Traditional Nine Patch swap

Nothing like leaving it till the last minute.....here's my 14 nine patches for the February Traditional Nine Patch Swap....

Two Custom's Done.

I got to finish two large custom's this week with NO time for anything else....

A wedding ring quilt which took AGES !!!!!

The back of a lovely needle turn quilt ...I used Keryn Emmersons "Bella Feather" with some hand guided outlining and background fill.

My signs were put up at the factory bay...Im really happy with them...

Hoping for a dry week...we have had SO much rain.

This week...

This week saw a mixture of things completed........

This one is another of the cot quilts I am making to sell...I have used some of Naomi's hand dyed fabric from "Stitches and Spice"...love the colour...it's called "Cosmos".

I have used Keryn Emmerson's design "Windy Night"
Completed a semi-custom...with a new pattern for me from Joanne Knott..."Fancy Cable"

Hopefully made a little girl happy with "Angel Wings" on her quilt....

NEARLY finished a custom using Keryn Emmerson's "Bella Feather" triangle design....LOVE it...

Am still managing to keep the display area tidy...not sure how long to give myself before the usual chaos takes over....the view out my door as I left yesterday...am loving the new location...

My mission this week is to complete my blocks for the traditional nine patch swap that I have joined......got my fabrics from "Blueberries"at north Wyong...such a shame that I had to go fabric shopping...

Have a great week

Settled in...

I have settled into the "new shed"..and actually managed to finish something...

The kids are back at school...Miss Beth celebrated her 12th birthday this week...luckily the first time in a long time that she hasn't been going back to school on her actual birthday......the big year 7 this year!!! Mister James is in year 9. I figure I'm allowed a few grey hairs now...time has gone by SO quick.

We always make "Ma's chocolate cake" (my mum)  for ANY birthday......very yummy....

I travelled down to Sydney on Friday for the first Friday Showcase of the year at the NSW Quilters Guild. It is held on the first Friday of most months. This months guest quilter was Lynn Hewitt....love Lynn...loved the "journey" of her quilting that she took us on. I will be part of the 3 person team organising the Friday Showcase...I am enjoying being involved so far..

Have a great week
