WIP Wednesday.....

Again? Already??

Far out the weeks go by so fast. I feel like I'm a salmon swimming up stream. Doing heaps of work and getting nowhere.

In the last week I have quilted 3 customer quilts

Put together all my dresden wedges

Almost got Oscars dino quilt together

Made a start on the Farmers Wife Sampler.

 I found a yahoo group were they have all the foundation piecing papers to print out. Beats all those templates!!!

Made a start on getting curtains on the windows. I'm really sick of the $2 fabric thats hanging over the windows at the moment.

Been to our Modern Quilt Guild were we almost got the blocks for 2 quilt tops for charity done.

Wowzers.... when I right it down I have been a busy beaver....

I am linking up with the WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced. Go over and get a hit of inspiration...

WIP Wednesday.....

This week I have just been trying to finish what I have started.

My Dresden Plate pieces are being ironed. It's taken so long to get these done. Maybe I was a bit ambitous. It will be lovely when it's done.

Almost all ironed......

Oscars Dino quilt.

All the stack n slash blocks are done,I just need to put this one together.

This is the panel I started with.....

These are the blocks I made to go with the panel.....

Ive' been cutting some blocks for a charity quilt we are making through our Modern Quilt Guild. I only have to cut the white and it's all ready for members to sew up the blocks.

That's what I've been up to. Go over to Freshly Pieced and check out what others are up to on WIP Wednesday.

A Custom Finish...

This poor quilt or should I say the poor owner of the quilt has waited so long for this to be done. Finally it's finished. The photos aren't the best because the sun was too bright. I'm not complaining, at least the rain has gone....

A close up of a border.....

The beautiful peakcock centre.....

You can see that I stitched in the ditch. The back always looks great...

Hope you enjoyed looking. On to the next.....

WIP Wednesday.....

Here we are again, Wednesday...

I missed last weeks WIP because I wasn't well and didn't do too much of anything.

This week however, has been a different story.

I have a customer quilt loaded that I am doing custom quilting on. I have stitched all the seams in the ditch and now I'm onto the freehand quilting. I am really enjoying it.

The quilt has beautiful embroidered birds....

Freehand swirls on a spine...

For my personal sewing I thought I had better get Oscars dinosaur quilt underway. I promised it to him last year.

It's a printed panel with dinosaurs on it and I am doing stack'n'slash blocks to go around it.

Stack'n'slash is always fun and easy....

On these cold wintery nights it's nice to snuggle down with some yarn and crochet some granny squares. The only trouble with it is the squares are never big enough to make me warm. lol. I'm getting lots done. I want it to be quite big so I'll be going on it for a while I think.

Hope you are having fun with whatever you are doing.

I have linked up over a Freshly Pieced. Go over and check out all the inspirational blogs.

Oscar is 12

My middle boy, Oscar, is 12. Gee that time went fast. He goes to high school next year. Nooo he can't be that old.

He was such a cute little baby. He had the biggest blue eyes and didn't complain too much.

Nothing has changed really. He still has gorgeous big blue eyes and he's a good boy (most of the time)

Happy Birthday My Middle Boy

Luv Mum xo
