Thanks Emma...today when I got home there was a package waiting for me...I didn't notice it til after we got back from walking Jester...because of course DH was NOT excited by squishy mail and therefore didn't tell me straight away!!! While in the process of a new quilt Emma has kindly cut me 199 new fabric squares to make some more hexagons...!! They have made a lovely rainbow of colours and will definitely be put to good use.

Well I made it to the end of the month...I only had to fudge a few dates... To celebrate I'm doing a table runner give-a-way ..with some other goodies thrown in too!!! If you comment here on this post, then you're in the draw...and every other comment you have left on my blog in the month of May is a bonus entry!! So really you could have 31 entries!! WOW!! lol I'm finishing off the table runner tonight so will add a picture tomorrow. You have until Thursday the 5th of June to enter and I'll do the draw on Friday. Good Luck!! Here is a WIP picture....

We had a family night tonight...a bit strange on a week night and made me very tired for school but oh well doesn't happen very often. DH cooked some BBQ meat and corn-on-the-cob YUM!!! Then the boys decided to whip our butts at cards...mind you we were under a handicap with Nic never playing the game before....We'll beat them next time!! Little Bam Bam came to visit again...check out how much he has grown!!! The photo is actually from Saturday...but so cute I couldn't resist!!

Noodle decided to help me with my work tonight. After sitting on the mouse to makeit more difficult she then attacked the pencils and pens I was writing with. Here she is proof reading my report for me...

I remember the last Indy movie I went and saw, for my brothers 10th Birthday, while on holidays in Carins, in 1989!! Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade I remember jumping at all the scary parts and thinking it was strange that the yucky gold cup was the right one!! Don't actually remember much of the story line!! I didn't mind the new movie...it was very entertaining...but not really my style...I bit too Si-Fi for me.

In honour of my In-laws visiting this week I thought I would finally post a picture of the quilt I made for them for their wedding present....although the wedding was back in October 2006 I finally had this professionally quilt for $289 (including backing and wadding) and ready to deliver in April this year.... It is now proudly displayed in their bedroom...waiting for me to make some matching pillow cases I think!! Might have them done before the 10th wedding anniversary!! Lyn chose the colours and the design from one of my quilting magazines...not one that had a pattern though so I had to make up the measurements my self. I used a Fibinacci set of numbers, where each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers of the sequence itself. It supposedly makes for a very balanced quilt according to the magazine where I got the sets of numbers, as they apply to quilting. What you actually thought I was going to work out the numbers myself!!??!! I do love numbers though...

I've been feeling a bit 'fabric blue' lately....everyone else seems to be buying up these wonderful bargins left right and centre and I've got none...:( and nore can I afford any with IVF payments and so forth.... I know I had more fabric lying around here somewhere and sure enough when I went looking I found a nice big bag full in the laundry waiting to be washed...and so wash and iron it I did.... 40 metres of it!! Opps now I'm not feeling so fabric poor...admittedly most of it is to finish quilt tops that have already been started...so that doesn't count right?? And then I went the whole hog and cleaned up the sewing area and stash...this is all that a have of sewing stuff... I think..?!?
