Finished.....

the Paln C Schnibble is finished, I sewed the binding down yesterday at Dear Jane..

yippee

Love the final result

and my dodgy quilting lol, I just stitched in the ditch around each block

then I did every 2nd, row in the scrappy border.

Its now waiting for its turn in the washing machine and dryer.

Hope you get some sewing done this weekend.

Its days like today

that I wish I had a man around 24/7

our backyard grass was knee high, on me, so I decided I really needed to get it mowed TODAY

sadly our mower was very un co-operative and refused to start

plan A was born, I messaged a great man friend, who's words of wisdom were, new spark plug here is where to go lol

so

plan B came into effect I borrowed my gorgeous friends mower, an antique Victa

sadly I couldn't get that to start either as I couldn't pull the zip cord fast enough

plan C came into effect I rang my daddy who came to my rescue and got the antique to start lol

but I really should have bought the catcher home as I am going to have some serious mowing brusies tomrrow from things flying out the back of it lol lol lol

as for returning it, well when my gorgeous friends husband gets home tomorrow night he can come and get it, cause it only just fitted into the aspro lol lol lol

now I just need to finish the weeding and the garden will be back to looking gorgeous.

oh and I drowned every aphid I could find in Rose spray and I also de snailed the roses too

Plan C

Plan C,

is what I have been working on

and today I managed to get it finished

Schnibble number 1

Stitching Round the Block

Who else is taking part in Helen's Stitching Round the Block.

The lovely Lillian asked me yesterday if I would join her, Leanne and Rebecca

in Stitching around the block, of course I said yes.

I just hope I do it justice lol

Will share my fabric choice on the weekend after I have bought it lol

How exciting :)

Recovered

From my flying geese tanty that I had late last night.

It wasn't the goose's fault

it was mine

apparently the pattern says 4 1/4 " square

not the

4 1/2" squares that I cut

So I have now cut the right sized squares

made my flying geese

and

I am happily finishing sewing my lil Schnibble together

lordy was I frustrated.

Flying Geese

I hate you

I loathe you

I detest you

2 charm packs in the bin......

back to the drawing board and to Esmes for more charm packs and some flying geese assistance!
