September was a bit busy-ish, Spring scrub stitchin' was great, there was some great quilting there to see and some amazingly talented women there. I sat near Karen from Cobar and my word she was organised I think she got 15 things sewn, she had a heap cut and some half sewn but she was pedal to the floor the whole weekend. Brenda celebrated her 90th birthday and showed off some of her amazing bears and mice. Janice was busy making donation quilts.
I pieced a top that I started at SS in April, and then made 2 table runners from a layer cake that I had, I cut the first one wrong so it is narrower and with a border. This was my Chooky challenge for September and I am happy to say they are both finished, one just landed on the table and the other has been sent to Sydney to Sophie's grandmother.
I love the backing that I used it is a wide back so there was no need to join it.
I didn't get around to doing my RSC blocks in brown or black but I may do them both this month. I have been inspired by Karen from Cobar and I have been cutting projects for future sewing, small and big kits that have been sitting in the cupboard so far I have 9 cut. I have a sewing weekend in Mudgee with the Coolah ladies in a fortnight and I am off work this week as Brad was here on the weekend and his car broke down so he took mine so that he didn't miss work.
I found and tried a new recipe it was delicious and made a huge amount.
This month for the Chookshed Challenge it should be number 8 which is a Christmas project yay!

You had a busy month. Lovely to see inspiration from the retreat and that pasta bake looks good.
It was the best fun at the retreat, wasn’t it. I love getting inspired by what others are doing. Your projects were lovely, especially your quilt top. So pretty. Good on you for making up some kits. That will make things nice and easy at your sewing days. Much less thinking than having to cut out accurately.
Yes, Christmas this month for me as well!! It is so great to see you were doing some SS. I didn't know you ladies met in September as well. Good on ya!
I am finally back in blogland after a couple of busy months and am working to catch up.
