The need to share exciting news this week is strong: I sold TWO quilts from my shop!!

Whenever a sale occurs I'm soooo darn happy I could dance!

I love to think a baby, newly weds or someone's friend is wrapped in one of the quilts I made.

They are all made with love, because I LOVE making quilts - have I mentioned that before? 

What an incredible long lasting gift a quilt makes.

These are the two I sold this week:

I have many more quilts available in my shop if you are looking for a special gift. 

It could well become a family heirloom.

Last weekend I loaded up some backing fabric to accommodate some beautiful olive green

 satin I purchased from an OpShop.

 I wanted to quilt table runners & Christmas stockings. Once I'd quilted up all the satin I still had backing fabric space, so the 'waste-not-want-not' me HAD to keep adding more bits of fabric & keep quilting until it was all used up.

 Three days of quilting & all the backing fabric was used up with all sorts of quilted pieces! Here is a short video of me unloading the l-o-n-g quilted piece!

 Below is a photo of the finished stockings I made. They are for sale (not listed in my shop yet).

When I finish making up the other quilted pieces I will share photos with you all. 😁

I did put some fun videos on my Instagram page.

I recently finished reading this book, such a wonderful read.

 Kristin Hannah is fast becoming my favourite author.
