Sparrow is Flying





Hi Friends

 

Following prep of 8 applique blocks at last month's getaway I've stitched every chance I could and below is the result!

Little Sparrow (design by Susan Smith) is together but still has some finishing touches by way of a little embroidery for sparrow beaks and legs as well as detail in a few leaves & flowers.

 

I started this quilt at Summer School 2010 - 7 Years Ago!!

Now its onto getting that embroidery done and continuing with other projects underway.

Until next time

Happy Stitching

Hi Friends

 

Here we are Marching on through the year. Time is zipping by but JulieAnn & I tried our best to slow it down by having a couple of days getting away from it all at our favourite little place in Tumut, NSW Australia.

This is the view from our Cabin; you can see why we love it here!

Happy Ladies Wining & Stitching

JulieAnn has been working on her Sarah's Revival,

a design by the late Sue Garman.

There are so many components to this quilt, I felt JA achieved greatly by getting it to the joining stage

Just so you know, the whole quilt is needle-turn applique - just gorgeous

I'd previously traced all pieces of Little Sparrow (Susan Smith design) onto freezer paper so spent the weekend organising fabrics and getting them cut & glued into place ready for stitching. The Centre is complete, along with top & lower large blocks; still quite a lot of work ahead of me.....

And here we are; happy friends after a fabulous weekend but sad to be leaving to go back home

 

 

Thankyou for checking in, I think I'm going to play with our layout again, as this one doesn't allow photos to be full size. (as you can see, that's just what I did)

 

 

Til next time,

Happy Stitching
