Edited …. August is Aqua

  August over at Angela’s is AQUA. I received my Bordertown B’s back from Judy. She has done an amazing job at quilting it for me.

(Close up photos to come)

Now it is time to get the binding done. Trimming up.


I think I have enough of the aqua backing to do it. Time to measure and get started.


Yes, there was enough. I needed 11.5 metres of binding. 

It’s all sewn on and I have a few days of slow stitching to hand stitch it down then it will be a finish.

Of course there were leftovers so what did I do?


Make 2 more placemats.


This is now 39 out of 50 made.


Linking up with Kathy for Slow Stitching Sunday and Angela for Scrap Happy Saturday.
Now to get back to my binding.

Purple month is done

Back to my purple quilt and it’s time for borders.

 I have played with purples again while I had the mess out on my table


A scrappy stripped border is done


Then with the leftovers from the last group of placemats and this border I made this placemat.

Making this no. 38 out of 50. I’m getting closer.

I’m linking up with Angela

And now for the colour for AUGUST… it’s AQUA

August # 7 CHOOKSHED challenge - quilt my Dalmatian quilt

 My # 7 for this month’s challenge is to quilt my round robin Dalmatian quilt.

I finished this quite some time ago and started it in March 2020.We did a fun round robin where we worked on our own quilt but with monthly themes chosen. It was really fun to do. It has been basted since January 2023.

It’s time to get it quilted.
