Fiona's SKofW quilt top.............

Well it didn't happen overnight but it finally happened. I've finished my Some Kind of Wonderful Quilt.

I started it December 2011 and finished the top December 2014.

Not sure when I'll get it quilted, we can't rush these things :)

Where I'm At

Well the deadline has arrived and this is as far as I manged to get.

I will get it finished in time but work and family always take priority

Thanks to Donna and everyone for your encouragement and blogging posts through the year but I will sign off so someone else can have their turn in the Stitch-A-Long Blog.

Happy Sewing everyone and I'm sure I'll catch up over on my blog and yours through next year xx

January Complete

I just looked at the "map" again and realised I've finished January Too

 This is coming along quicker then I thought

Can't wait to get back into the sewing room tomorrow

December Complete

I finally got my DECEMBER Block Finished :)

So hard to take photos of this quilt, Isn't It.  Let's hope I can get back into the sewing room tomorrow to get January Block finished too :)

A SKoW Cushion

With a long weekend in NSW Australia this weekend, 

I has given me lots of sewing time.

I've completed this cushion for my "Best Friend"

 Also found time to get a couple more block completed too

December in June

It's taken me a while and I don't know why?  

It's been such a great way to spend the start of my long weekend.

 I've also managed to keep up-to-date with my blocks

June blocks are now complete

First of my July block completed too.

Another two blocks completed

Another couple of blocks completed... Might get a chance to actually put some blocks together over the long weekend ???

Sorry, my iphone photography was a bit blurry :)

Best Friends

My Best Friends block is complete

Although this one is getting made up into a cushion for my dear friend.... I've started a new one for my quilt.

Another block and a special present

Another Block Done & Dusted

Now on to some special stitching

My dear friend that I work with is leaving and changing jobs

 She loved the fabrics I used in the cushion that I recently made for my Friends In Stitching Swap Partner, so instead of making the same cushion I thought I'd use this Best Friends block and turn it into a cushion for her.  Looks something like us "Dancing"  :)

Wish my garden was looking this good

I'm still here

Very busy with work and life in general but I'm still managing to get some SAL stitching time. Just wish it was as easy to get my garden looking so good.    I'm so far behind with my blogging too, I will catch up with everyone soon.

Some more Stitching

My little house is complete.... now on to my little garden :)

March Blocks are getting prepared

I'm still slowly working on my SAL blocks

Can you see my mistake ??? Forgot to swap my book around :) I'm an individual.

My house and garden are now prepared and ready to go

Might even get a chance to add some borders on the weekend ???

Keeping up with the Stitching

This is all I can manage at the moment but I'm loving all these blocks

Ice-Cream & Hot Chocolate are completed

Now onto the book....

The best Chocolates in our house...

I finished my chocolates today, not eating them, just stitching them. I've got the rest of my February blocks prepared... just need to get time to stitch now.

My December Blocks

I've had a very productive day getting my SAL up-to-date.

I fixed my jeans error.

I enjoyed cups of tea while stitching my Cup of Tea

My Suitcase is a reflection of my Christmas holidays

I even got my first January Block completed too

Enjoy your next working week ladies and I'll keep in touch. Fiona :)

December Blocks Finished

I've been on holidays and have enjoyed stitching the first few blocks of the SAL-SKOW.

Does anyone else thing these look more like Ice-Creams?
I love these jeans

I've run out of some supplies, so off to find a shop open today and finish the other blocks

Hugs Fiona @Dragonfly-Crafts

SAL SKOW 2012 - Started

I've started to assemble my December/January blocks so I can stitch them over the Christmas Break.... I will be using blanket stitch on my blocks. Can't wait to get them started.

Wishing Everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Hugs Fiona@Dragonfly-Crafts xx

I will join in soon I promise

I've just had the joy of browsing the blog and admiring everyone's work or either Gardener's Journal or Tis The Season and of course now Some Kind of Wonderful.

I'm still busy with work and now the Christmas rush so I'm saving all my stitching for after Christmas while I'm relaxing on Holidays :)

I've been admiring everyone's needleturn but noticed a few are still appliqueing with blanket stitch so that is what I'm going to go with too....

I love blanket stitch appliqueing and as I have time restraints through the year, i think this would be easier for me than learning a new technic.

Keep up the good work everyone and I look forward to catching up on my sewing soon.

I'm finished, I'm finished

did you hear me??? Yeah I've finished my SAL TTS

I spent most of saturday here getting the quilting done

I kept the thin borders and added a large bind
Loving the dark green

Now I'll go and look what everyone else has been up to.

Another Quilt Top finished for the Group

Donna can you please mark me off as completing my quilt top.

With work committments slowing down now, I've had the pleasure of getting back to my sewing machine.

The borders have been attached with a little green peeper to break it up. I've got a lot of left over fabrics so I think I will make a scrappy border once I get back to the quilting. I've also got some more blocks stitched that I want to turn into a little Xmas hanging.
