Quilt back from Desley's

Desley has done another great job on my quilt. I have nearly completed the binding, I will be able to show it to the people who gave me the kit soon !!

The consequences of tidying up!


I decided I could not put off tidying the sewing room any longer. It was with trepidation that I finally ventured up there and was confronted with so much mess I did not know where to start - I am not exaggerating! Anyway, the consequences are that I have found many things that are 'almost' finished and I really need to decide whether to finish them or just cut my losses and get rid of them. This is one I will finish - it is so much closer to be being finished than I thought.

Circle Game

This has arrived and all I need do is organise myself to make them up. This is a BOM from Amitie. I love the broght colours and unexpected combination of colours and paterns. I promise I will post a picture as soon as they are made. 

Thank you for the Cup Cakes

Last week two of my lovely sewing friends came over to pend the day sewing. One of them (she knows who she is) made these fanastic Cup Cakes. Aren't they cute? Her daughter sourced the decorations, don't they make the cakes look lovely and festive.

Trees

How lovely is nature? I often think how lucky we are to live where we do and to witness some of the most magnificent views of nature in the bush. It was such a lovely morning for a walk up to the back of the block. Look at this:

A new project

What do you think about this? I reckon this might be fun!!! I have done a similar quilt with Sue Ambrose who works at Somerset Patchwork but the one I have completed previously is in a different colourway and I particularly liked this one on the cover of Quiltmania.

Children's Rose

How absolutely beautiful is this rose? My firend Michelle has this rose growing in her garden so when I saw it I was very keen to have one myself. What do you think?
