The Last Block

 Santa's house... was completed & then all the blocks were sewn together.

I joined them by using a narrow border around each block, then added a slightly wider outer border using the same background fabric. I'm ready to start the quilting so it can be delivered to it's new home.

I'm really HaPPy with the table runners design, so I hope DD#2 likes it as well.

Once it's delivered I will post a pic.

Two To Go...

A Christmas Tree is the second to last block... And now it's done... yeah 

Another great night with friends this month...well done Wendy.

And I cut out the next blocks applique too.

At FNSI

 I worked on a GingerBread Man... & managed to finish him.

Then... as I'd already cut out lots of leaves for a wreath... I pressed them in place & stitched them all down too.

I'm pretty happy with the effort on Friday night... 

must have been the great company 😉😜

THANKS Wendy for inviting me over to sew with you...

Making Progress

I have a Santa face, a Snowman and a Santa & Reindeer stitched & ready for DD#2 table runner. Next up is a GingerBread Man now...

It feels good to be back home AGAIN after a hectic week away on the Gold Coast.

GeTTinG ReADy for CHRisTMaS

 by making a table topper for my entry. 

A very simple design but it suits the ornaments that will go on top in December.

And a gift was started for DD#2 for her dining table. 

A Santa... and... to follow a few Snowmen & maybe more.

CaTcHinG Up...

After our sunny, warm & restful caravan holiday away up north in Queensland, I have a few items that are now finished ready to show...

The Canine Cuties Dog Quilt is completely finished...

This pattern is called Happy Tails by Suzy's Sitcom.

My RSC 2026 quilt is now bound & ready to go to a charity...

Two E2E crochet rugs are packed & ready to go (shown in an earlier post). 

This blue one was finished while on holidays so that's 3 rugs off to another charity.

Who Let The Dogs Out - part 6

Blocks 11 & 12 are the final ones in this design. 

It's been a joy to work on this quilt & a finish is close as well as I did this one QAYG. Not quite to the original design but mine measures 44 inch x 58 inch.

HoW MuCH FuN HaS It BeeN To LeT THe DoGs OuT...

I've Been Using...

donated yarn to crochet 2 x rugs as donations to a charity. 

They are both really BRIGHT but they'll keep someone warm this winter I'm sure. 

The design is a corner to corner... C2C... & it's really simple.

Back Into It...

 I finally got Teena in quilting mode again. 

It's been  a g e s  since she had a workout and what else can you do on a drizzly winters day?

Originally a Jen Kingwell design called Bonnie Lass but I used larger pieces & in one colour for each block. These blocks were sewn to participate in the RSC2026.

Now onto the binding & label as this is a Community quilt.

It feels good to be interested in stitching again.

Who Let the Dogs Out - part 5

 Blocks 9 & 10...

Community Quilt

NOT a lot of sewing going on in my cubby as I've found it hard to shake this bug...😷. However I did manage to add a binding & as this quilt is now completely finished, it's been added to the Novocastrian Quilters donation pile. 

It measures 40 inch x 60 inch so a great lap sized quilt for someone.

Sadly it will be my one & only finish for the month of MAY ...😂

Thanks Wendy for giving me a push at FNSI to sew this binding onto a long overdue finish.

Who Let The Dogs Out - part 4

 BLoCK 7... &... I chose to make the BoNuS block in lieu of Block 8.

Only 4 blocks to go...

* * * * *

RSC 2026

Another quilt flimsy is finished by using the blocks I made during the past months of this challenge. The original pattern was by Jen Kingwell called Bonnie Lass. 

It's in her book titled "Quilt Lovely".

The original design was made using smaller scraps & LOTS of different lights & darks paired together.

I already had 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch rectangles cut, so I used them.

Now that bin is all but empty...yeah...👍

And as I've been "under the weather" I'm late publishing my March finish.

* * * * *

Who Let The Dogs Out - part 3

 Blocks 5 & 6 PLUS a bonus block.

These blocks are a LoT of FuN...

After FNwF

 Another community quilt is finished.

This-n-That

RSC2026 colour for March is RED... click  HeRe  to visit Angela.

I'll make more IF I need a few more red blocks to infill...

AND... Another "panel" has come out of the box... surely the box's content is going down 😱. 

I'll be working on it at a rescheduled FNwF on Friday.

M.R. for February

My monthly roundup of finishes total ... 6

FiNiSHeD Quilts

 A few more "stash busting" quilt projects finished.

Puppy & Pals...

Thomas the Tank Engine...

Emergency Services...

AnD 

another project from years ago is finally done & dusted.

When I first bought rulers I practiced on 12 inch blocks with circles & lines.

I made up a different design in each block to see how they looked.

Anyways, fast forward to today- when they are all put together I think they make an rather interesting lap sized quilt.

I'm Seeing GReeN

 My 2yo  GS#3 loves Dinosaurs AND the colour GREEN... 

so of course I made this for him...

With a simple zip closing at the lower edge.
