Some flannel sewn together....

Flannel blocks sewn on the weekend. 

. 

Few more needed then I can make 18 inch block. 

Need 16 to make the pattern, making a 72 inch square. 

Have to buy more fabric to make it large enough for a queen sized bed. 

Thinking 7 x 5. Will know more when I make some blocks. 

Great day to....

Pick up the girls after their holiday with my parents. I also went for a few days but they stayed longer.

Go for a look in the shops at Boorowa, the patchwork shop was closed. Probably a good thing!

Get together with a couple of ladies at Nellies Patchwork. Talia was home unpacking and Bridie went with her father for the night.

Cut up lots more flannel pieces for my quilt. I need 40 pieces for each 18inch block. I have cut all the 7 1/2, 6 1/2 and 5 1/2 inch lengths.

Spend the night at home alone. Talia ended sleeping going to her friends suppose two weeks away was long enough.

Start sewing my May Stitch a long project, organise some threads and work on my Girls Day Out blocks 2&3.

I am going to sew the green for this block tonight as I catch up with my recorded shows.

New patchwork quilt

This past weekend I took advantage of the 40% off sale at Nellies.

I bought some flannel fabric. I need a flannel quilt for me!

I decided the pattern in Book 3 of Vignette was the one I wanted to use.

I have seen one block.
I have cut out another one.
I have also cut the 3 1/2 inch squares.

I am going to have to buy more fabric as I didn't get enough for the top.

I am back....

The past 3 days have been exciting as aournd 25 of us were trained to become facilitators in rolling out First Steps in Mathematics to the schools in our diocese.

One gorgeous lady was selling tickets for a Mother's Day raffle for her school.  She is the principal of the school I was teaching at before I headed in to work at the Catholic Education Office.  The quilt was made by her in a gorgeous flannel.  I am going to hunt down the pattern as it is gorgeous, that is only if I don't win the raffle.  For 11 years I have been buying tickets in the raffle and have not been lucky enough to win, hope this is the year.

These pictures show parts of the quilt.  I love it... would keep me warm on a cold winter night.

Did the mad dash after work, well I finished a little earlier so I good complete the mad dash.

I ran over and gave Bridie her bag of clothes to take to her friends for the nights sleep over, she is back in the morning with her friend.

I came home got Candice and Talia, Candice got in the drivers seat (that is a win!).  She drove and we dropped Talia off at dancing then headed in to McDonald's to grab a coffee before we set off.

Candice then drove over to Parkes, NSW and out 10 kms to go to her friends and get ready for Lara's deb.  Then I drove home.  Was told I was late picking up Talia from dancing! I was only ten minutes but I suppose when it is dark it is late.

We then headed over to buy some fresh salmon and salad for tea, yummo.

So now tea is all done I am going to get my sewing out and attempt to complete some hexagon stitching, I know I was going to do my Down in the Garden block but there is always tomorrow.

Until next time....
