Crazy lady is out off control and gets 2nd quilt tops completed in 24 hours.......

Do you use Clover forked pins...............I love using them especially when joining rows..................the seam sits nicely and they are a fine pin...

Just love this pattern...........Framed by Bonnie and Camille.............

Will definitely be making this one again...........

OK that's enough shock for one day.......this body needs rest.............

nighty night..........

Catch you later............

When push comes to shove.....

When push comes to shove maybe I should say gentle encouragement...........no actually she was talking whip cracking to keep me on task so lets leave it is was..........

I was laying on the lounge in the Chookshed looking at the design wall with bits  of a quilt on it................I text Kris @ Tag Along Teddies about a parcel.............the long and the short of it is she got my A%$#$#SE moving and I got motivated to sew..............I kept sending her photos of my progress to remain accountable........

The fabrics are from Washington Depot by Denyse Schmidt and I got mine at The Next Stitch ..............I used the Moda Love pattern that I have made previously and I love it as a quick effective design...........I didn't quite have the right size blocks as I wasn't using a layer cake so I cut everything 1/2inch smaller.............I think it will measure about 68x68in now.
So here is Christmas Star as named by Kris............
this is my second quilt using grey and surprise surprise I am really happy with the quilt........

So after all that sewing I was very motivated and pulled out Framed (my first grey quilt)..........I started this one back in June? God knows why I never got back to it..............Fairy Girl packed it up from the design wall when we were cleaning up the chookshed..............loving how this is coming together too and I'm running out to the Chookshed to get a little done before I head to work.............

Not sure whats wrong......boxing day my machines even did something unheard of.......never knew it was possible.......I actually mended 3 items.......inbetween my 4 nanna naps..........

Catch you later.....

PS after a 1000 texts back and forwards thanks heaps Kris but how is the pattern writing going?????

Sewing.......

Last Sat was another sewing day with friends.........

Nundle last year...............Sue worked on this quilt...........just attached the binding...now to sew it down............

Janice also got some binding on a quilt............. sorry I missed getting a photo of her quilt..........

I've got all my blocks done and started joining rows............just getting a little piece of yellow to make another yellow block for the top left corner...........

Take two on my tincy pincushion.........and I succeeded.........next to the reject of last week......much better to iron as you go with this tincy sucker and also to cut the pieces a little wider then the instructions said.......

When I looked at the second picture with this pattern it is a cushion in a dolls house.......2 1/4" finished

Janice even had a go.......we just need to stuff and stitch opening closed........

Its been a busy time with visitors.....kids friends staying too........

now another mountain of sheets and towels to wash.........at least its been windy and I have water..........

I thought it was all going pear shaped Friday afternoon when I spent a few hours at the hospital with Boy Wonder and an eye injury but luck was on his side....... and things were not as bad as they could have been.........

Hope you have enjoyed a great weekend..........

Catch you later.....
