Well oldest kids quilt is now finished, and will soon be on its way down to her in the South Island.
Have got photo's taken, but need to find the lead, so I can upload them to the computer. Why is it when you put something away safe, you can never find it when you need it!!!
Anyways photo's will be here soon.

No I have not falling off the planet yet, but I have been busy sewing and quilting.
I have been doing a quilt for my oldest daughter. Have nearly got the quilting done on it and once it has got the binding on I will be able to get a photo of it and put it up for all to see.
I have no photo's of it yet as the pattern and fabric are a surprise, so you will all see it the same time she does.
I have got the last part of my goose tracks quilt cut out, just have to sew it all together on the machine once I have dug it out from under the pile of fabric hiding it.
Weatherman/lady says we have another cold snap heading our way again, so I thing I will just stay in the warm and sew for a few more weeks. When does summer start again?

Here is the finished quilt. I have now found out that the pattern is about 10 years old, and I had got all of the blocks put together and partly quilted.Well we all know about that thing called 'real life' well it got in the way so it got put to one side.
So don't worry even those UFO's we have deep down, way back in the back of the cupboard will sometime see the light of day again. OK might not be this year, but there's hope for them yet.

It has been FINISHED.....
The 8 year old UFO has now been turned into a quilt.
I had to take off the outer border as the backing had moved and I would not have been able to fit it. But it looks just as great without the small border as the binding was in the same fabric.
Photos to come once I have them downloaded from my camera.

Well I have finished quilting the blocks and now it is time for the binding.
I only had one problem and that was, I ran out of Cotton I was using to quilt the darker parts of the blocks, so the border has been left un-quilted.
Once I have it washed and finished I will post a photo of it here, until then, happy quilting :)
