A little Of This....

Earlier in January I needed to finish off a birthday present...

Two huge Swoon cushions... with pebble quilting...

 I've signed up for this... 100 blocks!!!!! 

they are only 6.5 x 6.5 and 2 a week...

 fingers crossed I keep up heehee

these are some of the fabrics I have chosen 

and 

I will be mixing them up with my stash... of course!

 at the moment I am working on this pattern for my my grandie Judd

he is about to go into a bigger bed

I was hiding inside today... the temp got to 44!!!

I checked the veggie patch out this evening and it is struggling big time,

tomorrow is meant to be 43 so it will be hotter probably!!!!!!

Birdie Stitches Finished...

Yep its done and dusted

all quilted and binding done

and 

I am very happy with the finish

drum roll..........

I am so glad I chose to finish it off with the orange

I quilted in the ditch everywhere first then

cross hatched the 2.5 inch squares...

This pattern was a free BOM on the Internet and can be found here

that's another one off my list... number 17 it was...

now to do a couple of mg rugs for Xmas presents

and then choose another off the list maybe??

A Few Things You Should Know...

The ''wonderful, kind, generous, awesomely talented, queen of fast'' 

Jan-Maree of Cherry Red Quilter 

has been tirelessly making quilts and laundry bags with her group of friends for the Aussie soldiers serving in Afghanistan... I myself have helped as well and she would love all our Aussie quilters to get involved if they wish to... Jan-Maree has started a blog about this project called ''Aussie Hero Quilts'' so go look and if you are interested in helping out jump in ''blocks, quilts, fabric or if you are living close to her maybe helping with the quilting or binding''... 

I can tell you the emails that Jan-Maree has been getting back from the soldiers is just wonderful... 

go look she what a wonderful job she and her band are doing...
