Welcome April! 

I like this quilt, not the colours but the pattern.

This is a Lynette Anderson pattern called : "Orange Tree Cushion" I finished this week as a sample for The Country Yard.

The back of the cushion.
And when I loaded the photo's I spotted my booboo..............take a look at the blue daisies..................

NO french knots!!!!!!!

 Now these are my Angel Story blocks so far....................

Pot plant Penelope

 

 

This was a very popular BOM a few years ago, designed by Annie Downs. I bought the book, a Jelly roll, charm pack & co coordinating fabrics. You won't see this finished any day soon, but I am enjoying stitching away in the evenings. The flowers in this block were meant to be just stitched daisies, but I wanted to try my hand at English daisies using wool felt.

  Again this block was meant to have stitched daisies, but I did some English daisies, I like the texture.
Last but not least a book finish for me.....................

Wishing you all a hopping good Easter!

Jelly Roll quilt and Marie Bostwick novel

my shadow!

When Kerry's Mum passed away her children wanted to get her fabric so she could make a quilt in memory of her Mum. So they popped along to The Country Yard as this is Kerry's 'local' . They bought a Jelly roll, sashing fabric and a pattern and gave it their Mum.
Pieced at a retreat last year and given to me before Christmas to quilt.( I had a big back log !)
I finished quilting yesterday and phoned Kerry to tell her her Mum's quilt was finished, turns out it would have been Kerry's Mum's birthday yesterday! I never knew, isn't the world a mysterious place sometimes.

 Kerry wanted me to quilt a similar style as this quilt. Hugs to you Kerry and I hope this quilt gives you warm thoughts of not only your Mum, but your thoughtful children also.

Second book in the series finished! I loved it and now have the third to read.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
I'm sure this will be a great year for much sewing and completions of UFO, flimsy's etc.



I have enjoyed reading a couple of books in the last few weeks I thought I would share as if you haven't read them I sure you would enjoy.
My friend Raewyn lent me this book and it is a must read for all quilting chicks!.....Thanks Raewyn.

What a great read this was. Easy reading, relaxing, a trip down memory lane of previous Elm Creek books and I nearly cried a couple of times.

I am looking forward to the last chapter in the Orca Bay Bonnie Hunter mystery, in between working on that I have been working on something that I can only give you a sneaky peaky of..........more later!
