Finally we have had a couple of cooler evenings....not cardy or fire weather but cooler enough to get the trusty old hoop out.
I made some progress last night and rediscovered why I loved this Robyn Pandolph design....
The fabrics are so pretty too!
Another Blessings block is prepped and applique is under way.
Splendid Sampler blocks. ....
Hmmm! Finally got a paper pieced block the RIGHT SIZE! No one is more surprised than I am. I am playing nicely but folks will never be a fan.
Block 30 is also done....so lovely and quick...
I adored the block by Charise Randall but really wanted to make this block. I decided however that I would like to applique this one. All prepared and ready to go.
So that's the state of my nation! Oh except there are rumblings and beary grumblings from the Bear stitchery tin but the girls will have to wait their turn.....after all I do only have one pair of hands!
Have a lovely weekend folks.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Nice lot of work done Michelle. You will be an expert at paper piecing and will love it. All looks fantastic. Yeah State of Origin hmm.
ReplyDeleteWell it is positively freezing in NSW.....
ReplyDeleteHaha....funny that your stitchery bears will be grumbling from their tin at you for not paying attention to them! Enjoy your creative evening.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fire and cardy weather here......11 deg at 4 p.m., but it only feels like 4.7 deg!
ReplyDeleteAm very impressed with all the splendid sampler blocks. Keep on with the foundation piecing... I do all my small( dear Jane ) blocks that way! Back home to a very wet cold Victoria, and very sleep deprived.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is looking beautiful Michelle. I have never tried foundation piecing so glad you have managed to conquer it. xx
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I have been going back and reading your blog. What type of caravan did you buy? Maybe we can meet up on the road somewhere.

ReplyDeleteWell done g eating your SS blocks done... I need to catch up, again.
Have had cooler evenings here this last week, have ben under the blanet I am crocheting the edge on. Your blocks are beautiful as is your quilting. Hope the grumbles from the tin don't get too loud!!
ReplyDeleteLove your hand quilting and your foundation piecing.
ReplyDeleteWell done keeping up with those Sampler blocks. Some are quite labour intensive despite their size.
ReplyDeleteQuilting project looking very lovely.
Lovely that you finally get to do some hand quilting Michelle. Has been a mild Autumn here, but finally turned cool this week. Lovely SS blocks
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do the block as applique instead of paper piecing, Michelle... it looks hard !! I'm sure yours will be very pretty x
ReplyDeleteYou have done a lot. Great foundation piecing. I have given up the SS but I am going to stitch tge latest one...Jenny's. Loving your applique and quilting too.
