Sew it's finished - 2013

I still have many, many UFOs - some not even started. I managed to achieve a few last year - hoping to cross some more off my list in 2013.

Here's to a productive year. Thanks Dawn and Wendy for hosting.

Cheers

Almost there

A big day today, but I'm almost over the line. Just top and bottom borders to go.

I'm taking the quilt on holidays with us - thinking about taking it to the local quilt shop and getting it quilted there. That way if they can do it in the time frame, i can put the binding on while away. When i come home it will just be the label!

Here it is:

Not great photos, but you get the idea!

Thanks to all for the inspiration and the pushing. I'm quite happy with the result and very glad I've got here.

There are sqeals of excitement - just little ones - dont want to wake the kids!!

Two columns sew together

I am absolutely delighted to be able to report that I have two columns of My Favourite Things Quilt sewn together. I've almost finished the third.

No photos as I need to go to bed. But there will be photos tomorrow!

Thanks to Chooky Blue and all the SAL girls. I would never have kept going with this quilt without the peer presssure - just seeing what everyone else was doding made me want to keep going!

I'm going to get there.

Cheers

Another block completed

Only one block totally finished today. Another three to put finishing touches to. Plan was for some rows to come together today - that didn't happen. Tomorrow it will. Looks like holidays won't start until Monday. So a few more days. Would like my quilt top together before we go.

Plans, plans, plans!!

Another two blocks finished

I've finished the hand stitching on another two blocks for Some Kind of Wonderful stitch-a-long. Here they are:

Hope to start sewing some rows together tomorrow.

Update tomorrow night.

Another fire

It was only last October that I wrote about a fire in eldest DS' bedroom. On New Years Eve, one of our children lit a fire in a bag of tea towells and it went into the wall of the house and into the flooringof our family room above. Quite a scary time. Damage to the house.

We were just finishing the repairs to the bedroom. Lots of stuff had been stored in the room that was damaged this time and I was so looking forward to getting all that sorted and the room could be used again. Now its a waiting game to get insurance finalised, etc.

The good news is that everyone is safe and no one got hurt. We still have a house to live in. Unfortunately, we have a very troubled child to cope with as well.

2013 is going to be a fantastic year. Lots of projects planned - as always, lots of finishing on my lists. But a few new ones will sneak in as well.

SKOW SAL

I'm back! The last two months of 2012 have been filled with dance concerts, end of year events, and then preparation for Christmas. Finally I'm back working on the stitchalong project.

Here are my latest two blocks.

Not great photos, but I need to get back to sewing. I have all my strips cut. Big progress will be made today!

Cheers
