handstitching project back on track

hello!
i have been working hard on my machine piecing projects out in my sewing space in the back shed when i have time - but i have been wanting to get something on the go for the evening times. puglet is now going down at the same time as the little human in the evenings and then waking for feeds later - so i have a bit of down time

i rediscovered my love for this project in the last few days and really want to keep it moving. i looked back through the blog and found my last post about it over a year ago! crikey.

here are some pictures of what i have achieved in the last few days.  my aim is to piece the entire quilt by hand.  it is a good project for this because it is made of small blocks joined into larger ones, joined into the quilt

i just love the colours and the scrappy look of it.  this is what the finished thing should look like!

ive finished the top 2 large squares only!  gotta keep stitching :)

here is a sneak peek of something i made for a PIF person :) in the mail in the next couple of days - number 1 finished!

on the kids front, everything is going really well. puglet is starting to settle into a kind of pattern, so things a bit more predictable during the day now. she is a really placid baby, which is great for the energy of the little human!

much love pugs and kisses
