February Done and Dusted

 Goodbye Feb you hot month, I will not miss you. This was a lovely sunrise that I captured. The garden is struggling it has been so hot and dry.


I finished the top of my No 2 in the Chookshed Challenge and I am very happy with it, it will hopefully get quilted very soon and gifted to our friend in Wollongong who always lets us stay at her place when we go down adn she is letting Dave live there half the week while he's at work. This is a free pattern by Lella Boutique, I started it at Scrub Stitchin last year and finished it in February.
I have been binding like mad while watching telly finishing quilts that will be going in the Gunnedah Show this year, the first is the Kinship Fusion quilt whish was a sewalong as a block a day for 100 days run by @gnomeangel. I started it in July 2019, finished the top at the end of 2019 got it quilted last year and now it's a finished quilt
The fabric shop in Gunnedah is closing but the had a sale I spent February and March's fabric budget on some widebacks, neutrals and pretty colours to go in the stash. I truly don't know why it doesn't get smaller haha.
    
This quilt was a stash buster that was meant to be a rainbow style but I got carried away cutting yellows and oranges, I have a box of green waiting for the white to be cut too. It is finished.
My SAHRR quilt has stopped it was too hot to sew when the rounds were announced I have them cut they will get done this month I hope.

February Goals
Sew for 30 minutes a day 21/29 not bad
Year to date sewing for 30 minutes 45/60
Reading - no books finished 

Bye

That’s a pretty good effort for the month. I love the flower quilt. Good on you for entering the show. It’s a pity more don’t. What a shame the fabric shop is closing. I’ve popped in there at times on our way through.
