Churn Dash SAL (Progress)


My Churn Dash quilt is coming along nicely. After making the first few blocks, I cut up more pieces for further blocks and these blocks were made as leaders and enders. 



It’s amazing how quickly a second quilt can come together just by feeding through clock components in the middle of other sewing. 

I was initially going to do bright colours with low volume backgrounds but have changed it up and will do a scrappy mix of bright backgrounds with low volume “churns” (is that what you’d call them?).

In other news this week, even after being repaired, my oven stopped working AGAIN. The timing was quite annoying as there was a loaf of bread, a home made pizza and a dozen cupcakes all ready to go in to be baked. 

Rather than spend hundreds of dollars to get the repairman out and then possible fix it (or not), we decided to just get a new one. Harvey Norman had a few different freestanding oven/cookers in stock so it was just a matter of choosing the one we liked best. 


We chose this shiny black one and I’m in love - if loving an appliance is a thing. What made us decide to ultimately go with this one is the burner placement on top. A couple of big burners on opposite corners (for large pans) won out as I honestly do most of my cooking on the stove rather than oven.

First thing I baked was a tray of cinnamon scrolls with cream cheese frosting. Yum!!


The teachers in our state are on strike today (second last day of term). The kids are so pleased with this and are hoping for an extra day off school tomorrow so that their school holidays can start early. Hmmm… we’ll see.

  1. Oh I love hour churn dash design!! I honestly haven't made a churn dash anything yet but you have inspired me, thank you.
    And, if it is okay with you, I love your new range and oven with/for you. My rental's range and oven (separate items) are electric and from the mid 1970's.
