Well here we are at the mid way check in! I will admit to my heart sinking when i saw the call to link up. I was sure that i had done nothing of note and would score a big fat fail on most of the list but actually I had done way more than i thought and can tick some big wins off the list! Which is the whole point of having the link up, not only for accountability but to show you how much you have actually done, so thank you Archiethewonderdog! so What can I tick off the list?
Garden Trellis
So that was the Garden Trellis quilt top when i started the list, very happy to say it is now finished! Here is the link to the full post and here is a pic of the completed top, beautifully quilted by Cumbrian Long Armer.
So that is a big fat tick!
Blossom Jane
Ah, not any progress with this unfortunately, too much other stuff on the go and I have sort of lost my way with it a bit, thinking I will wait till retirement and get back to it with a clear and less stressed head!
Hexagon sewing case
Done! another big fat tick! I loved making this even though i did get the dogs the wrong way round! but managed to fix it. Link to full post on this.

Yea!!! another partial tick for this, I have now done the Lion, need to add Cheetah to the list but there is movement here!

I’m sorry I made your heart sink, but glad you didn’t ignore the request to write your report as you’ve done marvellously and made some excellent progress in many areas. And hooray for finishes *waves pompoms* I think one of the advantages of Fettling and Furtling being about progress as well finishes is that we get to see for ourselves (and demonstrate to others) how much we’ve actually achieved in the time and we get to celebrate that with our chums. I hope Scoobs didn’t get indigestion from being chased away from the table with the last spoonful of his breakfast still in his hand?!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a welcome surprise to see how much I had done! Scoobs is all fine, no indigestion 🤣 and I loooooove a pompom wave 🥰🥰🥰
DeleteWell done! *Gang waves pompoms* Looks like excellent progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love a pom pom wave!
