On A Roll

Two finishes in two days!!! On Thursday I finished the top for my secret project. Yesterday I finished this top

Once it is quilted this one is on the way to DH's cousin who recently had a baby. I hope she likes it.

Still Working Away

I have been busy they last few days putting the sashings on my secret project. I ran out of one of the fabrics and had the darnedest time trying to find some more in town. Luckily I got on to some interstate, now I just have to wait for it to arrive. In the mean time I have been working on my 

item. It is getting close to finished too so I might just have time to make something else for it too.

Finally finished the blocks!

I got the cotton I needed to finish the last block today so I got stuck in and finished the blanket stitching on the block. Now I just need to finish the sashing and the appliqué on the sashing. The end really is in sight.

Five blocks now have sashing

I can really feel the finish getting close now. I do still have appliqué to do on some of the sashings which I still need to add to the remaining blocks. I can't wait to see it finished!

Anyone know where I can get some gold Treasure Braid?

I nearly finished the butterfly today but I ran out of the treasure braid I had bought many years ago before I finished. I am not even sure that they even make it anymore. What should I do now?

Borders started

I ran out of the cottons I needed to complete the appliqué on the last block tonight so now I am starting on the borders!

Last block underway

I have finally started the last block for my secret project. I had to put the sashing on this block before I could do the appliqué. So here is a sneak peek before I have added the appliqué pieces. I will still have some more appliqué to add to some of the other sashings when I add them to the blocks I have already made, but the end feels near now!

W.I.P Wednesday again

Just finished the latest blocks for the "Hello Moon" Quilt a-long. I love how easy these blocks are to make.

Still working on my secret project too but it is getting harder to take photos without giving it away. I am also working on a little something for "It's for the Birds" blog hop.

Still working on the block I started yesterday

so no photos today. :(

Another block started

I'm a little closer to getting my secret project finished, today (1 April{yes I posted very late!})I started another block. That means once I am finished that one there is only one left before I put on the sashings and put it all together. I can't wait I have loved making it and each block becomes a new favourite. I got a bit more done on the other block I had to finish today too as a wonderful friend had the colour cotton I needed in her collection so she gave me what she had so I could finish it off. Unfortunately there wasn't quite enough to finish the block but at least it will be finished more quickly tomorrow when I get in to buy some more of the cottons I need :0)

Like I said it is getting hard to take pictures now without giving it away!

Another block closer

Still working on the secret project and just about finished another block!! (I will finish it before I go to bed) Two more blocks to go before I can start putting it together. Getting excited about seeing it finished!!

Hope you all had avery Happy Easter.

Why does it always happen on a long weekend?

I would have had another block finished for my secret project, except I ran out of the cotton I was using :(  Now I will have to wait until Tuesday to finish it. Oh well on the bright side it has given me more time to work on my project for the blog hop tonight. Tomorrow I will start on another block for my secret project. Just three more blocks and I can put the top together. It is getting harder to take photos of my secret project without giving it away. Has anyone worked it out yet?

Another block finished!

Whoo Hoo I am finally finished the block I was working on and it did not take as long as I thought it would. It is looking good for me to get it finished for my set date I want it finished by! I love it when things work out!

I might even get started on my project for "It's for the Birds" blog hop! Yahoo it's been a productive day!

More progress

Still working on my secret project, but I am continuing to make progress with it. Hopefully this block will be finished in the next few days.

W.I.P. Wednesday

This week I have been working on "Hello Moon" and my secret project which is getting close to finished.

Looking hopeful

I am hoping that the block I am working on for my secret project will be more quickly finished than I thought. I am really keen to get this quilt top finished.

Getting closer

Today I spent time finishing off one of my secret project blocks and then getting the next one ready. I am still not finished cutting it all out and assembling it but it will all be together tomorrow. Once I get this block finished it will be a cruise to the end. I am getting a bit anxious to put the sashing on the blocks and get it all together.

What did you do today?

Another block finished

I finished the block I was working on for my secret project today. Six more to go then I can start putting it together! I had a lovely morning at Marci's Quilting Service sewing and chatting. I got most of the block done while I was there and came home with a new project to work on too.

Just signed up for the Six Months of Softies 

I can't wait. I absolutely love the Funky Friends Factory patterns by Pauline McArthur they are just wonderful, and her after sales service is great too, so if she is involved I bet the other five designers will be wonderful too!

Getting there

More work on my secret project today. I'm nearly to the point where I can see the end of the project in sight, which will help keep me  motivated!

A new block started

Today is W.I.P. Wednesday so I had to get to work on another block for my secret project. I have to say I am very happy with this one and can't wait to get it finished! I am hoping that the recipient will really love it when it is finished!

I have also been inspired by some of the blogs I have been reading so I am going to dig out my UFO's tomorrow and add a list of them to work on during the rest of the year. Hopefully making this list will keep me working on them. (I might add a list of NEWfo's too, of all those things I want to do!)
