the saga continues......

Terrible photos of this quilt..... The colours are so wrong but besides that in my clean up while on leave I dug this quilt out...... Pops it on the board....... It's looking very scrappy i know when it got out away something was going wrong when I was joining the rows so I needed to unpick some blocks but but but I can't remember what was wrong so I will need to put the pattern out and see that the blocks were right to start with.........
But........ 
There was a corner missing.......I searched high and low.... Pulled all the fabric together that I knew were part of this quilt........I could not find the corner.......I had even taken the scraps near these fabrics inside to sort thru and iron in the hope I found the missing pieces......But nothing......
Fast forward a month and a memory came up in my photos.......
hhhmmmmmm 2013 or 2009 I can't remember.....
I was so excited to see this...... The colours are a little better....... Maybe not as creamy in the background.......
Look at the photo.......
Yep a corner is missing...... Yes just flip the photo but mystery solved.......
The corner was missing way back when.......
So I have stopped looking.......
I will need to make sure I can find enough of the background but I can find other fabrics to make two corners.......
Separately
I had also lost some work clothes...... 
Turns out I put them away in a new spot.......
Not coping with being organised..... Lol
I did get a binding finished last night so Rose Marie will be happy I met the challenge.......That's great...... I'll try finish the last two today to meet the goal for July........ As I can hand stitch while I'm chatting to the old folks.........
I've done something I haven't done for ages...... connected the TV up so I can watch some of the Commonwealth Games...... Anyone else watching?????
Trying to get some more churn dash blocks finished..... While I'm making progress I may not make July by my time....... Might by the time the last  USA time zone comes around......
Rain is forecast this week so that will be nice but I need to get lots of other stuff done before I head away for the night........
Have a great Sunday......

weekend wrap......

Saturday I spent in a first aid course....... I've been doing them for years...... It's good to stay current..... Have you done a first aid course? It's so important to know how to provide some help as opposed to standing there feeling helpless........ 
Sunday a pretty big frost started the day off.........So pleased I was in the house as it was toooo cold for the Chookshed for an early start.............
Chookshed Stitchers achieved lots of sewing once again......you need to keep sewing as you keep wanting to make more and more.....when you get show and tell and ideas thrown around it can be dangerous........Anorina just said maybe Chookshed Chatters would suit better...........well we did chat HEAPS and were quite loud at times.........LOL........anyway I was then thinking why I had no comments..........checked the blog and I had not actually hit publish on this post............woops that would be why........
"Anna's Flowers"
the exciting news of zooming sewing this week was that Gail is also coming out to Scrub Stitching also.............I just do not know how I am going to contain myself with excitement.......all my regular buddies and and in international twist of 4 now.......
In between zoom sessions Mr Chooky and I had to go cut some wood...........
I watch while he cuts and I pic up majority of the wood............
Lots of girls popped into both sessions got lots of sewing done...........a couple just chatted but sometimes that is what you need also.....
I would have finished the binding on Anna's Flowers bar for a crappy corner I need to work on in the Chookshed with a machine to re sew what I need to unpick.............
This afternoon I brought another quilt in to bind........I had hope to squish in a tiny bit of sewing on the machine in the Chookshed but I was busy with a course and other things.......I did fix the seam on my work shirt.........so I know my machine still works......lol
Have a great week........
Catch you later........
