When push comes to shove.....

When push comes to shove maybe I should say gentle encouragement...........no actually she was talking whip cracking to keep me on task so lets leave it is was..........

I was laying on the lounge in the Chookshed looking at the design wall with bits  of a quilt on it................I text Kris @ Tag Along Teddies about a parcel.............the long and the short of it is she got my A%$#$#SE moving and I got motivated to sew..............I kept sending her photos of my progress to remain accountable........

The fabrics are from Washington Depot by Denyse Schmidt and I got mine at The Next Stitch ..............I used the Moda Love pattern that I have made previously and I love it as a quick effective design...........I didn't quite have the right size blocks as I wasn't using a layer cake so I cut everything 1/2inch smaller.............I think it will measure about 68x68in now.
So here is Christmas Star as named by Kris............
this is my second quilt using grey and surprise surprise I am really happy with the quilt........

So after all that sewing I was very motivated and pulled out Framed (my first grey quilt)..........I started this one back in June? God knows why I never got back to it..............Fairy Girl packed it up from the design wall when we were cleaning up the chookshed..............loving how this is coming together too and I'm running out to the Chookshed to get a little done before I head to work.............

Not sure whats wrong......boxing day my machines even did something unheard of.......never knew it was possible.......I actually mended 3 items.......inbetween my 4 nanna naps..........

Catch you later.....

PS after a 1000 texts back and forwards thanks heaps Kris but how is the pattern writing going?????

60 degrees of fun finished........

The "60 degrees of fun" quilt started here..in 2013............playing with Googy Girl............

the fabrics are Denyse Schmidt and all from the Picnic and Fairground range

I actually finished it last month sitting in a motel.............hence the motel bed photos..............I didn't want to share until after Nundle to surprise Googy Girl...........

Quilted by the lovely Jewells about 18months ago I just lagged terribly with the binding........

And the binding was not too bad to attach and so pleased I kept it zigzag............

very effective edging..........

Shez helped me hold it up at GDITC............it's not a huge quilt but I love it...........

thanks for the fun and friendship Googy shared in this quilt ....

Catch you later..........

60 degrees of fun.........

wow so where do I start..............firstly last night when i went to bed we had 2mls of rain............this morning  23mls..........and a funny day today with sun one minute and a misty shower the next..........1ml of rain....a lovely day........

I was pretty miserable when I did my last post and with a serious change in the weather during the month and a few small showers - not enough to do much but with this on top will get something growing.........lets hope the next fall is very close............the weather change hadn't brought much rain but atleast the same weather patterns that had been coming thru with NO rain had changed.......and I am loving the cooler weather..........summer seemed to go on for ever...........

thanks for your emails/comments taking my break.......even the lurker in SE Qld who emailed me (hi)........thanks your caring is appreciated.....getting me back here......

I got a good injection of fun and friendship last weekend and again this weekend so i'm feeling pretty good...............more on last weekend next post...........

But last weekend the Googy Girl and I started this quilt......i've had a 60deg ruler for a little while and wanting to make something...........so last weekend I cut into some Denyse Schmidt Spotlight range

this I think should all be from "Picnic and Fairground"........

as we started to play we were busting to put blocks up onto the design wall.........

pinwheels......

hexagons.....

when Googy Girl left some rows were joined........

today I got the rest of it together.........

ta da........ "60 deg's of fun"

hope you like it Googy Girl and thanks for the fun..........
