playtime, recharge time.............................



I must say it is nice to have a bit of time to work on some of my stuff. I still have plenty of quilts from customers, with more coming, but life, well a happy one is about balance right?
First are my Dresden Plates............................

grapefruit free to a good home!

This is a L O N G term project with no time line, just making for the pure pleasure! I love English paper piecing, I know there are many other methods, much quicker methods, eg; the wedge stitched on the machine, the glue stick etc, etc. But this is my choice of method as I find it very relaxing. I am unsure what fabric to use for the centre circles ???
Here is an earlier photo...............................



Also I have been working on a BOM for the shop


All I can say is yummy pattern, yummy fabrics!!!

I have washed a few quilts, weather permitting, it has been rain, sun, rain & heaps of humidity here in Northland!

Now Christmas is over I can show you what I made my stitching friends for Christmas.

Another year is nearly over & another about to begin, thank you to all my readers, the ones that comment & the ones that don't, thanks for all your support. A big thank you to all my new customers & repeat customers for your  trust & faith in me as your quilter!

SPOOLS

 What an exciting moment opening my mail this morning, my spools from Joan !!!! they are just delicious.Rich Thimbleberry colours .I'm not sure how I will put them together as I only have 50, but maybe I will keep watch on Joan's end result. Any suggestions? Maybe alternate with 5" blocks? 
Joan picks out her favorite ones, but I really love them all! But I thought this was a cool one with the deer, or reindeer?
Anyway thanks again Joan, please be sure to pop over to Joan and have a look at what she is up to.

Have a 'SPOOLICIOUS' day.
