films worth!!



This little quilt had it's binding sewn down during another film!


It's lovely and soft with a fairly loose quilting....


... and another Field Journal has been completed.  This was my first time doing the wheat stitch which I love the effect, Mr Google was very helpful finding a resource to teach me....


Hubz has been off work this week so lots of sorting in the shed has been done.... the jigsaw has been finished...

This one was quite a challenge and I have ordered jigsaw glue so it can be preserved and framed....


A plumbing problem used up a whole day (his and mine) and made a lot of mess and multiple calls to plumber son .... but I think it's sorted and the mess has been cleaned!

Righto, Gotto Go..... I have some quilting to do!

Your Civil War Bride are lovely sewn together and it would be a lot of work sewing the stems.
Sweet little quilt now finished and the stitching on the Field Journal block is beautiful.
Oh that would have been a difficult puzzle to put together and will look gorgeous framed..
Pleased she’d sorting done and plumbing fixed....
Happy quilting! 😘

The first row looks wonderful with the blocks together. Beautiful work.
And well done finishing the binding on the little quilt.
I am still loving those field journal blocks. They are all so delicate.
The jigsaw is stunning. Don't let anyone bump it!

Love your little quilt, very pretty and your Field journal block is beautiful. Plumbing jobs are the worst, always messy and seems the water goes everywhere. Hope you got it sorted. That jigsaw looks complicated, no wonder you wish to preserve it. xcx

What a great jigsaw for Hubz
Civil War is looking lovely.

Sounds as if you are lucky having a plumber son!

Those blocks do look gorgeous together. Pretty quilt and Field Journal is another lovely block. Plumbing problems are a nuisance! - glad it is sorted out and plumbers are like gold dust so good to have one in the family! xx

Civil War Bride has a wonderful beginning. Love the first row and can't wait to see more. Love the wheat stitch too. Haven't seen this one before I think. Enjoy the weekend. ;^)

Wow, Civil War bride is coming along stunningly.
Plumbing problems are the worst (and expensive). Glad you have it sorted now. Enjoy your weekend :)

I hope the plumbing problem has been fixed without too much angst. Love the little quilt. It looks very snuggly. Oh my! Those blocks really do look so different when joined together to make a beautiful row. Well done! I really love your embroidery and now I am intrigued about the wheat stitch. Google here I come lol.

Isn't it amazing how stitching those blocks together makes them look like a whole story? I love how quilts become more and more organized and pleasing as the process moves along. Civil War Bride is going to be such a beauty!

Yes, the blocks do look wonderful together. I bet it was a good feeling to complete the jigsaw.
