Christmas finishes and Friday night Sewing

Made these 3 Santa Sacks for my Niece's and nephew.  The Pattern is From Flutterby Designs.

This is the front and back of the stocking for one niece (her brother got one last year).

Bound this flannel quilt ready for a first birthday next year.

Friday night I finished sewing these little bag together.  A Gail Pan design Decorate for Christmas.

All in all I have been productive over the last couple of weeks.

Finishes, Stitched in Time and Friday night sewing in

I am loving getting a lot of Ufo's finished, most of the seem to be Christmas.

 Fig 'n' Berry Christmas

Fig 'n' Berry  twas the night before Christmas

 These were our goodie bags that were on our table at Stitched in Time run by Gail Pan and Ramona Hermann on the 12th November.

 Inside was all these fantastic Kits.

First one I finished I made into a  cushion (Angus has already claimed it)

Next was Holly Christmas Sack

These were Gails kits already sewn and ready to make up.  Christmas banners.

I am thinking of making these into little bags.  Pattern is Decorate for Christmas.

It was another fantastic day meeting new friends and catching up with old ones.

I am on a mission to get most of my Ufo's finished this year at this rate I will be left with 2 bigger projects, so next year I can start on my huge pile of kits to make.

Today is going to be 38 degrees so a good day to sew and be on fire watch.

What I have been up to

Seems so long since my last post but we managed to spend some time away in the sun.  I have been going to a few sit and sew days so I have managed to get some stitching done.

This a flannel quilt for my nieces first birthday next year, at the moment it is at the quilters (getting in early).

This was a ufo that has been sitting around for a while now.  Rosalie Quinlan It's a Redwork Christmas. (needs to be quilted)

2015 Fig n Berry bom Christmas quilt. (Another one needing to be quilted, the quilting pile is getting big)

Gail Pan's A birdhouse home.  I decided to frame this one and have it in my sewing area.

A Festive Star by One Day in  May.  Perfect size.

Andrews bag to hold his Ipod, I pad, and headophone, he is very happy.

Well of to find another Ufo.

Little finishes

Mum asked me for some more knitted socks for Christmas so I have made her 4 pairs.(hot pink, blue, red and purple)

I finished these bags a while ago but need to get the fasteners to close them.

Friday night I started this stitchery by Gail Pan designs a birdhouse home.  I am wanting to frame it but I cant find a nice white pattern frame so I think it will sit for a while.

Have a great week I'm off to do some hand sewing today.

I made a list and worked through it.  I managed to get most of it done:

Club badges sewn on shirt
Mums dressing gown taken up

Friday night I added the tags to the bags I had made earlier.  Now they are ready for the present box.

Back on track

Over the weekend I managed to get a few things finished.

First up is a Bom from 2013 from Fat quarter shop.  I have unpicked this quilt more than once but I think its ready to head to the quilters.

Next up was Gail Pan I stitch I quilt armchair caddy.

I made up Handy Bags by Flutterby designs I just have to make the tag to go on them.

Well im off to plan the things to finish this week.

Friday night with friends

I worked on this quilt on Friday night and over the weekend.  I have 2 more borders to go then its finished.

I have unpicked the whole quilt and resewed it as I started on a another machine and the blocks came out different size.  Much happier now.

This was Bom from 2013 will be happy when its finished and in the quilting pile.

Stitched In Time July 2016

Yesterday I got to attend another fantastic day run by Gail Pan and Ramona Hermann, these days are filled with lots of chatting, laughter, food and some sewing.

First up is what was in our good bags that greeted us on arrival.

As usual it's hard to pick which one to start.

I started on Gails armchair caddy and finished stitching last night.

Great to spend a day with these girls

Thank you Gail and Ramona for another wonderful day.

Friday night sew in

What did I get up to on Friday night..

I have now finished instalment five now onto six.

2013 Designer mystery Bom

Another UFO.  I started this one in 2013 it was a bom run by fat quarter shop.  My plan is now its out of the cupboard it will be finished.  Knocking one of at a time.

The plan is one block a day sounds easy right lets see how I go.

I am going on my first sewing retreat soon and I have organised a few hand sewing projects, so I need to get a few other things finished so they dont hit the ufo pile.

Busy busy busy

What have I been up to over the last few days.

I am on a mission for the rest of the year to get some of the Ufo's finished, I am feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of things I have on the go.

First one is a table mat that I started before Angus was born ( he's nearly 8).  It is a Leanne House Design called Summer Garden Quilt.  It fit's great on my table on the deck, so I'm looking forward to sitting out there in the summer hand sewing and enjoying some sunshine and fresh air.

 I have been promising Angus that he could make a quilt, so we got out some batiks and whipped this one up together.,  Angus did the rows and I joined them together, we are going to do a pieced backing to make it reversible.

Tonight's project will be hand sewing.

Ufo

I have decided that today was the day to get this one finished,  it has been sitting around for years.

The pattern is from  Leanne's house by Leanne Beasley called Summer Garden Quilt.         Well 4 x 4 is 12 right   wrong  back to the drawing board tonight need another 4 side stitchery's to get this finished just as well I kept all the material and threads together.
