WOW or WIP’s with Esther 10th May 2017 Sashiko quilting.

Update:- 4.30pm Wednesday 10th This avo I have pulled my 3rd SG block I made this up weeks ago just after it was released had it at this stage nothing but the vase and cat ironed down when accidentally some one moved it and my wee dog jumped on top of it!!!! all those pieces went every where there are still two stems missing one is the main one the flows down the front of the vase hopefully I can find enough fabric to make a new one????

I have spent the avo rebuilding my block 3 of TSG There are two stems and two leaves still issing some where in my workroom area????? Now I need to make the rim of the vase and iron down those pieces before it happens again LOL

10pm Wednesday. Spent the rest of the avo and early evening on my block and now its all ironed down so I can not loose any pieces again or have to start from scratch again!!!!!

Update Wednesday some where in the world but not here in OZ !!!!! Took the photo this morning in the daylight.

Colours are truer in the daylight I took this photo this morning its still Wednesday some where in the world!!!!!

Its been a slow week as far as productivity goes. I finished the 365quiltycircles quilt top so very pleased there.

Where I was last week These are all sewn together now and waiting to be sandwiched and then hand quilted.

All sewn together now if you look closely they are sewn up differently than when they were laid out last week!

Then as Id finished that well on time of my 21 days allotted to it I picked up my Bargello wall quilt and have been sashiko quilting that and having so much fun just letting needle and thread go were it wants to.

Where I was up to last time.

I have quilted down the centre panel and across the bottom of the quilt now working at the top

Close up of the bottom coloured thread is usually 4 or 3 threads of DMC

Yesterday when looking for some thing I came across a old swap or round-robyn I’d done in PNG about 20 years ago. there were 8 of us in the swap, we had to make a 1 to 1 1/2 metre square out of scraps of fabric we had no problem as there were no shops in PNG any way to buy new fabric LOL Add some thing to the finsihed piece of fabric we had made and give it a name, I added the water lollies and called it The Pond!!!! after 8 weeks this is what came back to me???? I did add the leaves in the top right hand corner afterwards as there was a large empty space there. We were all new to quilting and had no idea but we wanted to learn and some one had read about these mystery swaps we had fun and learnt a lot LOL

DGD who I was baby sitting was fascinated by it, I hung it at the end of my cutting table and DGD sat the whole time looking at it while she ate her lunch, I said do you like it “YES” would you like me to finish for you to take home, “can we sew it together next time I come?” So this is what we will be doing next time she comes for the day aged 4 may be a future quilter?
