I made some Muffins today...yum!! These ones are bacon and cheese...tastes good with tomato and chilli chutney..I would have like to make some sweet ones...but we didn't have any chocolate chips!! I think I will get some tomorrow!!

Played my first games of netball in 13 years last night!! Ouch am I feeling it today...Played the full game too!! no-one would sub with me... I might have to go and review the rules...the unpire kept saying...."Wing Defence too close"... so I figured I was doing something wrong...LOL oh well!! I even had a little nap after school when I got home!! The kids are still being painful...only 6 days left before the holidays!! YEAH!!!

This is my cat Nikita...aka Noodle...she 'helps' me with a lot of things...including marking the Year 4's Maths sheets!!

While DH sleeps...I've been quilting...not much though... I get dizzy doing all the turns!! LOL I hope to have in finsihed in time to send to Luke for his 2nd birthday....maybe ;)

I forgot to post and thank Helen for the lovely blue blocks she sent me...I will put them with the others this arvo/tonight and see what they look like...I will need to trim them too...to 6" and then put them together...I have 35 blocks altogether....so 7 x 5 it will be...now for border colours...any suggestions???

I have made 229 hexagons so far...Here are some of them sewn together

I'm slowly adding pictures and more steps I finally put Luke's quilt together tonight....and thought I'd show you how I make a quilt... Decide on some colours and a pattern...I'm using a pattern from this book Here is the original quilt...(insert picture here) Lots of cutting later the blocks are ready to be sewen together... I lay them out sometimes and take a photo graph so I can remember what they look like...especially if I'm sewing more than one block at a time as I was in this case...they can easily be mixed up... Once all the blocks are made lay them all out to decide where each block goes...after changing it around half a dozen times you finally get one that you think looks right...and then change your mind one last time! Then slowly stitch them together keeping them in the right order.. Then you have a finished quilt top... Taping the backing fabric to the floor...it makes sure there are no wrinkles in it when I pin the top two layers to it...and it doesn...
