Day 14

A lazy Saturday was just what I needed.

A trip to Quiltsmith saw the purchase of this yellow fabric for the next Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. I have never finished one but hope springs eternal.

 

Finally something new on TV tonight. Whilst watching Scott and Bailey this hexagon was stitched.

 

So there you have it. Two weeks gone and time found for me to the things I love Each day achieved. Bring on week three.

Finally just because I can another photo of CLEO..She suffers from the heat so she is in heaven now that Laurie has set her up with her own personal fan.

It's been a long time between posts. My mojo seemed to have taken a walk but it seems to be back now.

I do a monthly class with Sue Ross. We are not the most productive group so this year we are making a mystery quilt. Each month Sue gives us a block and we need to get it done. Here is the first block.

 

I made a start on the second block yesterday. Love my fussy cut star.

 

Everyone has made their blocks in such different colour ways. It will be interesting at the end of the year to see how different or alike they all look.

Head on over to Judy's to see what others have been up to this week.

 

Design Wall Monday

I finally made a start on my Sue Ross Block of the Month from Material Obsession. It's a lovely quilt that will be a while in the making.

I also finished two Just Takes Two blocks.

I love the Robert Kaufmann organic fabric I'm using but have noticed it does fray more than regular cotton.

Design Wall Monday

Last Wednesday and Thursday I did a class with Sue Ross at Quiltsmith. It was paper piecing which I wasn't a huge fan of before the class and still I'm not but for this quilt it is the way to go.

Here's a snippet of Sue's quilt posted with her permission.



Here's my progress at the end of day one



the end of day two



and over the weekend.



The rings aren't sewn together yet and shock horror I may even try sewing them in on the machine. Then again I may not.

I've discovered my Bernina likes paper more than my Janome so will use it for this project.

I'm not sure if this block will make the final cut - it was good to have a practice first I think.

BTW for the Sydney siders Melinda has installed blinds in the classroom and it has made a world of difference. It was much cooler in the classroom than the outside temperature.
