Design Wall Monday

A little bit of progress on two projects this week. First up one completed and one almost done hexagon for French Mosaic. You can see other WIP's  here. Mine will eventually be very close to the original.

I've also been covering some 5/8" hexagons for a quilt with Brigitte. No idea where she is going with this but I love her designs and know she has a plan and it will be lovely. See examples of her and her students work here.

Progress was definitely hindered this last week because of a fall I took. My left arm has some tendon damage and I think I will have to bite the bullet and see a physio this week. Over the weekend I planted over 50 new plants - including this beautiful camillia. Not conducive to aiding the healing process but good for the soul.

Pop over to Judy's to see what others have been up to.

Design Wall Monday

I haven't really participated in Judy's design wall Monday this year as I seem to be accomplishing very little. I have decided that doesn't matter and have resolved to post whatever I have got done through the week. I flip projects on a regular basis but I'm hoping the challenge of having something new to show each week will motivate me.

First up this week my first completed octagon flower. I am making this in a class with Sue Ross. A gazillion more to go.

I also worked on Isaac's flying geese quilt. 3 of 61 blocks complete and at least another 100 flying geese units ready to sew into blocks.

I want this quilt finished before his brother or sister is born. The due date is December 6 so completely doable.

On my needles.

Some more progress this week on the Sunny Baby Blanket.

There would have been more but Laurie wasn't handy to hold the skein whilst I wound it into a ball. i think I need a yarn winder. Do you have a favourite type and if so why? Choice is limited here in Australia but I can always shop online if need be.

On my needles.

I finished knitting the Baby Kina earlier this week, A little sewing and darning left to do so a photo next week. 

Continuing on the baby theme, I have cast on this blanket

.The yarn is from Spud & Chloe. It's a wool cotton mix and a joy to work with, It's a 10 ply so the blanket should work up quickly.
