April is over

Well they say time flies faster when you get old, April flew by and I am older I refuse to say I'm old, that is why I work in Aged Care so I will be younger than the people I'm around. HAHA

April challenge for the Chookshed challenge was no 9 for me it was to make a Chandalier Quilt which I cut and took to Scrub Stitchin, unfortunately the fabric gods weren't playing nice and one of my fat quarters was small so I was 2 squares short, I have scraps so I can splice up what's needed, and then when I got home I couldn't find (and still haven't found) the scraps

She is under the needle at the moment waiting for work to finish so I can get back to quilting her,it's big and I love it.
This is Janice's beatiful Laundry Basket designs quilt that she was working on at Scrub Stitchin, then our great goody bags, the little corner that I was in surrounded by Janice's and Chookies quilts. Brenas lovelly embroidered picture embellished with old jewellry, A beautiful Barradine sunset, Tina and Harriet in their Star wars outfits and the room decorated for Saturday night dinner and lastly the braided designs that the girls were making with a jelly roll.




When I got home on the Sunday I discovered that my niece had taken 2 of the little stray kittens home with her so only 5 to get rehomed now.
I haven't been sewing much this past week I think I oversewed to get things done for the show and Scrub Stitchin but I'm getting back into the groove now.
May Chookshed Challenge number is 5 which for me is my Basket quiltI think I have around 29 blocks done I just need to work out whats doing next.
