One Monthly Goal - August's Report

 We have come to the end of August I set myself one goal here and in our Project Uninterrupted group. See my original post here. 


Combining the two meant I only had one set of goals to finish and hopefully making it an easier month on myself. Even at the last Friday of the month I was pushing it. Friday was going to be the day I still needed 3 more blocks to complete my goal. With a busy weekend teaching, the chances of finishing was going to be slim.  By Friday night I did get 2 more made, so I am up to five.


Sunday night saw me complete the sixth block just in the nick of time.


 I linked my finishing post with Elm Street Quilts post, so pop over and see how everyone did this month.

This is all my blocks so far for this quilt except for the one I just finished.


Until Next Time

Pushing on! I'm nearly there,

 We had our last Paradise in Bloom workshop on Sunday. We are at the stage where our quilts are coming together.

My parts laid out ready to start the assembly part. This is the exciting part of our Quiltworx Technique of the month series.
This is where I got to by the end of our workshop date. This put me about half way through piecing the top. It's a real tease to see the top completed.

Two halves ready to be joined together. Nothing is going to stop me.
You have to love it when your seams match up this nicely.
There we go. The top is together. Well the piecing is done, there is a little bit of applique let to do on another day. Not enough hours in my day to start the applique today. I am happy to be at this stage after the work I have had to do this weekend.
I will take a better picture once I do the applique.
Until Next Time
