Woodand Stitchalong Week 4

 

This week's project for the Tilda Woodland Stitchalong 

was this lovely little fabric basket. I think I'll be making more of these!

Friday Night Sew-In

I sat down to stitch last night while we watched the new series 

of Outlander that was released this week. 

There were a lot of spots where I was sure 

I had seen them before. For some reason, we had started

watching the second last one from season 4! 

So we kept watching to bring us back up 

with the story as it had been a while since we had watched it. 

Will start season 5 tonight!

I managed to get the writing done along with a little bird. 

Not too bad considering Jamie Fraser 

kept appearing on the screen! LOL!

In case you don't know him, this is Jamie!

I was given this Tilda stitchery for a Tilda swap 

by Karen of Sunburnt Quilts. Eeek! I looked it up 

and that was back in July 2014! 

Definitely time to stitch this one, especially as 

I'm really getting into Tilda with the Tilda Lovers Club.

Thank you to Wendy for hosting us.

A special thank you to Kitty Rose Cottage 

who is now sponsoring FNSI.

Woodland Stitchalong Week 3

Week 3's project is a hoop pouch. 

I don't use a hoop and haven't decided what I'll do with it. 

It may end up in the gift cupboard. 

We had to add a magnetic clip which I hadn't done before. 

I've had some of these in my stash for years, not even sure 

where I got them. Now I know how to put one in!

 

Woodland Stitchalong Week 2

Our project for week 2 of the Tilda Woodland Stitchalong 

was this zippy pouch.

It may have taken me 3 attempts with the 

second side of the zip but I eventually got it right!

I found this cute butterfly charm in my stash.

Friday Night With Friends

 

I finished the final block of my Lillian Elizabeth's Kitchen quilt. 

This is an extra block to those of Jenny's Phyllis May's Kitchen pattern. 

I decided I would add a photo of Nanny (that's what I called her).

You may remember seeing this. It is the rough layout for my quilt. 

I'm pretty happy with this layout. Now I have to get my brain

 working to work out the final block sizes and and then calculate 

the strips of blue fabric to cut. Yesterday Mum gave me a doily 

that was Nanny's and I plan to cut the circles/flowers of the doily 

and add it to the quilt, along with some lace.

 

Thank you to Cheryll for host us last night. 

You can see what others got up to here.
