FNWF......Adding borders...

Friday night I joined into Friday night with Friends. I spent time knitting more rows on my Hitchhiker scarf. I now have 4 points to go. But I am thinking of using the second ball to make it even bigger.

Saturday and Sunday I spent time at my machine. Poor thing must be feeling neglected but gee it is good to working on this quilt top.

Natures Journey is a pattern designed by the talented Anni from Hatched and Patched. This quilt top began as part of the stitch a long run by Chooky. I completed all the appliqué and cut out the fabric towards the end of 2015.

This weekend I have added the checkerboard border and also added the appliqué border. The weekend is not over and I still have two borders to add.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a child to leave the confines of her bedroom to hold the quilt top so the top borders folder over the clothesline.

Thanks for dropping by..... Simone

Plodding along....

Making some progress....

After a weekend away in September and stitching down my squares I haven't picked up this project.

A lot of my time has been spent making hexagon flowers for a facebook group I am in.  I think I was 'sucked' into the group with the 'rules' for the group changing as quick as the members grew.   Anyway I am over halfway and thought that this week I have off would be spent knitting a shawlette and also starting to sew together my Nature's Journey quilt top.

Here are a picture of the Hitchhikers shawlette I think I have about 80 rows to go... 

I have also begun making the nine patches for the next border for Nature's Journey as well.

Background pieced together

I am so pleased I had some time to piece my background. I didn't read the instructions properly and had to piece the large block back together. But I am happy with the result.







I haven't finished June blocks.

I have moved house! I am now back on the mortgage pathway. I am very excited to be in a great house.

This is my living area. Photo is taken leaning up against the kitchen bench.







I am nearly all sorted and can now start back on these blocks.

So glad to be back. Now I need to catch up in all the posts I have missed.

Checking in

It has been a while since I posted but certainly lots has happened.

Last week I travelled from home to Cobar to Hay back home via Griffith and then flew to Sydney.
All for work.

While I was in Cobar I dropped into the Cobar quilt shop and caught up with one of my gorgeous friends Susan Black.

She talked me into some purchases.

Tonight at sewing I started to cut into the layer cake. day Dream by Kate Spain.








I am also plodding along with my Natures Journey. The month isn't up yet.


I am in the middle of an essay which is due Tuesday after Easter so I want to get it finished so I can relax.

Have more to post but will check in later.
