FNSI for March and a busy Saturday.

Even though Wendy was busy with elections at her place some of the ladies were able to sew along for FNSI… thank you Wendy and I hope you weren’t too busy. 
I decided to work on my La Passacaglia block 
















And also go through my stash and find some fabrics to make a reading cushion.

After brekky this morning I went for my dip with the ladies. The water was beautiful and we watched  the mullet swimming along and jumping out the water. Then we noticed a couple of small reef sharks trying to catch the fish….they were too busy to worrying about us .

On my return home I showered ,went to the shop and then joined Chooky and ladies for a great Zoom meeting it was good catching up and chatting while doing some more stitching on La Passacaglia 




This round is nearly complete ……


I also need to make a baby quilt for one of our young bobbing ladies so auditioned some fabrics for that .

Thanks Chooky for a fun Zoom session.

Later in the afternoon it was time to go to croquet as it was our groups 1st anniversary and we had guests coming to join us from Geraldton. We finished croquet early enough for me to pop down to our Patch room and join in for a lesson on how to do bullions……

 Mine aren’t very good so I think I need a lot more practice but we had a great time.
I had a very busy fun day.


So I must away now and do some bullion practice 

Happy Stitching ๐Ÿงต

March Challenge and FnwF

A new month so it’s time for our new number for the “Chookshed Challenge” orgainised by Deana…and this months No is “4”




After checking my list my #4 is to start a new project.


I have this HUGE box of scraps and I thought ๐Ÿค” what’s a girl to do with them??? 


So I bought this book.






 What a perfect time to start going through the box and cutting out the blocks , putting them in bags, labelling them ready to take to our annual retreat in August as it was what I planned to be making then.

 I MAY be able to work on something smaller for a finish ???



As it’s also the first Friday of the month I’ll be joining FnwFs . Even though Cheryll. Has visitors she has kindly put up the link for us to sew a long. Thank so much because I am hoping to make my Aussie Hero blocks and #8and #9 of The Laundry Basket Birthday Blocks. 

Must away and sort some fabrics.

Happy Stitching ๐Ÿงต

FNSI for February

Third Friday of the month again and time to sign up for FNSI with Wendy and friends….after not having internet for a few days I could finally download the next Laundry Basket Birthday blocks.







The blocks have many tiny pieces and Block 6 had the smallest flying geese.










Block 7 

then onto Aussie Hero Blocks..

After taking this photo I realised both blocks were wrong . Can you see what??


Before it was time to go to bed I had time to audition the fabrics for the next La Passacaglia block.

Thank you Wendy for another FNSI.


Must away now and cut the EPP blocks ready to stitch.
