EPP TUESDAY, AUSSIE CRITTERS AND COT QUILT

My contribution to Anthea's  EPP Tuesdays is a bit of a secret. Previously I showed you a couple of blocks from "The New Hexagon" book . Since then I have remade one of the blocks with different colours as I felt it looked a bit pale and I have also nearly completed the project but cannot show you much of it as it is a shhhhhhh project. So here is what I can show you.

 

 

 

A while back I started stitching Michelle's  new Christmas pattern which I am making into a small table mat . It is nearly finished now, just 4 more to sew onto the middle block. 

 

 

 

 

After a little break from hand applique to give my fingers a chance to heal, I have now nearly finished stitching the squirrel on the cot quilt and just have the bird and part of an owl's face to complete. Then I just need to add the borders and I will feel that it is nearly finished. Hopefully, it will be ready in time for my grandchild's birth in February.

 

 

 

 

Thankyou for visiting me.

TUESDAY LINK UP AGAIN

 

 

I have a couple of things to show you this time. My final Lucy Boston "Patchwork of the Crosses" block.

 

 

 

These Lucy blocks have challenged me with a lot of fussy cutting but I have now become a little addicted despite endless frustration. I am making a small project as a gift for someone using some hexies from " The New Hexagon" by Katja Marek. As you can see, this one is fussy cut and I love how it looks.

 

 

 

 

The second block isn't very impressive. No fussy cutting but I liked the purple fabric.

 

 

 

 

So, that's my contribution to Anthea's link up this week. Pop on over to Anthea's to see what she and others have been doing.

LAST LUCY AND AUSSIE CRITTERS

 I have only just ironed the last Lucy Boston "Patchwork of the Crosses" block and now I am planning the fussy cut filler blocks so I can start piecing the quilt together. Unfortunately the fussy cutting in this block isn't 100% accurate but I will never finish the quilt if I start reverse sewing the blocks that aren't entirely precise. So, here it is. Dahdah!!!

 

Here are the Aussie Christmas critters ,( as I call them), ready to make into a table mat when I find suitable fabric. This pattern is for Christmas decos from Michelle, but I decided to make them into something else. They are so cute. They are quick to sew , so pop on over to Michelle's blog if you wish to make some in time for Christmas.

 

 

Now I can get back to the crib quilt appliqueing and finish crocheting the baby blanket.

OCTOBER O.P.A.M

                  I only have one completed project this month. I suppose it is better than none.

 

 

So many projects on the go but a while before they will appear under the banner of O.P.A.M
