March Chookshed number and February progress

 How did your February sewing goals work out? Mine went well.

I managed to get my #8 top done minus the border. These Kaffe prints have a border print that goes with them.  I know because I happened to have only 1 yard of it. I ordered more and await its arrival. 


It feels good to have another UFO nearly finished! This was a mystery quilt made a few years ago. I signed up to make 4 of them. One is done, another is at the quilters, and the other needs to be assembled. 

NOW FOR THE NEW NUMBER. DRUM ROLL, PLEASE...

The number for March is 2! My number 2 is to make a bag. That is perfect because I have three in the works.


What else did I get done in February?  Quite a bit, actually.  I prepared some Let's Bake blocks for applique and stitching. The hand mixer and kitchen scale are ready to take to Baradine. I love this quilt. 


My stove is pieced and the dish towel is prepared for stitching.



Farm Sweet Farm also has the tractor block prepared for stitching. I am making two of these quilts and the other didn't get prepped yet. This one took hours! These blocks get cuter once buttons can be added to the flower centers and tractor tires. The embroidery will also finish it off nicely.  


My milk bottle and egg beater are also ready.



I will be unable to load the linky today because I don't have my laptop. I will be home late tomorrow night and can add it then. 

My Sydney Harbour Bridge is also nearly finished. There are a few more places needing machine blanket stitch.

  2. Your Sydney harbour bridge is looking great. Glad you are getting organised for Baradine. Can’t wait. My # 2 is some braid placemats. I seem to be on a roll with braids atm.

  8. Very cute kitchen blocks!
    Your Sydney Harbor piece is beautiful, and brings back lots of memories of cruising under it last year.

  10. I love all your work Deana. What a pity your number draws never match my number thoughts. But I have got things ready for Baradine. I look forward to seeing you there.

  11. You’re going great fun’s getting your sampler quilts done. I can’t get over how different the pattern looks in the different fabrics. Your interpretation of the Harbour Bridge is outstanding. I’m blown away by it.

  13. Your appliqué is always so delightful! Is Baradine a retreat? At first when I read that you had gotten things "ready for Baradine," I thought Baradine might be the name of your long arm quilter -- but then I read in the comments that Ma Betty is "looking forward to seeing you there." I hope you have a wonderful time!

  14. Your quilt looks great Deana. So does your Sydney Harbour bridge. Your Let's bake blocks look great. I always wanted to make that quilt. I have the pattern but didn't get around to buying the shapes templates. Looking forward to meeting you in person at Scrub Stitchin'.
