Here is a photo of a block in a mystery quilt I did back in 2003/4. It was done the hard way without useing the new xblocks that we were talking about in #quiltchat.

Ok girls here is the quilt I have been working on that took 3 months to baiste and only 1 month to quilt. (Do not ask why it took so long to baiste lol)
the only thing left to do on it, is the binding, which I will have to go to the fabric shop and buy.
It is a 21st present for my stepson.

Ok well the quilt I am quilting is nearly finished, just have to do 1/4 of the quilting and then the binding.
Will be able to take photo's as soon as it is finished.
I just wish it was cooler, as trying to hand quilt in the warm summer is just a little to hot.

Well I had a little holiday over in Australia with my lovely husband and while we were there we saw this rainbow around the sun one day.

My camera has a red filter on it so I could take the photo and get the rainbow to show up. Without it I just got a plain pale blue sky.

The sun is just behind the roof of the house so I did not look directly into it. It was a fun but short trip very kindly paid for by my Mum.

Before real life stuck its ugly head in, I was making stars for a quilt from Planet patchwork.
I have some halloween fabrics that I wanted to use up so I decided to make this quilt in blacks and yellows shading to orange-red. It will be a little scrappy in a way as I am trying to use fabrics I have in my stash, but you know I will just have to get some more fabric for the borders.
Well I know it has been a while but a lot has been going on in real life that has stopped me from writing.
We had my mother in laws funeral to sort out and deal with and then I had a bad reaction to some meds I had been given. After a week I am slowly back to normal (what ever that was befor)

Here is a quilt I made for my mother in law for Mother's Day 2005.

It is just a simple pattern made with fabric I had been given as a thankyou for something I had done for another person. She would put it on the bed with the back showing as she said she liked the back fabric better than the 'busy' front.

Sadly to say she passed away on 14th February 2008 but her quilt will not go to waste as we will pass it onto one of her meny brothers and sisters that are still living.

The quilt will be used at her funeral to cover her coffin during the service.
