Today was our second week exchange, for our round robin blocks. This is what I had done to Shirley's original block. They are 1" squares, and I have set the block on point. Pat now has this block. These were the other blocks. Shirley added a lovely mauve border to Pats, Pat added the lovely pastel stripes to Margaret's hexagon block, Margaret added the triangles and diamonds to Kate's block.
Rosemary added the lovely sashing to my block.

In this photo you can see the flying geese that Kate added to Rosemary's block
This really is proving to be fun, but it will be hard work as the quilt gets bigger!!

Watch this space.

I want to reassure anyone who checked out my last post, that this was Honey enjoying the sun, and snoozing in my sewing room a few days ago, and not after she had been put to sleep. I did not think of how it looked when I put it on the blog, until my hubby pointed it out. I hope I did not offend anyone.

My little Honeybunch had to be put to sleep last night. She was suffering so much RIP my little angel. You were my best friend.

We had a great day on Wednesday, as we have another challenge. We are going to do a round robin.The only rules are-there are no rules! The challenge is going to be to make sure we do not get the same block twice. LOL. I received this lovely block from Shirley, I have already started to add my mark. Look out Shirley:-)
This was my teeny block, which has gone to Rosemary, more of that lovely pattiserie fabric!

Here is the birthday cake that my artistic friend Kate made for Pat, Rosemary and I. (I am the one in the middle, nice and cosy.)

These were all the blocks. Margaret made the stunning tumbling blocks, a hexagonal challege for Pat. Pat made the lovely lilac star block, a yummy challenge for Shirley. Rosemary made the lovely subtle green blocks, certainly a challenge for Kate who likes zingy colours. Kate has done the seven sisters block with 6 sisters as there are six of us, another hexagonal challenge. The others are Shirleys and, yours truly, of course, this is very exciting.

Watch this space!

Well I have had a wonderful week. Sunshine in the garden

Daffodils from my friend Jackie.

Flowers from my son, that was a suprise!

My Mum Dad and my daughter, on my birthday. Thanks everyonexx

Sorry folks, have been really bad at posting, have had family, friends and housework to deal with, and visitors again this weekend, so this is a quick catchup.






Here is my work in progress, I am knitting for a change, I hope to reveal all soon.





I made these new clean tea towels to go with my new toy. I used some strips left over from my baguette bag. I think they are lovely. Too nice to use.

Thanks to all my wonderful friends at quilt group for these lovely goodies, for my birthday, what a wonderful group of ladies. Thank you, thank you.

Here is a picture of my new cooker, it feels like forever since I've been able to cook properly. Hope I can always keep it this shiney!!

Hope to catchup with a couple of finished things soon

Here is a picture of my "girls" posing for the camera.
Honey is not too bad at the moment, in fact she looks quite sparky in this photo.

Guilty, guilty, guilty.

Have not managed to post in ages, but have been working some!

Have taken a photo of my (nearly ) finished Apple County challenge, as otherwise I will just leave it until it is completely finished, and who knows when that will be?

I have decided to keep the quilting simple, and just free motioned a few apples around the edge.

Made a bit of a booboo, by using embroidery thread, because it matched, and have had to do some unsewing in places, but the binding just needs stitching down. by the way I do know my photography leaves a lot to be desired!!

My February must finishes are :

Challenge quilt

Inklingo sampler blocks, at least 2

Hexagon quilt insanity, 1 row

Start Mckenna Ryan block, (that slipped in somehow!)

Dye more fabric.

Not bad considering February is half over LOL
