Wish Quilt

Now that I have finished the emergency sewing for the sewing kits for the Queensland Flood Appeal, I am making good progress on my first UFO on my looooooooooong list.

I still have a little way to go to get the blocks together. I am putting this together completely different to the original layout as I don't have many large walls or spaces to hang largish quilts
so I have had to make this smaller. But there is trial an error in prepping the different blocks
to get them all to fit in together size wise. Definitely and improvisational way of quilting.

I think it is coming along quite nicely and I'm happy with the colour although probably not a real traditional christmas colour scheme but I have seen this used and I really like it.

There are a lot of you getting things completed which is great to see.

I hope these bring some comfort to whoever receives them.

Wish Quilt

More progress on my Wish Quilt. I pulled fabrics from the stash to prepare the blocks surrounding the stitcheries. Some are appliqued and some are pieced. That chequerboard strip has a lot of little seams to match up. Not my favourite thing to do and there are a lot of chequerboard strips in the quilt!!!!!!!!!

I will be having short interlude to my UFO list to help the Gum Tree Designers flood appeal for
sewing kits. I think this deserves a high priority at the moment.

Have fun, bye for now from Liz

No 1 UFO challenge

I have made a start on my looooooooooooooooong list of UFO challenges. Number one on the list, the final stitchery for 'The Wish Quilt'. This is a Bronwyn Hayes design. It was featured over a few issues of Homespun. I started this over 2 years ago. It is looking good so far.
I'm not sure how long it will take me to complete all of my UFOs but at least I have made a motivated effort to start and a place here to keep the spirits up and the motivation high.

Bye for now from Liz
