SAL and Gossip in the Garden

I finished Febs blocks for the 2015 SAL, which is Anni Downs pattern Natures Journey.

I've also been working on Gossip in the Garden, also by Anni Downs, and I have to say I LOVE IT !

It's so much fun and sooooo many pretty fabrics to work with. That alone has kept me motivated.

I'm happy to say I've finished all of the applique blocks and am now working each day to join them to their pieced blocks, ready for final assembly. If all goes well I hope to have it finished in a few weeks!

( fingers, legs and toes crossed )

I've also been making more Hexie flowers for Stonefields, which I Hope to have ready to sew the final borders on in a few weeks too. ;0)

Boy, do I have some work Ahead of me!

Till next time,

Keep it stitchy Ladies.

New Year, New Quilts!

I'm Hoping everyone had a good Xmas with their loved ones and got lots and lots of much needed Fabric!

I did mean to post a few months back, but life keeps getting in the way. That happens doesn't it.

So without further ado, I would like to share with you my new project for the year.

Anni Downs new quilt, Natures Journey.

I Also joined the SAL for this quilt over at http://stitch-a-long.blogspot.com.au

Are running it, so a big Thankyou to them!

Here is my Christmas Wishes Stitchery so far, to satisfy the January Req's for the SAL.

I also purchased another beauty........

What's not to like about this quilt?

It has dresdens and Tea related items, I'm Sold!!

Ive been cross stitching a fair bit, thanks to my lovely facebook friend Lisa ;0)

I'm working on a blackbird design at the moment, I love their patterns.

I fell in love with cross stitch instantly, and have been stitching madly since November.

On a more Quilty note.....

I finally managed to get all my blocks for Stonefields Quilt in an order that I liked and sewed them altogether!!

Pheeeewwwwww!

There's so much work in the borders, I fear it might take a while. I've been making hexies like crazy.

The geese are all cut and ready to sew.

Here she is, ready for her borders.

Well that's about it from me.

I wish everyone all the very best for the New Year.

Keep it Stitchy Ladies ! XoX !

Till next time,
