I have been working rather slowly on the Bothy Thread Seasonal Panel – Spring. It is interesting to stitch and the colours are beautiful, although I am not sure all the colours will show up on photos as they are in reality.
Here is where I was ….
Here is my progress …
Why not grab a cuppa and peruse the other names listed below to see how much progress everyone has made. We all work on a variety of skills and post every three weeks.
I have managed quite a bit of sewing on the actual red work section of this quilt. I have finished the June block and have just started the July block. However, I have also finished sewing together the pieced blocks for this quilt.
Here is a photo of the finished blocks – Oct and Nov (with the poppy)

I have struggled these past three weeks to get some sewing done on my chosen project. My sewing time has been taken up visiting my mum in hospital as she has recently been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and has been rushed in urgently to have the tumour removed. The doctor is optimistic in the fact of removing everything but I’m sure they might need to do another scan to check. So at present no chemo or radiotherapy. Back home now and visiting her there. My two brothers live at home so that takes some of the stress away- they can cook and clean ( mum made sure we could all look after ourselves from an early age), and I provide the emotional support and a woman’s touch. Lots of cuddles and tears needed in the beginning but she is fighting head-on. Feeling a little stretched at the moment, as my husband who is older than me also needs my help in doing things around the garden, which due to the start of nicer weather has sprung into life. What a curveball !!
Sorry – onto sewing subject, here is where I was last time ….
Here is my small progress …
Please take a peek at the other members have achieved on their individual projects.
Life has thrown me a curve ball and my mojo for sewing was totally off kilter. I have, however, managed to get some stitches into the June Red work block these past three weeks and it now looks like this.

after 3 weeks
Hopefully I will be able to get a lot more sewing done this week as I have some time off from the paid job and then it is Easter so a long holiday.
Well that is all for me this time, please take a look at the other members projects as listed below.
Bye

I have slowed on the stitching front a little but knowing I needed to show something over the past three weeks ahs spurred me on. I have started the Bothy threads Seasons Panel – Spring. It is pastel colours and looks very pretty, so far I am using one thread on 14 count Zweigart Aida and the threads provided
Here is my start
Well that is me short and sweet this week.
Please grab a cuppa and peruse the other members listed below to see their achievements over the past three weeks.
This post is to let you know that I accidently sent this post to the blogosphere on the wrong date – it went out dated 2nd Feb 2024 so for an update on the grey quilt please scroll down to that date.
I have a Happy Dance to share – the Flower Fairy Quilt/Wall Hanging is now got her binding sewn on and is finished. Yahoo! Well that is one off the huge pile of UFO Quilts that Need Quilting and Binding Pile.
Close ups of the finished quilt
Now do I fold or roll for storage? Which is your preferred method?
That’s all for now, take care and thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Today is another little mini dance as I have finished the May Basket to my Redwork Basket Quilt by Mandy Shaw of Dandelion Designs.
Here is the completed May Redwork and the Patchwork Block for May
I have also made a start on the June Basket, and I am immensely pleased that I am now half way through these baskets. I only have two more patchwork blocks to finish and the whole year of those will be complete. The final thing will be to join these two sets together.
Here is June started
Well that is me for now, so why not grab a cuppa and peruse the other members listed below to see what they have achieved these past three weeks.

I am a bit late to the party this week. I haven’t actually started my new project yet but I have sorted the threads and prepped the aida in a hoop. I am stitching a Bothy Threads design which will be the first of four – they are the four seasons. They are like blackwork but using coloured threads instead but the idea is the same, Here are some photo of the finished piece.
Sorry photo not very good in this light.
So that is me this week, why not grab a cuppa and peruse the names listed below and see how they have fared these past three weeks.
I just wanted to update about the grey quilt, I found it difficult to line everything up, just not make it work so have changed the pattern to a chevron design, see photo. It still showcases the William Morris fabric well.
The only block I might move is the bottom left – which would mean the whole line moves left one block and the removed block would be on the right end instead. What do you think?
I love to share my Quilting projects with other Quilters. My goal is to share my progress on projects that I am working on. I would love for you to follow along with me during my endeavors. I hope you enjoy watching me tackle new techniques and projects. Hopefully you can learn from my "hiccups" and mistakes and make your journey easier.
