I pulled out my box of Klosjes (It's amazing what you find when you clean out the cupboard) and joined them all together. I will put a couple of borders around it and call it finished.
I pieced some blocks together for Hertfordshire. This will be the next border on from the little hexagons.
Start a new quilt, this one is called Stonefields by Susan Smith. A very large quilt with lots and lots of beautiful handpieced and appliqued blocks and hexagon flowers.
Of course, why start one new quilt when you can start two! The Chapman Coverlet, based on the original at the V & A Exhibition in Brisbane, also by Susan Smith.
This is the centre for the Chapman Coverlet, an antique piece of fabric I bought at Quilts in the Barn last year.
I haven't actually started a third quilt yet, but I am amassing quite a large pile of fabric for a particular quilt which I am going to try and NOT START until I finish something else!
Of course, when you are amassing fabric, there are always other pieces of fabric that have to come home with you - these are from Threadbear yesterday. We had our first CAG meeting for the year. Unfortunately there are no photos today as most of Show & Tell will be on display here:
If you can get to this exhibition, I'm sure you will not be disappointed. There will be lots and lots of beautiful appliqued quilts for you to feast your eyes upon.
Beautiful little Evie coped just fine throughout our worst summer that I can remember. Nothing like a full belly to relax our little cherub.
Thankfully it has been a little cooler this week and hopefully we have seen the last of the extreme heat. Now all we need is some rain please.

I too love all your projects and wonderful fabrics !
Totally in love with the Stonefields quilt.
Evie is definitely a cherub and very content.
Hoping to get to Castlemaine.
You definitely have a flair with fabric! Love all your projects.......every time I read your blog I find a new project I want to start! I am happy to see the end of summer too. Evie looks very happy.
Oh Sue-Anne, what gorgeous fabrics!!
Love your work,..
Evie looks very happy, grandma,..
:o)
Wave back to beautiful Evie!
:o)
In answer to your question at the top of your post .... I don't know; I can't remember when it was hot here. It is very cold in England now! But seriously, I loved looking at your work and your little hexagons are just gorgeous. xCathy
Being too hot is just a distant memory for me but I'm sure I'll experience it again soon! During those times, I try to do small projects or at least little pieces of things. Your projects and fabric look wonderful and Evie is so very sweet!
Lovely post! All wonderful projects! And, nice to know that someone else starts new (big) projects without necessarily finishing. Love the center piece of fabric with the sheep on it--perfect!
Thank you Sue-Anne. I must admit did laugh when I saw the header and thought "she does listen" and then a devine blog showing lots of eye candy including the perfect grandchild. Well done. xx
What a great use for that beautiful piece of antique fabric - do love the Chapman quilt! And all your other fabrics are gorgeous too. All such lovely projects. Looking forward to that show!
Hilda
always love to see what your working on...........
wow, all your projects look great. Love your fabrics too. Too hot? can't quite imagine that right now in the worst winter I can remember.
I have that lamb fabric in black, one of my favorites.
what a sweet angel baby!
You always have such beautiful posts! The fabrics and the projects are gogreous! Ooo Evie is too sweet!
Hope there will be lots of photo's of the exhibition for those of us who are very jealous at not being able to go and visit for real. Always great eye candy to see on your blog Sue-Anne and little Evie is simply gorgeous. Yummy.
I can relate to your dilemma about starting projects! In fact, I didn't even post about one of the projects that I started as I was too embarrassed to admit that I joined in a QAL when I had just been complaining about having so many projects to get done as well as UFOs, etc! I do love the projects you have going. I'm even tempted to start making Klosjes! But, I'll try not to do so.
Wow you certainly have some lovely fabric choices happening there.
And Evie is just perfect.

All of your fabrics are to swoon for. Your work is lovely and has a vintage warmth.
