Not much happened in the way of sewing this week ... sigh ....

My easy angle ruler arrived - very fast service from
http://www.ozquilts.com.au/

so as soon as some things are caught up with - nothing to do with patchwork ;-))
I'll be cutting clue #2 of the orange crush.

Decided to show a photo of the saying that hangs in our bedroom - say's it all really.
The other photo is of a small quilt I made for my DGD Sarah who was born in 1990, made it the week before she was born - was convinced the baby would be a boy!!

Recently when I was at their house I noticed that Sarah still had the quilt in use!!
Made from poly cottons because that is what was available here at the time.
She still has her cot quilt as well.
It is such a blessing to be able to make and gift things which are both well used and treasured by their new owners.

On another note - as of last night I have a roomie to share with in Perth - welcome to my mad world Anne, hopefully we will have fun!!
My siggies are under way ...

butterfly round robin

The third border is on!!!

Think will make this a little larger so that it would better fit a cot, then it will be on hand ready to bless a newborn baby girl ... there will be one at some time in the future .. grin

Will dye some fabric on the weekend to continue on with the project.

Visited a thrift shop today and bought some more garments today so hopefully the bargello will soon be a top.

Had a 'funny' experience last night as we were watching cricket - India v Australia in a one day game, and suddenly noticed the numbers on the players' caps - I have never seen them before!!!

I knew from listening to radio broadcasts that they were there but I thought they must be miniscule as I could not see them ...

The joys of modern eye surgery .... yay!!!!!

bblocks for Noah's quilt

Laid out some of the blocks today for Noah's baby quilt - wondering now whether to do some blocks in yellows with the dolphin print to mix in with the blues ... any suggestions?
