Time fly's when you have quilting to do and family commitments.............



One week has passed since my last confession blog post but much has happened, the quilts keep coming (so very lucky and grateful am I) the rain keeps coming also, although we did get a small replenishment of sunshine today, but alas more rain is hunkering down! Time with family has been a must as my dear old Mum is not 100%. That has had me away from home.
I have several quilts finished that are waiting for their trip home. Facebook followers will see snippets from time to time. There is the ninepatch, the shappy chic quilts and the much watched and asked about Crinoline Ladies................wow I have been so amazed at how many views there has been on Facebook for that quilt.
One quilt I can show you is Rachel's ABC quilt, quilted and handed back!

 
Rachel usually hand quilts her quilts, but every now and then she hands one over to me. This little cutie was made for her classroom. Rachel asked me quilt simply with stipple but no ditch stitching around the applique's. The backing is a lovely soft red flannel.

Yesterday and today I played with and managed to complete my next 'round' of The Country Yards Tuesday Mystery Medallion. I have been thoroughly enjoying timeout to just play. Here's a peek of what I did..........not all of it mind you!



                           Just to prove we had some sunshine here is Simon soaking it all up.


                                              And just because....................................

  11. Do hope you mum is on the mend. Rain! Don't tell me about RAIN! Ok tell me about it, we have had our quota down here. As luck would have it I managed to get some sunshine like Simon, mind you I wasn't lying on the floor in it.
