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!!!!!

round robin

Managed to get the second border on my stay at home round robin, just the one more border to add - then what to do with it?

Any ideas?

must admit to being pleased that it used a leftover block and all the fabrics came from stash.

dusappearing 9 patches

As there has been talk of dissapearing nine patches online thought I would post my example.
The birdhouse print was used in the corners and a small print in green for the centre with the other 4 squares being a brown colour which is a hand dye fabric.
Currently hand quilting this quilt, calling it "Home Tweet Home"
At the moment it is full of safety pins - makes me feel like a punk .. grin

A W.I.P.

hmmmm.. my plans for posting *something* each day have gone awry.

My camera has dead batteries as well so this is a pic of a giraffe applique I'm stitching down to make a cushion for a giraffe loving grand daughter. The background fabric is one of my hand dyes.

We are at our own little cottage just now, just hubby and me, every thing is very dry, another extremely hot day today so will have to make sure we keep the water intake up, promise of a cooler day tomorrow so if we get through today we will be fine - going back to Trevors tomorrow.

A high bushfire risk today and I didn't manage to get all the dry grass cut down so will hope there are no arsonists around about.

My friend Lisa has found this blog and as she had reminded me of a lilac quilt I'm making for a niece I'll dig it out of it's bag today and see how much more needs to be done, take it back to Trevor's with us and work on finishing it there so it can go to Lisa and Roy's Blackbird Quiltery they have a wonderful flair of adding special quilting on my tops.

Together they transform the humdrum to the stunning.
