End of June update............
Junes' been pretty hectic....Sheep work, shearing, visitors, trip north, starting a short course and sadly back to work.......loved my long service leave....Lucky I got in and got some sewing done right at the start as not much else has happened sewing wise.........
Over the long weekend I had brought the Churn Dash fabrics in and started cutting them on the end of the bench.....I got some cutting done.......they look a little washed out here they are richer in real life.......we had visitors and it was cold..........
EDIT: This pic above is pretty true to colour. Just not the first photo in this post.......
Since I got home I thought I better bring the background in and check it then I can start cutting............
woops.........I'm not sure.........do you think the fabrics at the bottom of the pic will stand out enough.......pinks, burgundies, greens, mustard & browns.........
will it work???? might need to make one......
Of course I already shared the double churn dash blocks earlier but since it is the end of the month putting it all together in one post........
While away I got a Lucy block finished.......took me two days in between baby distractions.....
I did work on a section of Miss Elizabeth after this but missing a pic.........
One of the pics from being away.........sunrise on the Barkly......This highway is one lane for maybe 80-90% or more of it..........and we had driven 250km before we passed a vehicle which you mostly have to get off the road to pass.........we had 4 more vehicles in the next 100km...........
I'm sorry I am way behind in blog reading but trying to catch up......no mobile service where we were so I have not read blogs since mid month........I will get there just busy with a few things......I have started with a couple..........slow and steady........
Catch you later..........

I love your double churn dash blocks. Hard to tell with the fabric choice when they are not true to colour, you will be the best judge. From the photo the background looks a bit pink..Hope you had fun with the little grandson...and the big son.
nice blocks and so happy you had some baby time! lovely sunrise photo...wow such barren landscape...
Your churn dashes look great.
Good luck on the catch up reading.
No baby pics???
Ditto what Lou said, no baby pics??
Don't stress about being behind reading blogs, all in good time. I am always behind, have a big session and catch up and 2 days later I am behind again.
Lovely fabrics and great photos.
A lovely way to have ended your long service with a visit to your visit your son and family.
Bet it was wonderful to have lots of cuddles with Clancy.
I really like your choice of fabrics for your Churns…
Am liking those new churn dash blocks! Glad you got to see the baby and family. Sad that you are back to work.
Your dash fabrics look really nice, but I'm more interested in baby time!
Take your time. The blogs will be there for you. Happy to see a post
Such a beautiful selections of fabrics! It sounds like you have been busier than busy. Sometimes there's just not enough time to do it all. Thanks for hosting the sew-along.
I just did a churn dash block last night with very low contrast, and when working with the vintage repro fabrics, I think having a few of those gives a more authentic feel.
Glad you had some quality baby time. Any pics to come of you and the wee bairn?
Hard to get back to “real life” after a nice break.
That is an amazing view of the road, and it sounds like an interesting journey.
Pretty churn dash blocks. Nice photo of the sunrise. Hugs,
You made really good use of your long service leave....lots accomplished. love your churn dash fabrics....and the double churn dashes are so effective...

lovely churn dash blocks using equally lovely fabrics.
looks like it has been a very productive long service leave working hard.
Baby time is always fun! I'm liking the churn dash fabrics, it's an interesting selection.
Love those big double churn dash blocks.
Love your Churn Dash and Lucy blocks, Lucy has a wonderful color combination.
Beautiful blocks and fabric pull. Amazing to drive so far and not see another car.
Nice to enjoy baby time with family....
Your blocks look great especially the double churn dash blocks....
Well done....
I can’t believe how quickly your long service leave passed. The best bit must have been the trip up north for baby cuddles. I agree with Janet. If only a couple of blocks are low contrast, it should be OK. You did well to get any EPP done while travelling.
I'm sure your colours will work
my gosh that road must be long and dreary!
Glad you got away and saw little bub!
Lovely fabrics. I do like your double churndashes and the Lucy block is great too. xx
They will stand out enough if there is contrast to the background fabric. It really depends on what it is next to.
I am loving your double churn dashes - still, and enjoying the SAL. I will be looking at my chickens to churn for July.
The churn dash blocks are lovely and I love your fabric selection.
Your double churn dash blocks are lovely, and very tempting! Your fabric choices are fabulous, the variety is wonderful.
Hope you're having a great weekend
*hugs*

Hello and thanks for the 2 days zoom, it was so much fun. Look beautiful fabrics you have chosen there. For me here in Germany somehow unimaginable, to drive so long on the highway and not to meet a car, the madness. So nice to see how you are constantly getting ahead with your projects. LG Greetings Marika and a happy new week
