February link up seems to have arrived in a flash. CHERYLL from Gone Stitching hosted us HERE for our virtual sew in.
After a hairdressing appointment and an easy dinner I headed off to my sewing CAVE on a mission....tell you about that shortly.
When I finally parked myself with my stitching, time was slipping away.
I had the tiniest bit left to stitch on this Postcard from Romancing the Road trip quilt.
So I finished it off and then began my next one......
I ended up having a bit of a late night and got a good head start on the next one.
Recently looking back over some photos friend Lorel bought to sewing group of quilts we had made each other for special birthdays....we came across the one made for the baby of our group Jacky.
It suddenly dawned on me that somewhere in the CAVE were blocks I had made for the same quilt! So that was my mission.....to find them!
The quilt is the beautiful design by Leanne May....Beyond the Garden Gate.
After much drawer diving and bin peeking, I found them!
But there were only 2 traced ones left and I couldn't find the last, as the quilt has 9 blocks....more rifling and I found this pretty tin. I remembered it held the threads for this project. Yay! More progress!
When I opened it the last block was tucked inside partially stitched!
So folks I guess I have another UFO. Lol! They are such pretty blocks....I can't say I am that displeased! And two and half blocks is not toooo bad.
Enjoy your weekend and if Mother Nature's not playing nice where you are please stay safe!
My thoughts go out to all those affected by the bush fires in Tasmania and the deluge from the monsoon in North Queensland.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

ReplyDeleteI love the way you are personalising the postcard blocks. Yes, you have a new UFO, but there has been quite a good start made already. It will be so pretty.
