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.

Well I have part one done of the BoM. Now just how long do we have to wait till the next part comes out???? You know a girl can get real bad with drawl symptoms by having to wait so long between parts. I will just have to find something else to do, like jam making.

I have got my fabric to do this years BOM from http://burningthemidnightoilquilts.com/block-of-the-month-quilt/ . I am looking forward to doing it, I enjoyed doing the last one, but have still to hand sew on the tulips.

IT HAS GOT HERE AT LAST.

My Christmas stocking decided to take the long way round to get to me, but it has got here at last, and it has been worth waiting for.

It is a stocking that is reversible and has abbots on the top of it.

It was full of loverly things, 100 needles for all my needs, a hand made needles case to keep them all in and a handmade thimble.

There is also a quilt journal for me to record all my finished quilts and any ufo's I will get finished.

A little booklet of postcards, a bookmark from Sisters outdoor quilt show, some quilters tool ID tags, a Mapleleaf quilt guild pin/badge,and a nail file with quilt blocks on one side and the name of the shop on the other.

The fabric is great ,we do not get much Halloween fabrics here so I asked for some on my wish list. There is a full metre of one and 3 FQ's and also 3 labels for the back of my quilts.

I can not thank "Aunty" enough for my loverly stocking.
