Hello there,well things have been a tad quiet on my sewing front…
But I did manage to finish these 2 items which are of in the post too a special person,

Remember this post where I said I was doing the Stash Project by Judy, and I posted pics of my fabric all cut up- then I posted progress of my blocks coming together...then I had a nah I'm not in the mood to go near the machine or fabric day..lucky it only lasted 1 day..
I busied myself with block placement and settled on this which took me hours I might add...
Then Judy posted the Stash Project Setting ,Well today I have been connected to my machine like a bit of gum on the sole of your shoe collected from the footpath.
Errmm needless to say I have done nothing else today but sewn,and I what's more I enjoyed every minute.
And tada I have finished my TOP of the Stash Buster Project.
Had too shoo the darn cat off the back of the couch like 5 times, she thought I was playing a game and kept running across the back..
Now when Judy did her first post about this project she said if we don't like our Project we could just finish the top and send it to her and she would complete it into a quilt and donate it too an orphanage in Louisiana, a QOV or a veterans’ home .
ahh alas Judy's Stash Project has livened up something in me and I love my top and will be making it into a quilt soon as I can get some batting.
Big Thanks and lots a quilty Hugs to you Judy's generosity for sharing this project for many to enjoy,I have enjoyed making this even with the head muddle I had a couple of posts ago...
Cheers Vickie

Judy has revealed her COMPLETED quilt for the stash buster project ,my oh my how fab.
OH my this has been doing my head in, that tends too happen if I be thinkin about something too much..so today I just pulled a couple of diff fabrics and threw them on my blocks if nothing jumped then away they went well dang within minutes the borders where selected,see it don't pay for me too think too much specially when this is a STASHBUST project.
Now nothing matches in this it's all totally scrapped.
Blocks all laid out making sure there was a kinda dark-light pattern.
and this is what the borders will be...now I'm not a blue colour person ,but I remember this bit of blue was in the remnant bin and only cost me .75Cents.So
you see I will have the blue paisley kinda fabric then a thin brown silhouette fabric then the purpley-burgundy kind fabric.
Will still be interesting too see what this all looks like made up?
Cheers Vickie.

You have seen my meandering messy stitch yes?
Well I have come a tad attached to doing it but get annoyed with having to change all the settings when I want to sew normally-so last week I had a brainwave...hmm wonder if I could pick a cheap machine and just use it for messy meandering-now I did mean cheap cause I am not working at the moment-so I headed off to ebay arghhh nope anything cheap was a tad too aged for moi..So off to oztion I went and I could not believe what I saw so I immediately placed a bid
And I won yeah yipee for me,well it arrived Tuesday and I have been playing with it and it works wonderfully and my boing boing foot(darning foot)-fits it perfectly..
Well I was shocked when this arrived the box is in perfect condition and the machine looks brand new...and I paid a total of $81.oo including postage (which can be the killer)for it.
For some reason today I don't have any desire too sew, therefore I am taking myself off for a thrift shop hop..have a good day all.
Cheers Vickie
Thanks for dropping in.
Yeaeehah finally I have made some pillow slips/shams thingys ,to match the quilt that I finished way back long time , and posted aboit it -->CCQUILT,
I truly don't know what took me so long it was just one of them thangs....

Thanks for stopping by.
I have started sewing my Stash Project Blocks today,
hmm feel a tad blocked in no way the colour range here has given me a name for this project and it is
"Projects Revisited" as some of these scraps are from things I have made-the rest is from op-shop scores..
I am so happy that Judy has done this project for blogland to enjoy..there is no way I would of ever sewn these together like I have..
so here is some progress pics from today.
Dark centres with light borders-1 more border to go on the bottom (so to speak)
light centres with their matching rectangle sewn on-3 borders to still sew on.
