Not Much Blogging

I think over  a month must be a record for me - I do so want to keep blogging and the will is there but I don't have a computer at home and I don't have any photos at work - so unless I continue with a photo free blog I am a bit stuck. I am still very disappointed that my Ipad is so useless at blogging as it is now the place that holds all of my photos! Any way I have been sewing but not quilting - I made myself a dress for a big party - that I did not end up wearing and may turn into a top and I have been completing the embroidery project that I started in 1983 in time for my Mother's 80th in December - still a lot of background to go but I am determined to get if finished. It is a variation on this classic William Morris Bird and Pomegranate and I will be very happy when it is finished. Even I think that 28 years is a very long time to have a WIP!!!

Stacked up

I recently bought Block Party and have been keen for a while to begin to make a dent in my scraps. And this books is such a treasure for scrap busting that once I have completed my Swoon quilt I know what I wanted to do.

Swooned Out

After lots of grumbles and %^$%&*&^ I have finished my lovely swoon quilt for Gina - it is such a loveley pattern adn I am sure it is one I am sure do again

Guess what?

Spring has sprung in Adelaide - yeah!!!!

Zoom to Swoon

Have completed all eight Swoon blocks in red and black and gosh they look good - very wonky as I am not an exact quilter - but I am happy with them and the pattern really is amazing as it looks so different depending on what your fabric choice is.

A sad place

Theresa said to me recently that her blog was a happy place and I absolutely agree - but this most recent quilt is from a sad place - I made this quilt for my darling brother James. It is my quilt for him

The best spot

I was thinking that I needed another red patterned fabric for my latest G project and look what I found at Umbrella Prints.
So lovely. So red.
