I think I have spent a lot of time this month pondering which snippets of life to blog about... and in the end blogged about nothing. So a bit of a round up post of all that's happened so far... and lots of photos so a cuppa might be needed to get to the end of this 😆
If you remember last time, Nadia had broken her collarbone... she is almost fully back to her normal self and has an appointment on Tuesday which will hopefully confirm she can resume normal activities.
My main goal for this month was to get my Granny Squares quilt fully stitched... a rainy day has meant that it's too wet to take full length photos while I have quilt holderuppers home.
My second big challenge was to finish the FMQ on Theres a Square In There. This has been incredibly time consuming and although there are a few spots where the bobbin thread has peeked through on the front... I just don't care!
Yay... and the binding...
I'm now stitching this to the back by hand little bit by little bit. The backing is the wonderful koi print.
As soon as it was out from under the sewing machine I had my Avalon quilt zooming through for a much quicker linear design.
I am now working on the 2nd quarter.
My other monthly goals have fallen to the wayside. I did manage to choose fabrics for the next Line Dried section.
I discovered some more plus blocks so unpicked the side sashing, added another row... replaced the sashing and decided this rainbow stripe just finished things off perfectly. It has since had the top border added 😆
Some new fabrics...
Some new patterns...
A basic shift for woven fabrics...
A basic top for wovens...
A basic dress for knits...
Look at all these variations!
I finally have the background for the Libs Elliott Orbiter Quilt!
A few more Crossroads blocks to add to the collection.
I love the blues in this print that's in my Avalon quilt. When I saw this organic solid I thought it was as close a match as i would find. Although you'll need to watch this space to see what happens to it.
Some other solid fat quarters made their way home with me...
And a couple of cute prints... because you know... bunnies!

So many quilts and so much fabric Suz! I really like the colour of the solids. It’s interesting to see MCCalls naming their patterns now! They’ve caught up with this trend, I suspect to make tags easier to find!
Yes, lots happening at yours! Love how the 'crossroads' blocks are looking! And those colours from ?the scribbly gum co. are great, a bundle waiting to be made into a quilt!
Somehow I missed this post! Congrats on a quilt finish...you are close to another one. Love the new clothing patterns...my goal is to try again to make a couple of tops. I have several patterns and pieces of batik rayon screaming at me!
