An Animal Day.
Posted on | November 21, 2018 | 11 Comments
All the photos of projects in this post have animals. Not planned that way and I didn’t realise until I was preparing the photos.
First up are the Little Penguins from a McKenna Ryan block. I am back to working on these blocks. I think there are 3 more to go.
I am being very sensible and hoping to have this one ready for next Christmas – 2019. I know my limits.
Then I have a finished stitchery. It fits in a 6 inch hoop. Not sure if to finish it that way or to frame it. No rush there, either.
It’s a Cinderberry pattern from Natalie Lymer.
And last of all are the Aussie animal blocks being made for a quilt. They are all prepped and ready to stitch. No eyes of course yet. The pattern is from The Red Boot Quilt Company.
So that is what I will be stitching next. I think I will need to make a few extra but I will wait until I see how the layout goes, then decide.
I have been able to avoid the big stores for a while but today I had to be in the city and of course all the Christmas music was in full swing. It didn’t drown out the didgeridoo player in Bourke St Mall though.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Cheers, Karen
Hi Karen I love seeing your beautiful work,you have some beautiful projects on the go. Happy stitching my friend.
You have such great projects here. Each little animal is made so well! McKenna Ryan projects are so challenging, but not for you! Your penguins are coming along beautifully!
Your projects are wonderful! Cute that they are all animals. I have looked at McKenna Ryan and her patterns scare me…but not you! Those penguins are coming together so well!
Lovely animals.. they are always cheerful…. love them all….
I avoid cities as much as possible… it’s scary that it is necessary again for Christmas…
