a break from quilting

Over coffee this afternoon I read about the Hottie Project...............well what's a girl to do?


Lisa over at Big Little posted about making hottie covers for the cold kidlets in Christchurch. So I just had a rummage through my fabrics & found the cute creamy, ever soooo soft polar fleece with sheep on it. I think this is what I used last year when I made some.




Any how sister's if you can manage dropping what you are doing & whipping up one, two or twenty if you please!

Back to quilting!

A rainy day and a mini retreat!

And wahoo one quilt top completed.

 
and also the first of my Patchwork of the Crosses block. Only another 55 to go!! How many years will this take? Kerryn and Raewyn you will probably wonder what I am on about. This is my new (long term) project. How many is that now? Will bring the book to our next SS get together for you both to see.

Home Again

Wow so many posts on this blog ... well done!!

We missed our SS outing last Wednesday night but did send some thoughts your way amidst all our excitement ... or probably by then exhaustion!!

Looking forward to seeing you all again and catching up with what you have been doing in our absence ... was it really only one week we were away it seems like months.

My bed was so comfy to crawl into last night, and I am sure Raewyn felt the same.

Hugs xx

Hello Ladies thanks for tonight was awsome. I made myself a milo when I got home, sat down and redid my sample sister passwords etc and managed to get myself back into the blog so hopefully next time I go in it will work. Will try out the photo thing next time

Birthday Bag

Had lunch with the birthday girl today...she loved the bag, just needs some buttons on the corners and then she can have it back!! Terrible photos but you get the idea.
