Road Trip and other Bits
Recently a friend and I headed off on a little road trip. A favourite shop - Threadbare at Castlemaine is closing it's doors in May, sadly so a visit was in order especially with 40% off -
Now I tried to be good - I really did, and I even had a list but a couple of extras's may have come home with me. On the left are some backgrounds which I am always using and looking for. The red may have been a "just cos" purchase" and the browns I needed for a Stitchalong I'm doing of Michelle's lovely Christmas quilt - they will become plum pudding and gingerbread men, etc. The caramels and black will go in my husband's special "0" birthday quilt, which is past I might add.
Stitching wise I have been doing Lisa from FignBerries Christmas block of the month. I am a little behind, but am enjoying these cute blocks.

And I've been working on the projects from the Gail Pan/Bonnie Sullivan class I did. This cute sewing bag is ready to put together - think it's the zip that's putting me off lol.
Now I'm also working on another project with Fiona and Michelle - "A Gardener's Journal" from Anni Downs, which I've had for a long time, so with Fiona's encouragement I have dragged it out. Now for some reason, which escapes me at the moment lol, I decided to work on the big house block first, so progress has been slow. And I have actually done the verandah posts and the door since this photo was taken.
And because I can't not have a wool project on the go at the moment I have finished block 3 of "Little Woolly Sampler" from Jenny of Woollen Willow designs. Cheryl

Nice purchases and you are working on lots of lovely projects...I'm like you , working on too many things at once. I should finish one at a time... 😟
It is always sad to hear of a quilt shop closing...glad though that you made sure they didn't have too much fabric left over to have to move and store :-) Your ABC stitcheries are lovely - I'm doing this too but haven't started yet. In fact all your projects are lovely - you have plenty to keep you out of mischief!
Gorgeous fabrics. How sad the shop is closing. Love your projects. Hugs,xx
My goodness you have lots of lovely things on the go Cheryl!! Your purchases are lovely, there are always those I might use someday fabrics aren't there!! I have several!! Lol!! Love the stitcheries and the wooly block looks lovely. Enjoy Michelle's quilt, it has beautiful stitcberies.
