Chookshed Party...........part 2...........

the autumn colour is gorgeous on my Chinese Tallowwood..........
the days were glorious and the nights pretty chilly............

thank you girls for joining me to celebrate the Chooksheds 5th birthday......... I think 7 would have to be the max number in the chookshed..........

Diddles picked up her new turtle family from Sonia..........

I always say quilting is an addiction...........and it sure is when your opening dodgy little foil packages.............

but look what appeared...........

Sonia worked on hand stitching all her flowers down.........

progress on my quilt...........

stacks in progress..........

Progress of one of Lea's hand piecing projects............

Diddles working on Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs.........Kate also worked on the same BOM............

Lea had show and tell.........it's gorgeous.......

Girls busy stitching.........

don't bump that tray on the chair or the whales will be a disaster...........

I am making my quilt from this book............

I saw Debs quilt at GDITC show and tell.......I knew  I wanted to make one.......

the book arrived last Friday...........

slowly getting there..........I think it needs another block of yellow...........

And I still have a few to move around by the looks of this pic..........

in the end I just shoved the unfinished block up to get an idea of how it  was going.............

Sadly all to quickly everyone was gone and the weekend was over..............
thanks to everyone who joined in virtually....
blogland is the best and i'll be hanging out here for many years to come yet
I've been getting around the blog commenting and i hope I have not missed anyone............
thankyou for helping celebrate......its nice to know we are sewing together in our own little spots on the planet..........linked with needle and thread..........

Chookshed Party part 1.............

Friday night started with a double birthday celebration...........

one for Lea and one for the Chookshed.......

lots of group selfies, food, wine, bubbles and G & T..............

I had a great idea Some idiot had a great idea that we could all make a tincy wincy log cabin pincushion............

mine ended up a disaster but I will be making another one soon............

early sunrise morning walks............

4kms on Sat...........5kms on Sunday.........

Diddles little creatures quilt just needed sashing and borders and it was done..........looks great............and the projects on the left grew to the ones below..........

Lea worked on the whales and Alison a Tilda quilt.............She actually brought it along last year but the yardage was not right and she needed to get some extra bits...........

This is Miss Jules quilt from retreat last year..........

I hadn't seen it all together........

Miss Jules had nothing to show for the weekend as she was busy cutting and working out a new quilt..........

Kate who cursed and cursed...........actually I think everyone cursed the little log cabins but she is in love now..........

Cool shadows............

So cute..........back again for part 2...........

Catch you later.......

Chooksheds Virtual Birthday linkup........

Hi everyone........... i'll forward date this one so it stays at the top of the blog over the weekend.........

The pre-party has started............Miss Jenny @ Bird on the Border arrived yesterday........not much sewing yet just getting organised.........to much time in town shopping and lunching............
rained last night and some forecast today.........could be interesting when the girls arrived late tonight...........Mr Chooky might be doing a town run to pick them up.............but that also means perfect cold wet weather for sewing........

hope you join the virtual sewing party for the Chookshed's 4th Birthday. Link here and share a post on your blog so everyone can see what sewing you do for the party...........remember while you might just be waking up we could be going to bed but someone else will still be sewing with you somewhere else in the world too........

leave your name and country in the linky so others know what country your from too..........

ie Chookyblue @ Chookyblue in Australia

HAVE FUN..........
