OMG found the blocks.........

Thanks heaps to Gails help I found the blocks from Chapel Street that I was missing. Folded up in a churn dash block with the double Churn Dash blocks..............Who would have thought?????

The car is all packed with SS gear, 4 sewing machines, some sewing and show and tell........No where for luggage so plan to drop a load tomorrow and do some sight seeing..........

there may have been a traffic end to one of these bottles last night......... And it wasn't a hang over......

Susan you will be pleased to know I only have 3 quilts to work on and one EPP project..........

Think that is well behaved........maybe.........

Catch you later........

PS I hope The Fairy runs out of sewing.......

and the fun begins......

   Finally the fun has begun..... After picking Gail and Sylvia up at the train station we headed to Janice's house for a quick lunch with Lou (who she had picked up the night prior) then it was the long drive home to the farm......... 

We were a bit late so we managed to pick up takeaway in the last town on the way home and arrived after dark........

2 sleeps until Scrub Stitchin'

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

Chookyblue........

Finally found my measuring tape in a random bag of scrap fabric in Fairy Girls bedroom.........hmmmm

Catch you later.......

Chookyblue......

PS it's only been missing for about 6 months.....

PSS now to see if I can find my two Chapel Street blocks......

PSSS only 5 sleeps until Scrub Stitchin' but 2 sleeps until I pick up Gail and Sylvia and drag then out into the 'bush'.......

Group project..........

    So the optional group project at Scrub Stitchin' this year is the Moda Love quilt this year...........

I have three of these quilts..........two I made and one I helped Fairy Girl make........

The pattern is great and goes together pretty quickly...........

You can use a layer cake (10" squares), Charm pack (5' squares) or a mini charm pack (2.5" squares)

you can find the pattern here Moda Love

I will be making the mini charm quilt which will finish at 12"

What do you think...........do you want to play????

For those not at Scrub Stitchin' you could sew along at home.......

stinking hot day here again today.........

currently hiding in the Chookshed chatting on zoom again.......

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

Chookyblue.....

 Well the days are counting down for Scrub Stitchin' and our first international visitor is on her first leg.............the little red plane is Gail taking off from the USA.............

I am so excited and there is only 28 sleeps until Scrub Stitchin'

The silence is due to town work..........its been crazy busy......and i've worked most weekends and longer shifts.......but this gorgeous sunrise was the reward for the early start one day.........

With the days closing in for autumn it's dark when I have been heading home mostly...........

BUT

It sure as hell does not feel like autumn and summer is flexing her muscles this weekend with a little heat wave 🔥

the next few days are 38-39 maybe 40..........

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

Chookyblue.......

Still love reading blogs, writing blogs and sometimes the bonus of  meeting bloggers.........

zoom $$$$ results.........

Sorry to the girls who were on zoom at the time and I think Sue tried to join later.......my sudden rush off to work....lets just say it was a big week and leave it at that.........onto the good stuff..........

I was working on cutting some more blocks for Chapel Street.......

Slowly they are adding up...........still have not located the first couple of blocks I made in Qld last year.......they will turn up.........

Zoom had a constant group popping in and out all day............I think we had about 18 people join in and a few more donated that could not join..............

For those over seas I just converted to AUD to get an amount 

the great news is we raise $406.38 

for Breast Cancer Network Australia and some international breast cancer charities............

that is a wonderful effort........thankyou to those who donated........

It was a pretty sunrise............

Jude's fundraising is mostly done...........

All up with Jude's 21st birthday celebrations she had raised about $3200 and add our collection for the cause that's about $3600.......amazing effort............

the good thing is Jude is a still donating a % of sales of the goods on her blog link here, here and here...........you might be able to find some lovely fabrics to join your stash...........she also has numerous kits cuts too...........you can grab something this weekend.....sale ends 28th Feb

once I had the blues cut I started cutting into these brights.......

didn't get a photo of where I got up to..............

Anyway have a great weekend.........

Got some domestic goddess things to do here.........tame the yard........then need to organise and move heaps of things in the Chookshed for some more work to happen out there.........
