Not Sew Happy Houses

 I may have been MIA in August but I did manage to keep plodding along on a few different projects.

The first is my DD's Wedding Quilt which was Challenge #1 - Made it to the quilters. I've since picked it up and just tonight put the final stitch in the binding and label ready to gift to her tomorrow.

Grandson F has been having a little holiday and came to patchwork with me on Monday. I spent more time threading his needle than mine but for 4 yes old he was a little trooper.

Challenge #3 Happy Houses - Sadly I couldn't for the life of me find the blocks, the photo was from way back when. So instead I got sewing on the 2 piles of blocks that have been sitting around for a while in the craftavan. 

After what seems like miles of seams, I have the blocks joined on the backs into rows. It's a QAYG for my King Bed and will be 110" square.


Front design ...

All fabrics have been pulled from my stash so the back is scrappy ... I'm think I nearly like the back better ...

OK, so Challenge #7 - Scrappy Quilt
Since making my list I have completed the scrappy Quilt to a finished top ... however I've been making some scrappy flower pots and would like to Quilt and bind into a finished wall hanging.


Still crocheting while the weather is cool and found this cool pattern called Granny Ripple. I had wool left over from another BHG kit and only needed to purchase the pinky colour ... yay for more stash busting.


I've put the Ripple aside for now so I can finish the Granny Square Rug. Need to get a wriggle on before the weather turns ... we've already had a peak into summer.

Time to catch a few ZZZzzzz before another busy day with Grandson F. We've been busy gardening, baking and lots and lots of play.
