VERY SORRY

I have not been on here in months.
I've been really busy with family/life in general.
Keeping up with my own personal blog has taken priority over this one.
I hope to come back and do some reading if nothing else soon.

Until then, I want to share a funny thing I just read on a friend's blog :

To Create a Stash ...
by Carol Coski, The Quilted Feather

1. Buy fabrics that you like
2. Buy enough to do anything you might potentially think you want to do with it
3. Buy a little more because you know by the time you use it, what you have won't be enough and you will need more
4. Buy patterns and colors you know your family will simply love
5. Always buy extra
6. Did I mention to buy more than you think you will need?
7. Sit down every so often with your fabric, and assess what colors/patterns/designs you need to compliment and contrast what you already have
8. Buy the contrasting fabrics
9. Buy the coordinating fabrics
10. Buy extra of all of them, because when you sit down to piece you still won't have enough
11. Always buy enough backing fabric to back a California-king-all-the-way-to-the-floor bed quilt
12. Add a little more to that backing estimate
13. Use backing fabrics that can be integrated into other quilt tops
14. Buy a little more to make sure you will have useable pieces
15. If you see a design you think you might like in the future, buy it now before it disappears forever
16. Buy a little more just to be sure you have enough for what you haven't decided to make yet (I think this one is my favorite! Just sums up the whole thing!)17. Repeat above steps until there is no room left in the house for the inhabitants
18. Buy another house and repeat above

I think it's hilarious.  

Have a wonderful Day Girls.

Number 2 for 2014

Here is a second finish from me. This started as a NewFO last month so it was a quick finish but nevertheless......a finish is a finish

To read more about this project, you can click HERE.  I would love you to come over for a visit.

Another month has ended??? How???

I am so impressed. 

April has come to an end and I have managed some more projects.  

None of them qualify for Sew its finished as none of them were 'old'.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has finshed.

My 7th Finish..

The finish I have for this month I found tucked away in a ”Christmas” edition of a Handmade Magazine…








I do like this Little Christmas Tree……..

They are a great idea....clever you!

I told you

...I was going to have a early finish, and I did even if I haven't written a post about it here until now.
Anyway, I'm so very pleased with this table runner in a garden fence pattern.

A wallhanging done.....

Some time ago a friend gave me a flimsy that she had made and, for some strange reason, didn't want anymore....

I added the blue border and then used it to practice some quilting... tighter than I usually do so the wallhanging is quite firm

It's one of the UFO's that has been lingering in the cupboard... 

I did different shapes.... little orange peel type on the vase...

... and swirls in the background....

... a kind of paisley shape in the flowers ....

this week I put the final stitches on the binding.....

Righto, Gotto Go.... I still seem to have a heap of UFO's!!!
