Chooky's shed party

 I was off to a great start sewing along with all the virtual stitchers.....

yesterday I made these hexies for Miss Matty's Parlour, doesn't look like much when I see them now but they are fiddly little devils....  


Worked on a secret swap pressie.....



Today has been a better ....
I was going to work on a quilt that is waiting on my design wall but other things had to come first.

First I had a very brisk 3 km  walk.....
when I got home "Pippa" was waiting for her morning games....

She loves chasing her ball ....



Followed with a lovely cuppa and biscuits of course.....

another hexie on the way, I found a lovely sunny spot to spend a few quiet moments.


I finished the last 3 blocks of "Love Among the Roses"
only the sashings and borders to do, then to have it quilted.







I did finish the swap pressie but that will have to wait for another time.

Block 32 Splendid Sampler


Well that is it for my weekends work....
holy cow I'm sure I did more than that..... seemed like more ....
I did do some washing.... I guess that took some time.


Thanks so much for the link up Chooky......
hopefully everyone achieved more than I did....

Toodles till next time.....

Hello Helen
those hexies are fantastic, I know how much work goes into them. What I also noticed was your wooden little box you had your cottons on, where did you get it, its just darling.

I think its a lot more than you give yourself credit for...Love among the roses will be so lovely when it is done...a lot of work on that and those hexies take a lot of planning and cutting...great progress.

lots of bits and pieces done.....you did well and a good walk is very important.......we were w bit restricted with the rain but did manage quite a few laps around the outer house yard which was not to bad......but the creek and watercourses run all around the house...........

Your hexies look great, looks like a good sized pile to me! Your heart blocks and your SS blocks all are lovely too - sounds like a full weekend with the walk and Pippa to entertain as well!
