Blocks Of The Months

 The first block of the month arrived on Friday.
This one is from Somerset Patchwork.
It is called Robins Nest.
I have decided i will hand stitch it all as there are very small pieces.
Here are three of the red stars , only three more red ones to do  then on to the 12 blue ones.
I think this is going to take a few years to do. These star blocks are 3", so they are quite small.


 Next block of the month is from Kids Quilts.
It is called Once Upon A Time

 This is block one.












The fabrics are beautiful.

Well i have plenty of stitching to do to get my though this winter.
Will keep you updated as i go along with these blocks of the months.
Happy Stitching

Why Do I DO This

 Why do i have to start another project.
I keep telling myself to finish one project then start another,but for some reason i don't listen.
I have quite a few projects on the go but most are hand stitching so i decided to get the Love Birds Quilt out of my container and start it because it can all be done on the machine.
I guess a change in projects is good.{well thats what i tell myself}.

Bluebirds and Berries

I have finished sewing all the blocks together, now to finish the stitching  , only four more to do .
The weather has turned a bit nasty here with rain and thunderstorms, so i don't mind staying indoors.
Maybe i can get some hand stitching done before i have to head off to work.

Look What The Postie Brought

Yesterday the postie dropped of the new Country Threads Stitchery magazine and look what i found in it.
This quilt is called Ollie's Quilt. I made it using a jelly roll and a basic cream background.
This quilt is named after my grandma who's name is called Olive.
So keep a lookout for this magazine which is out this month.
Happy Stitching
