WQC UFO day

We had another UFO day last Saturday and I worked

on my mystery quilt.

I really enjoy these days as you can spread out, don't have 

to make tea and coffee and meals for the family

and you get to talk to like minded people.

Here is the first block of my mystery quilt completed.

I can't wait until next month when the next block is revealed.

Chook Pincushion

I made this pin cushion from a free pattern on the internet. 

 I didn't have any red felt and saw an Anzac poppy on the table

so used that.  There wasn't a pattern for the wattle, beak

and comb.

Latest Projects

I have several projects on the go and this is what I have been

working on recently.

I have been keeping up to date with the blocks for the 

mystery quilt I am doing through Dream Girls

at Quilters Dream.

While in Palmerston North, I fell in love with this block of the month

from The Cloth Shop
"A Kittens Tale" designed by Lynette Anderson
 This is a great project as it has applique, piecing and stitchery.

Mum's Quilt

It was Mum's 75th birthday on the 28th May.

I had a quilt top I had made from a jellyroll I bought from

Grandmother's Garden and Mum had admired it.

So I decided I would finish it for her birthday.

Here it is completed.  "My Home Town"

Tote and Gloat

Annette and I went to Feilding to stay with Liz.

We went to Tote and Gloat which is held annually

by the Rose City Quilters.

I made my Nursery Rhyme block for the Raffle Challenge.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I talked Annette in to making a block too.

Here are all the blocks.

The blocks were then voted for and

Annette won with her block "Higgledy Piggedly"

Liz told me to bring some quilts down so I did.  I didn't realise

I would be part of the Show.

Here is Liz's and my Fairy "Halberg Challenge" hung together.

Liz set this Halberg Challenge.

This years Hoffman Challenge was on display and here 

a couple of them.

Hobby Sack

The first project of the year from Dream Girls was a 

Hobby Sack.

I finally made it at Easter and it is wonderful for

carrying projects and keeping everything tidy.

The other side.  I bought the kitset which had everything

needed to make this cute bag.

ATC

WQC March theme was selvedges.

This is the one I made.

And this is what I received.
