I got there


Linking to  Chookshed challenge


My challenge for September was my sheep tapestry but I had already made the decision to gift it to the thrift store.

I still had 3 of my mother's quilt tops to finish quilting. 

They are all now finished although I didn't get a photo of the third quilt. 

I have now quilted 5 for her this year and there are no more of hers in the queue. 

The only challenge left undone are the applique quilts for the triplets.

I have finished two more scarves for charity. 



I finished quilting one of my mother's quilts and delivered it to her to finish stitching down the binding.

I have had a lot of finishes this week. 

Adding 2 extra scarf finishes 



Firstly a scarf for charity. 



I finished 13 pairs of fingerless mitts,  also for charity. 



I finished quilting and binding a table runner.  This was a practice piece for different quilting designs and thread colours.

Finally a finish

Linking to Chookshed challenge  

I have finally finished this project that has been a ufo for about 30 years.

There is one more little ornament that is already finished and attached to the wreath. 

That is at home and I will tie them all on the next time I am there.

End of May catch up

 I finished binding the little charity quilt which was the May task.



I haven't made any progress on the procrastination quilting,  maybe next week. 

I did resurrect a project I started more than 30 years ago!


I had finished the little rocking horse and attached it to the wreath. 
Last year I finished these 2 squares 


This week I have finished 5 more squares!!


I have 4 more left to stitch. 
It does beg the question of why it has taken so long to finish this. 

I aim to stitch these over the next few days and then make them into the ornaments. 
The wreath is at home so will attach them when I am next there, hopefully before Christmas.
