FINITO!



At last my quilt from Leanne's house is finished, yay! I've called it 'Annie's Garden' I am really pleased with it. It's a great quilt for using up scraps. I only bought fabtric for the borders and backing apart from that it is all remnants and even better, because the pieces are quite small I used up quite a lot of fabric that I didn't particularly like and got away with it.

'To do' pile is a bit smaller again... I'm getting nearer and nearer to starting on my new stuff, can't wait.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

After being back at work a mere 3 days after his last injury; here are photo's of our latest disaster!!!!!!
The moral here is when your holding a fence post whilst your pal is hitting it with a sledge hammer, don't put your hand unexpectedly on top of it. Makes perfect sence to me, but it would seem not so to my little boy

Today I have been to my quilt group at Oswaldtwistle. I am a good way through doing a random sampler quilt. This photo is of a Feathered Star... it was a pig to do! My first one was so far out on the seams that I have had to completely redo it from scratch. I started this one yesterday and have been so particular with the cutting and piecing it's untrue. Even so, once I had assembled the nine blocks putting them together was far from easy. The picture doesn't do the lime green and black justice but I was so excited about sharing this achievement with you I couldn't wait for natural light to do a better photo.
