I've only started one Christmas project so far...I hope to get a few done...This is a squeeze project...ie squeeze it in when you can!! A wall hanging for DH's Nana

Thought I'd put the ideas out there for the Mystery Quilt I will be running in the new year...just in case you want to start the fabric search early. You will need about a metre of each, but I will be giving out more accurate quantities later. I have a few fabric samples...here is the first one. A feature print a light tone-on-tone print A medium small scale print A dark fabric Another Fabric sample here

After a few hours organising I can once again see the floor in our study/sewing room. A lot of it was work related but there was quilting things mixed in too. I washed and ironed all the lovely new fabric I had hanging around after another trip to Spotlight yesterday so it is ready to go when I get the chance. Also had a marathon Scrapbooking afternoon with my SIL yesterday...she got a lot done with my help...I did do 7 pages last weekend though so that should do me for now...I have a lot to do next year if I want to finish Mum's 50th album in time!! Only 5 more weeks of school left...I can't wait!!

It's been a while...but here is one for this week It's all in the family...so here is a photo for my mum in the family way. Here she is 7 months pregant with me! By the look fo the background it was taken in my great- grandparents front yard. July 1980 And next week I get to pick the topic...thanks Three Buttons !! I started off wondering what on earth I could pick...but a quick flick through the photo box and now I have heaps...will have to narrow it down a bit!!

I am very happy at announce that my doll quilt finally arrived at Joy's house. She took some gorgeous photos of Austy and the Teddies playing with the quilt..so I hope she doesn't mind me sharing...SOOOOO glad you like it Joy!! Quilty cuddles Benji and his quilt Teddy Bears Picnic Back...Michael Miller Spots

And as promised I've made something out of the books I got for my birthday...these ones are Peanut Butter Choc Chip and they are yum!! Had to stop DH from eating them while the cooled so I would have enough for a photo....

For months now...well two actually... these quilts have been in the making...and look at the lovely results...they will hopefully be soon posted here if your interested in having a look at some of the others....now on to mine The lovely Lily sent me this beautiful hand quilted Doll quilt... I love the floral print fabric...I have something similar in blues I think... and it goes perfectly with the beautiful plum colour that it is alternated with. Front Back A blurry close up of the hand stitching...will take a better one soon...
