It's Sunday

Well as you can see, I have pulled out some fabrics to start "Down in the Garden". Not only that but I have started on the first block. I should have been cleaning up, but starting that was far more fun.
The other thing that I did today was go to the movies with Mark. We went to see Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock. I HIGHLY recommend it. A real "feel good" movie that is based on a true story. I believe there is a book out so I might try and find it.
Well since I am being the good little wife, I've cooked a roast for dinner, I had better go and dish up.
So until next time,
Lynne

A new project

I have just come home from a wonderful afternoon spent with Ann-Maree at Primitive Patches. How lucky am I to have a Best Friend that owns a Patchwork shop. (You would still be my best friend Ann-Maree, even without the shop.) I chose fabric for a quilt for my darling husband, Mark. He is an avid St. Kilda fan (he is watching the game as I "speak") so of course I chose black, white and red. Sounds like St. Kilda just won there game. The shouting and clapping is a dead giveaway. Any way, Mark is going hiking next week-end, so I will try and get it made then.
Leanne's House block of the month, Down In The Garden, also came in this week. We saw it at Quilt Mart last year, and I just loved it. It reminds me of Dee, my amazing daughter who passed away in December 2008, so this is going to be my therapy quilt.
I will pull fabric out for that tomorrow and show you Block 1.
O.K. Time to tidy my sewing room, ready for more sewing.
Until tomorrow,
Lynne

I'm Back

I knew that I should have started this blog at the end of the month.
I had to get these 2 bags finished by the end of February and they are FINALLY done.
I may be teaching these at AQA's syposium in September.
Time will tell.

In the meantime,I am working on new designs for cot quilts this term.
I have finished my boy design and am working on my girl design. will post photo's soon.
Well now that I have spent the night learning how to post images, I'm off to bed and will try more tomorrow.
Stay tuned. Lynne
