My grandsons quilt in progress.

My Grandson is 5 on Thursday. I am supposed to have his quilt finished already. It is getting there.
Here it is so far....

Here is CHASE and the 4 corner blocks

CHASE from PAW PATROL

This is what Xavier is in to now so let's make him happy...
I am designing up the dog, CHASE, in the centre and the smaller blocks in each of the corners.
The applique is now done. I am working on piecing the top today and will quilt it tomorrow.
I will put up finished photos soon.

I have also been working on this crochet babies shawl. It is growing.

Tomorrow will be a slow Sunday and hopefully I will get the few rounds done that I need to get me up to the lacy edge.

This is where I pulled it out of the cupboard

The start of it

I sent a parcel to Arlette in Costa Rica back in early October.
Yep $21 to post. It took ages to arrive.... Well guess what.
It NEVER arrived at Arlettes.

It came back to me this week. 

The address is correct. It's post marked September from there. Then it decided to come home to me.

Arlette is following up why.

MINECRAFT TAKES OVER

My Grandson, Nicholas, is having his 7th birthday soon. He just loves MINECRAFT so I decided to start making a quilt for him. This is a really quick quilt to make....

Quilt as you go workshop and more CRAZY PATCHWORK...

I did my first days workshop at Heathcote last week. The first lesson was to show us how to construct the block. It will make a reversible quilt. I decided to only use my scrap greens on both sides. I'm sure it will still look ok.

We have some homework to do before next months meeting.

Here is what I am up to so far.

I am happy with how they are looking. They still have to be trimmed to 8.5".  I think I might make it the size for an AUSSIE HERO quilt. Then it will be waiting for a home to go to...

Then I went on with my next step in the Crazy Patchwork course. Task # 9 was to create the lovely woven roses. Task # 10 was to add French knots with leaves and gathered roses.
I have added some seed beads as a filler and to add some sparkle.
I love them. I'm so happy....

It is starting to fill up...

JOIN US TOMORROW NIGHT FOR 

mmmmmm what will I be working on.....

I have been away for the weekend visiting my brother. We had a great time catching up. It has been a hard few weeks so a quiet night together was good. No sewing though... I was too tired.

BUT.

I got home Sunday and managed a little sewing time. Not much though..

So here is my link up for Slow stitching Sunday....
