~Celebrating The Chookshed~


This is the pile of Fat 1/4's I made up from my stash for my Quilt Past Times
Pattern by Lynne Wilson designs for moda

I had the blocks made in a previous Workshop held by Lynne and thought I would put them together to celebrate Chooky's Third year of The Chookshed


Here they all are laid out


Unfortunately I wasn't feeling the best and took to my Sewing Room armed with tissues and cough drops


from there I graduated to coffee and chocolate


then Mr Armchair bought me in some bubbly and chips


I just have to sew down the centre line to join it all together
After looking at the photo (and it's not obvious in person)
I'm wondering about the 2nd bottom row on the left
the 2 triangles might be a bit light???
so now I'm thinking about it all.........

Thank you so much Chooky for hosting this fun weekend
I just love being part of it all and seeing what everyone else is up to!!!

HAPPY 3 YEARS
and may there be many more!!!

'Celebrating The Chookshed'

These are my completed blocks for the quilt 'Past Times' that I did in a Workshop a little while ago

A few other completed blocks all made from my Fat Quarter stash


They've been sitting in this basket waiting for just the right time and this weekend it is!!!
All to celebrate The Chookshed's 3rd Birthday
If you want to sign up go over here and say hi to our Hostess with the Mostest......Donna aka Chookyblue.......woohoo I'm still coughing but determined to turn these blocks into a Quilt Top this weekend

Bring It On......A Cheers to you all for a very productive weekend......Dzintra xo

~Celebrating The Chookshed~


Over the weekend my Blogging Buddy Chooky celebrated 2 years in her 'Chookshed'
She invited Bloggers to join in on the celebrations by virtually sewing solo or with friends
I jumped at the chance and thought I would work on my Diamonds at Large quilt
Details of this quilt are over here


A Layer Cake was used for this
The border is also cut up Layer Cake


as is the binding 
A lovely quilt to put together!


I also managed to finish off this little Sewing Wallet

This celebration also offered bubbly (make mine pink) and nibbles
How could I refuse????

Happy Birthday dear Chookyblue and here's to many more celebrations of The Chookshed!!!

Chooky has a poll on her blog if anyone would to check it out
It's about whether she should hold this celebration again!!!
