SKOW . . .

Just love, love, love the quilts . . .

I have been reading your posts and just so admire the time and effort you have all put 

into your SKOW quilts - they are absolutely beautiful and a real credit to one and all

congratulations

I felt the whip cracking from Chookyblue (ouch, ouch) but just knew I couldn't 

deliver, so  unfortunately, I have pulled out of the SKOW as I really bit off 

more than I could chew this past year.

But for me all is not lost as I will be turning my eleven completed blocks into table 

runner and napkins.  When completed I will post some pics.Again, congratulations 

and I look forward to seeing other finished quilts.  Cheers, SuziQ

SKoW - Still here!

Hi everyone . . . I thought I best get my act together and post at least what I have done otherwise you will think I have dropped off the planet! Life has been a little hectic lately as I am sure you all know too well.  I am up to date with blocks December, January and February except for last block, ie. the book.

I haven't been blogging at all - must prioritise my life!

Silly me didn't cut the extra squares etc. when I first commenced this wonderful journey, so have been cutting, cutting and cutting - finally finished!

I think I might invest in an Accuquilt Go after this cutting exercise - any reviews out there on the Accuquilt Go?

Anyhow, just touching base and I love seeing all of the finished blocks 

on this blog they are all unique and special.  

Until next time . . . enjoy whatever you are doing each day

SKoW - Back on Track

Dear SKoW friends . . . just wanted to let you know I am still around, I came to a grinding halt due to a very persistent virus which has hit me now three times and I am really over it!! Dr. finally gave me much stronger antibiotics, so hopefully back on the mend.

I have been keeping up to date with all of your posts and I think by the looks of it we are all really enjoying this wonderful project!  Everyone is putting their own special touches to each panel - well done.

I am including a pic of some of my completed blocks - I had been enjoying the needle turn until the virus, so back on track hopefully this weekend.

Until next time, enjoy your day, SuziQ

SKOW - Yes, I have started . . .

Hello and happy new year ... have been watching 

all of the posts coming through and I must say I 

had better get a hurry on.  It looks like everyone 

is enjoying this project!

I did prepare in early December, cutting, sorting 

into my plastic bags, making templates etc. but 

then it all came to a sudden halt - but now back 

on track . . . have a couple of days off now so it 

is back into it.

I have been sorting out the sewing room and have 

put all of my "many" projects away in labelled 

colourful boxes and have included the date ... 

this way it makes me take a hard look at all of 

these projects before I dash off and want to 

start a new one - you know what I mean!!!

I have decided to try needle turn on this project, 

so far I have marked and pressed each piece 

ready for sewing onto main fabric.  I don't know 

if I will do all of the quilt this way, I may alternate 

with blanket stitch - not sure at this point, will 

see how I go with this one first!

Keep up the great work everyone, your posts 

have inspired me to get cracking. 

Until next time, SuziQ

SKoW - Stitch-a-Long

I have my Anni Down's "Some Kind of Wonderful" book and her fabric range for this fabulous "My Favourite Things" quilt and just can't wait to commence.  I have registered for the "stitch-a-long" and am really hoping that I can become a member - fingers crossed that there are enough spaces available and I can join in the fun!  If not, I will be there in spirit with many like-minded people.
Until next time, Suzi
