Oh boy!

Have you ever had that 'Why did I bother' day?

I did today. I wanted to finish block 2 of 'Breast of Friends' and I really shouldn't have tried. I am hopeless at maths and my apologies to my grade 10 maths teacher when I scoffed at her as she told me that I needed to know how to add up fractions because one day I might need them. Well today I needed to add up and nothing worked. I was sure I wasn't that dumb..........................HA!!! I am............lol With the help of Rose , a panic call to Pauline and an email to Homespun................................the block finally worked. Thanks to Roses good maths everything added up......................lol I took a deep breath and finished it. What should have taken 30mins to complete took me 2hrs. Oh well, here it is........

And here is block 1 with the borders.

After this I am going to stick to sewing clothes, dolls and bags................No more quilts........................hmmmm.

Enjoy your evening

this and that

Today's blog has no theme, just bits of this and that.

Lynette Anderson has asked 'what quilt is on our bed' and so I took a pic of little ones quilt, as she is the only one with a quilt on her bed. I made this for her when she was two. My first quilt. My only finished quilt too.........lol.

I have made a little outfit for Grace. She is such a cute doll. Little one named her. She has had Grace for 5yrs and still loves her. The pattern I used is 'kwik sew'

Little one decided to do some washing for her family of babies.

The following pics are of my second eldest son's art work. Just thought I would share it with you.

Off to finish block two of 'Breast of Friends'. Need to start on block 3.

Block one

I have finished the stitching and applique on the first block of Breast of Friends. I had hoped to have the border done today but ended up being out all day.

And this little fellow popped in to say hi, so we rescued him and placed him on the roses. Isn't he cute.

That's it today

Deadline met

I decided at the start of the school holidays, I was going to re-do little ones bedroom, before school went back, so she had a reading corner. Well I did it last night and finished making two cushions and a beanbag at 6pm tonight. I only just made it, She goes back to school tomorrow, I added two new shelving units to her room and moved alot of stuff around but I am happy with the outcome. She stayed away last night so I was able to move things around without her complaining. She was wrapped with it.

Double Delight

Well I started the double delight quilt and made two squares. I got bored and made two cushions. Still a double delight, just not a quilt..........hehehe

No pics

We have a new computer. About time......................But now I have to get everything off the old one on to the new one. I feel a headache coming on........................ I may not be around for a while. If you don't hear from me it is probably because I haven't got you all in my favourites yet. My apologies. I will be back in blog land in a couple of weeks. I will be lurking though around the blogs I can remember.................lol
