Hi All,
I unfortunately have had some major computer malfunctions occur meaning I will not be able to update for a while. This is terrible timing as I have a few things on the go which are nearly reaching completion (or at least photo/blog completion) including my blocks for the Block-A-Long, and a quilt I plan on entering into the Ekka. And the thought of living without the Internet is just.... scary.
I will hopefully be back in no time, a little bit poorer and with a more regular updating schedule soon.
See you on the other side
Melanie

9 Patching all over again
I had almost 50 blocks made for the Block a Day Quilt Along when disaster stuck - I hated them all! But all is ok, after looking at some other people's blocks I decided that I would do something completely different with them. Out came the unpicker!
And now I have this lovely box full of 2.5" squares.
So to catch up with everyone else, I started making these (which I am liking a whole lot more than the last lot). I have used 18 different yarn dyed woven plaids and checks and I have 36 already assembled and the makings for about another 50. So I am still a little behind but I will be catching up shortly!

Freshcut
Well I promised pictures and here you go.
Yesterday this was all still a bunch of 4.5 inch squares, now here it is up on my design wall waiting for the blocks to be sewn together.
I'm hoping to get it done later tonight, but at the moment I have started thinking about borders and started piecing the back. I would have liked to have used either the pink or peach coloured flower for the border, but it seems to be the only one I don't have any more of! So it's going to have to be green/blue.

Congratulations!
Just a quick post to say Congratulations! to Helen who is the lucky winner of my Sewn fabric giveaway.
Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to all the other winners!
I have been doing a lot of hand piecing over the past couple of weeks which is very slow and therefore not good for updating, but I finally have a little bit done to show! But you will have to wait for a sunny day that I am not working so that I can take some photo's!
