I finally can post some progress on last years SAL , Some Kind of Wonderful.
I had full intention of keeping up even though I got excepted a little later than others and it shouldn't of made a difference. And then my daughters who was having twins developed complications and I ended up away from home a good deal this past year.
But Yeppie I have something to show.
The boys are doing great and I'm back in the swing of things. Have 3 rows to go and I hope to show more soon.
Here you are my august first block! Only two other block and my top will be there! Loved this block and fabrics... sad about this project is ending... what will we do, afther, Chooky? Susan.. tell us! Do you know something?
I finished the holidays suitcase. I heart acid green with caramel brown! I want them to be the dominant colours of the quilt. I play to make my family choose thir preferite block... so interesting to know! And at the moment, what is your preferite?
I made the block of the blue jeans! Everyone hearted it. I didn't have enough blue, because I'm working with charm pack ant the blue jeans is very long, so I opted for a prints from 70s in acid green with flowers... do you like it?
I have progressed with my SKOW quilt. Today is the last day and I have done the jeans.
I am part way to finishing the piecing between the blocks.
And here is the suitcase. I left the places as they were as I have been to all of them fairly recently.
I hope to do a bit more work this afternoon and start cutting the border pieces. I hope everyone has a fun New Year even if it is just at home stitching.
