Another great idea for a blog hop from Carla at Creatin'in the sticks.
Now my first obvious thought was to do an orange peel quilt, I have a pattern for one they is in my one day file in my head but I couldn't find the pattern I can see it its a loose piece from either a magazine or shop brochure but I couldn't find it. So then I thought I am on a mission to finish my huge pile of WIP'S so I pulled out the Happiness Quilt circa 2014 from Monica Poole it was published in Homespun magazine as a block of the month done as a quilt as you go. I bought the material in March 2014, sewed some of the blocks in April 2017 on a weekend sewing trip and then last year I finished the rest of the blocks last year. So it is time to start quilting as I go

I have a few quilts with orange waiting to be sewed together or quilted this one is Whirligig by Emma Jean Janson

This is the second block from the Happiness Quilt


I bought a new sewing machine to use at sewing days but mainly on my quilt frame that still hasn't been put together but it will this weekend. I have helped the husband build raised garden beds and a chook pen and we have chopped down trees to put in the bottom of the raised beds and I am done I am going to work tomorrow in a new to me nursing home to get a rest from building and lugging and chopping and digging and barrowing.

These are the other clever people in the blog hop go see what they have done
thanks for visiting me
