Progress - Peeks

Last week I managed to get 12 blocks made for the bushfire quilt project, now ready to mail.
If you want to see some amazing blocks, pop over to the group and have a look.

I found 60 orphan blocks that I can send to Janet and plan on making a few more some time this week.

Tracey is also calling for blocks for ladies in her area that have lost their homes in the fires, so I'll whip up a few more and send those off as well. I think that should keep me busy and that's where I'll stop with the bushfire blocks.

I put the last embroidery stitch into this,

and this, this weekend.
Two separate projects, but both with deadlines and both just peeks at the moment, and this one had the first of the machine quilting started on Friday.

Hopefully this will be the year to finish up some of the projects that have been left behind from last year.

Happy Stitching.
