Weekend at Kates..........

Such a fun time with Kate @ Show and Tell a few weeks ago.............very busy since but catching up with posts..............

very kindly an offline friend Cheryl gave me some fabrics.........I thought  it would be great to use one of the jelly rolls she gave me for a good cause....spread the love......we choose Chelsea Boutique.......

Kate was forced came on board for this second quilt for the Dungog floods........

She did all the sewing as I could not get the right seam allowance on her machine and I cut and ironed............as Kate says it was pretty much a sweat shop while we made the quilt..........each pushing each other along.........

Kate really wanted to keep the quilt.......we both love the colours............

4.30 the blocks were all laid out and ready to start joining.......auditioning some boarders...........

by 10.30pm we were done..........that includes socialising with Bloom and a dinner break...........

the dark brown narrow border framed it well.........

 

The quilt has now made it's way to Jan @ Red Shed Quilting who very kindly offered to quilt it at no cost.............

We had a little break out shopping and found this great backing fabric.......would be perfect on my blue lanterns quilt...........I agree but left it there........Kate holding it while I snapped a pic to remember the fabric.............

Enjoyed the beautiful autumn colours while in the cooler climate too.............

And her camellia plant was loaded with flowers..............

thank  Kate for having Fairy Girl and me for a sleep over..........

we had a great time in the "studio shed".........

Catch you later.......

Chookyblue.........

Catching up....

Bit of a revolving door here with visitors...........but I do love having visitors.........

Boy Wonder has friend/s coming this weekend......

Miss Sonia (and Mr Forever Always Online) has been here earlier in the week........

finally she got here........the last time she tried the car had a major break down..........

so it was very exciting to finally have her here with no car issues......

Look at this gorgeous cowl she made for me......gorgeous colour......sooooo soft......I love it....

Thanks so much Sonia........

Jewells put out a call for quilts for the flooded Dungog..........

I pulled this one out........Disapparing Nine Patch.........

Wild Rose charm pack and jelly roll...........Autumn journey border.......

looks a bit dark in this pic but it has navy borders..........
quit size 57in x 77in

bit sad I only got to hanging it up and enjoy the top finished for an hour......

It has never had a destination really...........just something I was playing with............

I started it here, more progress here......and a bit more here.........

This one will be great for a male........Jewells needs quilts for adults so I thought this would be perfect..........Fiona @ Bubz Rugz has kindly offered to quilt it and it will be a joint donation from Fiona and myself...........

I had to get the borders onto it and I had some binding and found a backing too.........

Fiona will supply the batting and quilt and bind it.........

Do you have a quilt for Jewells?

she sure could do with some more quilts.......

NJ SAL blocks got put on the back burner.........the flood quilt was more important, then add in work and meetings...........but I did get lots of prep done and my blocks are waiting to the turned under and stitched down..........

Looking for something yesterday I got all these needles together................they were stashed here and there.............OMG don't think I need to buy a needle for some time to come...........not that I really know what i use  all of them for...........
