EDITED to ADD: I neglected to mention that the appliques were all prepared ready for me to stitch them on Saturday, and that the baby quilt was basted on Sunday. I didn't mean to write it to read that I prepared, stitched AND basted in the short time, sorry! Bec xxx
I thought I had lots of time this weekend just gone to do some sewing amongst other things because there was no soccer on the Saturday. I ended up with 40min that afternoon and was interupted three times. A bit later in the afternoon I managed to snag two more 40 minute sessions. Why 40mins??? I listen to podcasts when I sew (mostly) and alot of these are for 40min. Though I didn't achieve all that I set out to, I was happy with what I did get done - always set more than I can manage!
Here is another Harvest Home Sampler block. I still have a few more blocks to do as I have fallen behind.
The centre block for Little Macca's Farm. As you can see storing them and not finishing them isn't good for the edges....
I basted a small baby quilt in our new loungeroom. The room is a similar size to the loungeroom we left in Bathurst. At the moment it is great for basting; till hubby starts sanding the walls....
Another block for Matilda Station. The top of the windmill goes on once this block is joined to another block as it overlaps. Nice big pieces to applique in this block.
Some bath mitts, made from wavy chenille. They feel ever so soft and lovely....
I have done more since the weekend, stitching for Gardeners Journal quilt and a journal cover for the Early Bird Christmas Crafting (see top of the sidebar); will show you in the next couple of days.

I'm surprised you have any time at all for stitching with all the demands your brood must make! Great applique panels, they're going to look so good once they're finished.
You have been busy Bec despite Interruption's. Looking forward to seeing the overlapping windmill top somewhere in the future :)
Your blocks are looking great Bec. Well done on all you achieved in such a short time. Love your bath mits.. What a great idea with some nice soap for a Christmas gift xx

Wow! You have achieved a lot (even with the preparation). You must be thrilled with your achievements. Your loungeroom is going to be a good size and I love the way you are making the most of that big vacant floor in the meantime.
