EPP link up.............

Since it is the 2nd Tues of the month finally I have timed it right to link up with Anthea's Piece yourself together linky.............

you can find Antheas blog @ Hibiscus Stitches...........

Block no 4 of my Lucy Boston BOM from Shiralee Stitches.........I was stalled on the blue points and just could not get it like Sandy's but I am happy with it anyway..........

And block no 5 done too.........

Here they all are together MINUS THE STOLEN ONE...........yes STOLEN by my "friend" Who shall remain nameless....

yes yes I will get it back but not for another month........she stole it at GDITC....

not like I need another project but I have started another EPP project......

Miss Elizabeth by Carol Roberts of Cherry Pie Designs.........I am hoping not to buy anything for this quilt..........we'll see how I go............

while tidying up fabrics/scraps I have cut out some hexies to make a start..............

Another 6 Blue Lantern blocks done............my very slow EPP project............

this is the pile I have to add to the quilt........pretty close to all the blue blocks done now I think.....

And not EPP but while shopping at Shiralee Stitches I got this lovely pincushion pattern........

Hope you've got a nice paper piecing project on the go...........

I just can't get enough of it..........

Catch you later.......

2 tops in 10 in days......OMG.......

With a bit of a delay due to sleepover Aunty duties...........

finally......second quilt top finished................or maybe not............

this is without boarders..............72 x 72inch square.

border options................what do you think???

the big floral would be not quite this wide..........

I do have to get some more yardage which should be fine...........

closer up..............

And with a top together i was inspired to work on another old one.............

it's been in and out a bit lately............

even made it to the design wall and got pull back down................

another block nearly finished and most of the sashing done.....

Need to measure them all but I think the sashing has been cut 4 3/8 instead of 4 1/2 inchs............

It will work out but AARRRHHHH.........

loved the holidays and the long weekend.........

Fairy Girl is playing in a bundle of scraps, selvedges etc...........

no direction really, no rules to follow just having fun joining fabric together..........

also added in a few random left over blocks, stuff ups etc.............

Anyway hope you have enjoyed your weekend..............

So border or no border????

Help.......need your thoughts.............

Catch you later

The adventures of Peg and Dale continue...........

Thanks Jo for having us in Tassie.........we had stowed away in Helen's luggage to get from South Australia to Tassie.......but we had to lower ourselves and hop onto Australia Post as we headed north to NSW.......
Since Chookyblue went to Sydney with the "fake" Peg and Dale girls we couldn't go and confuse everyone..........Chookyblue's handbag was way to tiny to fit us is.........
but lucky for us a few weeks ago Chooky has some friends over for sewing day...........
we got to have some fun.............
It was great checking out things in the chook shed.......
"Oh Peg look what's happening on the Threadbear Newsletter"

"No power plugged into this one Dale I can't sew yet...............

"Oh Dear Peg..........the cover hasn't even made it off this one"
"Where are these girls?"
"Dale I think they are still in bed.........not up with us Chooks that's for sure"
"What time is it Dale"
"Peg it's 9am....nearly time for a cuppa and they are still sleeping"

Lucky Chooky was up early and sewing we'll give her a hand and keep her company til the girls get out here.........

"That morning sun is glorious"................

The girls must have got into the sewing as this is one quilt that was worked on.....piecing the backing for this flannel..........
"Hey Dale I have seen this quilt kit at Kerry's shop........."

And Chooky finally got another block done from this old Fat 1/4 Shop BOM............
"Bout time she finished it Dale she's had it going since 2008!!!"

oh and Chookyblue made these great Spinach and Feta Quiches for lunch..........you can find the recipe here.........they were very delicious............

"thanks for having us for your sewing sleepover Chookyblue..........hope Dale and I can come back soon........"
"So Peg where are we off too now?"
"Not sure Dale but I know we're not going home this is too much fun."

Colorado Beauty.........

This block is part of a BOM for an online group........
....each month someone picks a new block.........

The blocks are 12 1/2 inch unfinished........

I love the prints............more burgundy then brown

This bundle of fabrics is a swap with my friend Carole.

She wanted a cookbook I showed on my blog so we traded for fabric.........she

has a patchwork shop in the USA Fibre Junction Quilt Shoppe and specialises in

reproductions..........this is what she sent in return for the

cookbook.................I am very happy.........

Catch you later..............

FQS BOM blocks 4 & 8 ..........

Having a great time with the visitors...........we went to the dam for a walk and I snapped this photo - part of an old gate..........got my "favourite colour" post done for snappy friends today too..........

Finally got some sewing done..........Tutti has some skirts finished and I made 2 more blocks for the Fat Quarter Shop BOM.............I did such a good job motivating Nancy she got going and never stopped...........got it all done and signed up for the next one and she has them all up to date too.............

anyway she has been trying to re motivate me and I think she gave up but today I sat down - cleared the dust off the machine and got 2 more blocks done...........

Block Eight - "Star Party"

Block 4 - "Double Treats"

I changed the centre block of this one...........it was supposed to be the brown with red spot but I thought it looked too dark.........the red tone on tone looked heaps better...............

3 more blocks to complete.......

Take Care til next time..............

FQS BOM 9 & 3...........

During the school holidays I have finished a couple more blocks..............

Block 9 - Pinwheel Wonder

This is the block causing problems - missing pieces...............lost by "ME"......(don't cut blocks and put the pieces away from the pattern packet)...........anyway I took it with me to Club Quilt last week and Peg had some scraps and luckily she had some of the green..........I only needed 2 x 2 3/8 squares...............I got the block together on the day then...........

Block 3 - Peace in Flight

only 5 more to go..............would be great to have it done by the end of the month but I think that is pushing it...............

Take Care til next time..............

Peace BOM............

Before the fencing I got these blocks done.........

I just went back to find the one and only block I have made from this Fat Quarter Shop Mystery BOM and I am embarrassed to say it was the 15th July 2008........but having signed up for a new BOM I decided this one had to get done.............it is the pieces I cut but hadn't sewn together for block 3 I was searching for the other night when I pulled out the charm pack and we know what happened then........off on another tangent............but prior to finding the charm pack i have 4 blocks completed.........and I still have to find the missing block pieces...........

Block 11 Anka's Star designed by Heather Peterson

Block 12 Harmony designed by Me and my Sister Designs

Block 10 Steppin Up designed by Camille Roskelley

Block 2 Star Struck designed by Sandy Gervais

5 down 7 to go...........wonder how long it will take me to get some more done...........

the directions for these blocks are the best I have ever seen............

Take Care til next time...............

and Peg I am counting this as 1 finish............lol...............I know you wanted whole quilts etc but with the time I have had lately this may be the only thing I get done................lol...........

&&&&&

Oh and I signed up for Linda’s Bag Swap now………….yes Linda I am crazy………….but you have left us plenty of time to make it…..

&&&&&

And on the lamb front 3 going really well, 1 died and I am sure another one will……………dam temperamental things they are…………thank goodness my kids are well tuned to the life cycle so no tears just a sad report and arguing over who was going to take it away………..and I have hardly had to feed them since the kids are still home on school holidays…………just some mixing milk………..

&&&&&&
