Mid March update

 

This mornings sunrise, if I wasn't in my pj's I would have driven to the lookout for a better shot, one day....

I have been busy sewing a By Annie Ultimate Travel Bag and I am so happy with it

This epic bag is huge, it has pockets everywhere the newer version of the pattern has a bigger suitcase handle support but never mind, I would make it again but.... if you read the instructions as every pattern says to the last page says to photocopy this page and cut and use, it is labels for every pattern piece now if I had done this I would have saved myself a bit of grief and confusion. The instructions were good although I did watch a few By Annie you tube videos which helped a lot with binding and bulky seams.

My Chookshed Challenge for March is panels I was undecided wether to finish a panel quilt or start a new one and I decided to finish one forst so the quilting is done and the binding on and the last stage being the hand sewing of the binding has started, This is a cute quilt that was done as a workshop at Coolah Country Patchwork las year, I'm making this for my great niece, there is also another almost identical for her sister, it still needs to be quilted.

Oh look another panel.... I went to Craftalive in Tamworth on the weekend, it wasn't a huge show but there were a few shops there with some bargains and Logans Patchwork had this cute cot panel and a few other new designs that may have got into my bag. I just need a new grandchild now.

February's done!

 Thank goodness February is gone it was way too hot, I'm not expecting it to cool down yet just not be over 40c. Husband dear is melting in the humidity in Wollongong through the week so he's doing it tough too.

Chookshed Challenge for February is done and I am so happy with it, I can't wait for it to be quilted and then it's off to a friend as a thank you for letting us stay at her place whenever we go to Wollongong and hubby live there throught the week.

Livvy is inspecting my work.

CHOOKSHED CHALLENGE FOR MARCH IS 4, which for me is a panel quilt, I have 3 tops to quilt that are are from panels and I have another panel to make a quilt top with I haven't decided yet which I will concentrate on.

Some pics below a lovely sunrise and the pineapples are growing nicely,there are 3 now. My SAHRR quilt top has slowed, the next border is ready I have been finishing some bindings getting things ready for the Gunnedah Show next month. Finished is an orange scrap quilt and My Kinship Fusion quilt which is 1 block a day for 100 days.

The local fabric shop is closing and there is a closing sale, I may have spent a couple of months fabric budget oh well it will get used, there is a few quilt backs in the pile of loveliness.
