another top for the quilting pile!!


My whirlwind scrap quilt is together and has been added to the other 2 quilt tops on the quilting pile. Now to move on to some more finishes. I have one top waiting for the borders to be added, 2 piles of completed blocks to be turned into quilt tops and even more blocks for 2 further quilts somewhere down the line. Of course I haven't mentioned all the part completed small projects!!  No doubt just like the rest of you I have no shortage of projects I can work on. The biggest challenge is time!!

A small project



What is it

All is revealed

This is a small project I managed to complete over the weekend in between the big project - Wallpapering. The room is all papered now and looks great. Just some painting to complete and new curtains to be made. I have volunteered the curtain making and will happily let Brian do the painting!!

This Better Work

This is very much a trial and error post using a different browser so let's see what happens here.  Now to look for a photo to post with it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moving right along, let me see if I can add a second photo ... if this works then Kerry I will tell you what I tried different (under Raewyn's tutelage of course!!)
Okay Kerry if this works then I changed my browser and used Google Chrome!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Sorry the pictures are boring, old and reasonably uninformative)

Just to see if I can do a post from my end

Seems to work fine. Not sure what is happening for you gals that are having trouble.
 This is a wee raggy quilt made from the leftover 5" squares from my Angel story quilt. I bought the book, a Jelly Roll, charm pack & some fat 1/4's to make the quilt. I won't win any prizes for the photo. It measures a whopping 25" square.........yes 25" square............huge aye! i'm sure it will look cute as a table throw or something.

Good luck bloggers!

A finish



My retreat quilt all finished and I am very happy with it. It brings lots of memories of our time in London for our daughter's wedding as that is where and when I bought the material. Don't look too closely at the quilting Leeanne. I promise I am improving and after Saturday's great class I am on a roll, that is until I come to the feathers in the latest Birdy Love block!!

As you can see Raewyn I have 'cracked the code'. In my case it was my settings in windows 8. I don't know enough about computer land to know exactly what I did but hey it is WORKING!! Thanks for all your help.

Winnie Twins

Still struggling with this blog ... but here are the two Winnie's that came to stay at our house.
One can be found nestled amongst the fabric in the store!  The other is hanging at home, sharing the warmth of the fire in the living room!!  I cannot load more than one photo so blogger is still frustrating me!!  Hope you are all keeping warm and dry and stitching up a storm on this rather wild and wet day?  Hugs x
