The goings on...

A couple of Sundays ago I spent a couple of hours at a local quilt show. Just a few that were showing. I voted for this one

This was a Deb Layt quilt... interesting. I am still trying to work out what it says.

This was beautiful

After the quilt show, I had to race over to DD1's house as this darling young man was having his first birthday party. Think Grampa blew out the candle. Cannot believe a whole year has passed us by already

This is a quilt that I was going to make for DH nephew but they wanted a grey quilt. Done that but this one is going to DD2's best friend for her wedding.This one makes me happy!

We were given 5 months worth of Dear Jane blocks to work on as our coordinator will be absent for the next 5 months. These are the March Blocks. Have done some of April but as we are off to sunny(?wet? humid) Queensland tomorrow to see DD2 I won't be doing any more just yet.

March Perpetually hexie

From this...

... to this. March's Perpetually hexie wreath. Really happy with this one and thanks to my friend Rosalie for providing the missing yellow. I now have all the backgrounds sewn together ( some triangles left over, and I was sure I counted them correctly!) so hopefully that will make it easier.

I have finished the Cherries and Chocolate quilt from Homespun ( designed by Michelle Ridgway) I aim to show it to her in person soon when we head off to Queensland to visit DD2.

Timeless tulips

Tis done. This is the block I started at Monsalvat. After a week of sewing... by hand... it is complete. I am quite happy with it and this will be made into a block holder when I get a moment.
