Better luck this time...

I stitched a hexie block for Charmayne for her table cloth but it hasn't arrived. So out came another piece of fabric and thread and stitch away again. I have completed another one so I do hope it get there this time....


Here is what she is doing.
Next little job was a  poppy block for Aussie Heroes. It measures 7" and when all are received they will be joined together to make a special quilt.

Let's hope this turns up in the mail....
 I even spun the seams and got the the black circle in the centre. Very impressive...

Another finish during FNWF

I have had a great afternoon joining in with FNWF.
I finished quilting this quilt after it has been in my cupboard for a couple of years. I have a great friend who made me a few tops and I quilted a few quilts for her. Thanks Sue.. I also used this project to teach her how to do this pattern. It's a very easy design.
After I got it all quilted I found out there wasn't enough prepared binding with it. So a quick call to my friend and a drive YES she had some fabric to match. Now the binding is on.

And here is a close up of the quilting. I followed the weave pattern and FMQ it very easily.
I'm happy with it.


More sewing I did this week was my quilt shop blocks for the DOD row mystery
We could put any design quilt to hang on the front. I found a small piece of this cute XMAS fabric so I went with that theme. I added a little bling and a few buttons.
If you make one block each month you get next months pattern for free.
You can also make some blocks to swap. Then you can get some great blocks from all over the world..
This is the block I will swap

And this one is for me to keep.


I also help out and make quilts for the AUSSIE HEROES.

There was a request for POPPY BLOCKS for a special project...

AUSSIE HERO QUILTS

I have been making quilts for the AUSSIE HEROS

and now am helping with making blocks to add to  quilts. Jan-Maree does a great job organising this. It takes a lot of time, emails & follow up communication.
Go and have a read. Find out all about it and enjoy the stories.

These are the blocks I have done.
