Once again Wendy of Sugarlane Quilts hosted this event. http://sugarlanequilts.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/fnsi-sign-ups.html
Just for a short time last night I worked on my Trip Arounnd the World (TAW) quilt. Or should I say started on my TAW??? Some of the Sunday Stitchers are working on this challenge during 2015. We got the first lot of instructions in January but I'm only starting now. Part of the hold up was my 'fiddle faddling' about the choice of fabrics...I continually dithered about what fabrics I should use.
But a week ago I knew that I had to start as the first stage should be finished by April 26. So early this last week I started cutting 2" squares from a bundle of fabrics from the stash. And last night I started stitching. The red and white dotty fabric has to be used in 2 rows of the first stage of the challenge; the middle and one other of the 9 rounds.
This is a hand stitching project so I'm 'right at home' as I love hand stitching!
You are off to a nice start. My problem is also choosing fabrics. I change my mind repeatly.
ReplyDeleteYou did it Maria, chose your fabrics and made a good start!
ReplyDeleteHa ha Maria - fabric choices can really delay things, can't they?!

I know what you mean Maria. These look good though so you're off to a good start. hugs....
ReplyDeleteChoosing fabrics does take time but I do like the colours you have chosen for your TAW.....
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting on well Maria. Nice colours. xx
ReplyDeleteIts always a tough choice - too many temptations. Going well...You should catch up - but the knitting might have to take a back seat for a bit.
ReplyDeleteWell done Maria! You are out of the starting gate xx
ReplyDeleteIt's hard sometimes making fabric choices...and you are handstitching as well..a great start..
ReplyDeleteChoosing fabric is THE hardest part for me! Looks like you're off to a great start though, and wow all hand stitched? I'm so impressed!
