Nearing the finish line


Designer Mystery BOM

Block 12 arrived in my mailbox yesterday and I felt the urge to make it immediately.


Then sew together the last row.


Now it just needs some borders and it's all done.
Hoping I can find the time to get this done soon as I also got 
a new pattern and I am seriously itching to start it.
Not until this one is finished though :o)

Have a great day,
hugs Sharon

Swapping is fun

I love a good swap :o)
and I love it even more when I am organised :o)


I have two swap gifts ready to go.
One is for the swap at the Millrose Blogger Meet in just under 2 weeks.
Can't wait, I love this get together and the other is for Claire, Hi Claire :o)

I have one other swap to finish off which is Cheryll's Xmas in July Swap.
Super fun. I have stalked my secret partner and have started her gifts.  

I wonder what swap will lure me in next :o)

hugs, Sharon

Aqua it is.....

Argh, Collingwood was playing last night and it became a
Bit of a health hazard trying to sew hexagons because I just never
knew when the TV was going to be yelled at and there for
the needle being jabbed into my finger!

Row 1 did get to meet Row 2 before I stopped.

Then I moved to the other end of the house
And into my sewing space. I had noticed that my
Blue scrap box was a lot fuller than the others
And at a closer look I found that it had a lot of
Aqua within in so I decided to make an Aqua
Scrap box. Started it last night and I have just finished it.

4 of the boxes still need board added to them - one day :)

Now it's time to go and finish off my swap item
For our Millrose get together in a couple of weeks.
I am also adding the finishing touches for the next
Swap item in the Mrs. Martins Celebration swap so
No peaks there because Claire will pass by between writing
Reports and we don't want to ruin her surprise.

Declyn played his 50th game of Football this morning.
I am so proud of him. He also scored the first goal for his team.
Well done Declyn.
Enjoy your Sunday,
Hugs Sharon

FNSI on a Saturday

Somehow I missed FNSI this month so I had a
SASI (Saturday Afternoon Sew In) instead.

First up I need go back a couple of days and share Block 9 of my
Designer Mystery BOM


And here are the first 9 blocks


Then today I worked on Blocks 10 and 11



And this is how things look now :o)


Block 12 is in transit from the US.
This means that next month the new
Designer Mystery BOM starts


I cant wait to see and start this one. It will be in beautiful Avalon
fabrics by Fig Tree.


I also found a temporary home for my Marcelle Medalion Quilt :o)



The view from my Kitchen to my Dinning area.
(My sewing space is in that back room to the right.
Nice and close to the heart of the home)

I'm off now to join my Northern Hemisphere friends for their
FNSI and go sew some 1" Hexagons



Have a great evening.
Hugs, Sharon
