It's been quite some time, but I can really say I am excited, esctatic even!!
Tomorrow JulieAnn & I are heading off to Talbingo Mountain Retreat for a long weekend of stitching, relaxation, good times, wine & Friendship with a most lovely group of ladies.
Since my last post I've been progressing along with a couple of projects. They are definitely on the to do list this weekend.
Firstly I got the centre of French Mosaic completed, slightly modified from the original by Karen Cunningham, then attached first border #1. I got stuck with this fabric & ended up ordering something new & of course its another French General. WOW....how long it had been to get "happy mail".
Removing Papers
Centre Stitched
An Afternoon at the Machine
First Border & what I had for Final Border
The New Border Fabric
I've also got back to the Convict Challenge quilt - now this was meant to be finished in 2012. I'm very late, but keen for it to grow. My Brown Paper Bag was predonimantly pinks & yellows. I decided on paper piecing, its a design definitely in progress. My inspiration came from Annette Gero's book "The Fabric of Society - Australia's Quilt Heritage from Convict Times to 1960".
Sew til next time - very soon, happy stitching. I plan on updating a little more frequently. You can follow me on Instragram; User lmg065.

Your projects are looking good !! Just found your blog and read some of the older post.
ReplyDeleteI saw you are working on Little sparrows (just received that pattern). Did you finished that quilt?
Hi Carin, I'm glad you found us. JulieAnn & I both started Little Sparrow at a Summer School with Susan a few years ago now. For both of us it remains on the to-do list...with lots to-do!
