Now what do you do when you get a kit of precut sqs and have to make a quilt out of them???

Watch this space and you will find out how I get on.

Well the rain has got here, but it is still very muggy and warm. But at least my plants will have a very good drink which I know some needed very much. Using the hose to water them every night becomes a bit of a boring job after a while.

Well I have got part 2 of the BOM done, when the quilt is finished the sqs will be on point and not like in the photo.

Now all I have to do is wait till 15th of next month for part 3.

This quilt top was one I made for my mum a few years ago.
It was quilted for me using invisable thread and a wool batting.
Well to make long story short, it got washed on a wool setting hung on the line to dry with a note saying 'DO NOT put in dryer'
Well you guessed it someone put it in the dryer so the invisable thread shank, so I got the lovely job of frog sewing it.
This quilt will be called 'From NZ with love' as it has NZ flowers on it.





Well my bingo winnings will be going to a good home, my local quilt shop is having a quiltathon to make quilts for the fire victims, so that this top that just needs a border put on it, will be soon finding a new home over in Oz.


The quilt is called 'bingo!' but it will have a note with it saying how the fabric for it was acquired.
