Pattern is going to be a little late

I'll try and finish pattern tomorrow but just can't get my head around it tonight. 
Sorry everyone, Dr has put me on some medication that has got a few side effects, fingers crossed they settle down later in the week.  I promise to leave this months block up the extra days next month.  Once again sorry.

Here are all the blocks how they should appear in the finished quilt.  There are 4 corner blocks to go and a few more filler blocks to make but I think it is taking shape.

Workshop with the Amazing Wendy Williams

You all know that I am a bit of an embroidery freak so I have been looking forward to the workshop with Wendy Williams since I booked a place, though I was feeling a bit off Saturday morning, luckily I made my self go and got over it within an hour as I got emersed in Wendy's Quilts.

First we received a talk by Kathy Doughty about colour and inspiration then on to 2 full days of Wool Felt instruction with Wendy and I think I have finally mastered colonial knots.  Luckily I photographed them step by step so I can go back to the pictures later.  There was lots of other Wendy specific embroidery stitches and lots and lots of eye candy on show.

I was very tired by the end of the weekend but had an amazing time.

I have included a few detailed shots of Around the Garden above later in the post the detail is spectacular.  

MIA

I haven't been myself recently, generally unwell and out of sorts with everything.  Dr has me on a course of B12 injections which will hopefully get me out of this funk.  Dr says it will take about 4 weeks for the injections to start to take effect.

It has meant I'm ignoring social media, blogs, my blog, pinterest, I haven't read the paper in over 3 weeks and seen the news in that length of time.  I have been doing a lot of reading and generally trying to escape into my head.  

The sewing mojo has vacated the premises however I did make myself do the next block which you will see below.  I think this is my favourite block of the whole quilt, but that might change.  I was going to do two pieced blocks but I don't think I will be able to so you will only get one this month.

This week is Wendy Williams at Hetties which I have been looking forward to for months and at this point I am going to have to make myself go.

DH has made me book a holiday in October, and I have found the perfect place for Coco to stay while we are gone, so we are heading North to some sunshine soon.

So please forgive my absence i'm just taking a rest from the outside world for a bit.

Flowers for Alison Block 2

This month there is some appliqué and some more piecing.  You will be making 6" finished Churndash blocks and 6" finished Ohio stars.  The churn dash blocks will eventually border the Flame Flower Block but not this month so just put all the blocks aside for now.  

Please note that the pattern for Machine appliqué and needle turn appliqué are the same this month.
