August Block Finish

 Another block wrapped up and 1 left to go for my Merry Christmas Garden....It's the heart block with candy canes.


I can now see me having a finished quilt top for THIS Christmas and another quilt to add to "Awaiting Quilting" stash.

Get Ready for Christmas 2020

Welcome to our little workshop.


Firstly, I'd like to give a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Cherryl and Jeanette who both managed a clean sweep, 1 XMAS item (or more) for each month of 2019.  Well done ladies, I'm sure your family and friends were very thrilled to receive you lovely makes.

It may seem out of place to be talking of Christmas 2020 so soon, especially in the face of devastating fires and drought here in Australia. But I find comfort in friendship and in my sewing room, and hope that others can find a moment of calm in times of hardship and sadness.

Information on how to join in can be found on the sidebar.  We would love to see you in our workshop this year, creating gifts or items for yourself, getting a head start on a stress free December with handmade goodies to share.

Don't forget to add a post to the blog anytime between 25th and the end of each month and share what you have created. It can be 1 or more completed items, or like me, you can work on 1 project and share your progress each month.  There may just be a little incentive each month for those who post.

My project for 2020 will be to work on 'A Merry Christmas Garden' by Gail Pan and hopefully have at least a completed top.  Started back in January 2014 (shocking!) I managed the first 2 blocks.

Block 2

Block 1

So come on in and leave a comment to let me know you'll be joining. If you're new you will receive an email inviting you to participate in the blog and your link will be added to the sidebar.  If you're commitments are already full this year then that's OK too ...
