A Wonky Finish

Only 10 days late for Myra's PhD Challenge but an early finish for July's OPAM. (Please click on their logos on my right sidebar to read more.)

My version of Wonky Houses is finished! Ta-da!


Way back in February 2009, Jenny of ELEFANTZ created this mini block of the month wall hanging as a gift to we crafters.



My stitcheries have been patiently waiting for the time to come when they could become one as a wall hanging to adorn my walls. That is if DD doesn't wisk them away as per her initial comment...she also suggested the vine machine quilting.

Now back to that log cabin quilt. All my projects seem to require patience as they wait for progress.

My PhD's

That would be PhD for Projects Half Done and I have quite a few of those ... surprise, surprise!!

Myra has challenged herself to finish her PhD's and we're invited to keep her company ... sooooo ...


I've set myself 3 projects to finish off by June 30.

In no particular order ~

Quilt-as-you-go Log Cabin for my King Bed (36 blocks - all at this stage)


Fish Pond Wall Hanging (This is how a saw it last - top half)

Wonky Houses Wall Hanging (Sashing strips cut ready)

Of course I have more PhD's but I'm trying to be realistic and any more finishes before the deadline will be a bonus!

Wonky House 4 and May

With the power off for a little while this morning, there was nothing to do but finish this off ... my Wonky House #4.
They've been so much fun to do and we have Jenny to thank for her creativity and sharing the designs. I've now trimmed the four and have chosen a different fabric to border each house. Then I'll think about the next step.

Yesterday I was very pleased with myself. I managed to sew all the May strips together for my Calendar Quilt and ... still have one day of May to spare. Neither April or May's fabrics came from my stash ... to find out more you might like to click on the logo on my sidebar.

I also have a plan for the fabric for June, but you'll have to wait till the end of June for those.

Happy Sewing

Wonky House 1 and Giveaway

The lovely Jenny over at Elefantz is giving away her home. That is, she's giving away this sweet Wonky House wall hanging to one lucky stitcher. Just click on the wall hanging to read all about it.


One stipulation is that you post a pic of at least one of your own completed Wonky Houses so . . .
here's mine. I used a yellow for the border but it's not showing up very well.



They are all so cute and fun to stitch. Can't wait for No. 4 which comes out on Saturday the 9th.

Happy Stitching
