My Stitching Snapshot #4

Here is my weekly round up of sewing in one place. You are welcome to join me stitching a little bit everyday. We will make good progress, well I hope we will.

Sunday's stitching involved finishing these flying geese units for my Lakeshore Sunrise.

Monday saw me do a few more half snowball blocks.

Tuesday was Australia Day, so I had a little extra time to cut fabric and sew two rows on a shop sample. Nice to sew something different.

Wednesday's sewing was a little bit of EPP bringing me closer to finishing this block off.

Thursday was a busy day, so I only managed a little sewing time to start these blocks, another shop sample in the making. I am hoping to have the two new shop samples ready for the Great International Craft Show starting on Thurday 4th February.

Friday's sewing saw me get my other 2 quarters made up and sewn together, leaving me one seam to do on Saturday.

Of course Saturday's stitching had to be be this one last seam. I also did some secret sewing too which I will share on Thursday on my Facebook page as part of the Great International Craft Show.

Until next time

My Stitching Snapshot #3

This week hasn't been the ideal sewing week. I put my back out on Monday at my day job, which has made thing harder to do. Though on Sunday I finished these sections for my Glacier Star quilt. Glacier Star is our Quiltworx  Technique of the month program starting February.

                                     

Diamonds for my Lakeshore Sunrise quilt nearly finish on Tuesday, if I had stuffed a couple up they would have been completed. I have to unpick a couple as my pinning wasn't good enough.

Wednesday was a rest day due to a bad back.

Thursday's stitching was a bit of evening hand sewing toward completing my January goal of completing this Abbie block.

Friday was a big day, I fixed my diamonds I upicked and with sewing time in the afternoon and a session of Zoom Project Uninterrupted with the girls in the evening, I nearly completed my pie wedges for my Lakeshore Sunrise.

So you know what Saturday picture is going to be?  

Yes two quarters now completed. I am loving, how this one is turning out. Even as I cut the fabric I had a few doubts and in the end fabric was cut so I went with it. I didn't want to waste the fabric. Glad I held my nerve to sew it, to prove to myself I was right from the start.

Until Next Time

Our Lakeshore Sunrise Retreat

 

We got to spend a few days up at Burra at Sew Delightful Quilting Retreat Cottages. Our project was Quiltworx Lakeshore Sunrise.

My quarter hanging on the design wall in the sewing cottage.

 There was eight of us, six  ladies doing the workshop and two of us to take care of them. It was a very enjoyable retreat set in the perfect setting with good company, great food, lots of laughter and of course sewing. The ladies did a great job on their quilts and I look forward to seeing them completed. It's amazing how different they look.

We didn't want to go home at the end, just a little longer would have been good.  We did remember to take a group picture and there was talk of doing another one in the near future.

Until Next Time
