One of my goals in April (for WOOFA) was to make some progress on Foxley Village, a Natalie Bird design run as a BOM in the Australian Homespum magazine a few years ago.
I've completed another applique block —
Really happy with how this is shaping up. I'm enjoying using these fabrics, I'm not quite sticking to the ones Natalie used but using her choices as a guide.
Thanks Cheryll for helping us keep on with these unfinished projects!
And I very nearly missed on my walk tonight, too. I got busy zoom-chatting to the scrub stitching tribe and nearly ran out of daylight.
I did however make it up the hill across the bridge. The cows thought they might be lucky with some extra food when I walked on by —
And a goodnight wave to our son and his family. They would have all been busy with baths and bed so I let them be —
This is the 33rd day in a row that I have taken a serious walk (and blogged) - every day since level 4 lockdown began so I'm happy with myself. Some days I've had to push myself to fit it in but I have managed!
I've completed another applique block —
Aptly named The Quilt Shop, Part 8.
But the main thing I wanted to do with Foxley Village was to get some piecing done this month. Today I completed the block for section 2 —

This project has very nearly taken over to the detriment of a couple of other things I wanted to achieve this month. So I have now pieced the first two columns, months 1-4, which feels like a good place to leave it for now —
(Again, please excuse the poor lighting for the photo, I got busy and forgot to take a photo while it was still light outside!)

But no such luck. Here they are, from the top of the hill —
The daylight was fading quickly so I didn't muck around too long and headed straight home.
See you next time,
happy and healthy stitches,
it is nice that we have our blogs in a time like this and all the friends around the world to check in on and see how they are doing and handling the same crisis - it really is odd for all countries to be dealing with the same thing.
ReplyDeleteFoxley Village is so pretty, I love seeing it. Thanks for walking everyday and posting everyday. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteand we have enjoyed reading all 33 posts that you have written and have enjoyed going on the daily walks with you and the dog--

Foxley is so sweet. You live in a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteLike you some days I have had to push myself to fit in my walk or blog. Unfortunately it is the quilting that has had the least attention from me....but when the sun is shining and the garden so big...oh well never mind.
