This will be the second row of the challenge quilt that Marg (House of Margarita) and I are doing. Needless to say, I have only done the one block while she has finished the row!!!

A friend of mine suggested that we do a row by row quilt together (House of Margarita) using only what we already have in our stash,, sounds easy enough? Guess picking the fabrics was easy,, I started making one of the blocks and nearly climbed the wall in the process (oh boy, I'm gonna get her!) must have checked the instructions a million times,, "it can't be this small/we must be making a doll's quilt",, this is the first block, only another 8 to go!! It is 4" square,,,, Fiddly!!! Grrrrrr! It will certainly be interesting to see the finished quilt!!!

Just a quick look at a few of the materials that I got in NZ,, I really put a restraint on myself this time which was amazing

Well, I am home from nearly a month spent in New Zealand, caught up with one of my daughters and her lovely sons and spent some time driving around the south island.. Some beautiful scenery and lovely weather followed me everywhere.. Got home and have just been playing with my Janome 6600 Memory Craft, it is a huge sewing machine to what I have ever had and is sooooo quiet! Not a lot getting done but am on my way!! This year is going to be great!!
Till next time when I should have some photos up,,, Cheers

And today, I finished another cot quilt, this one is for baby due any day now, and the first quilt I got finished before the baby is born!!! A first for everything!!

Found a book by Anjii Solomon who likes playing with angles, I have made a couple and am playing also, hopefully I will get to make a whole quilt with them,,, they do look interesting!

It has been a while since I posted but I have managed to get a few things done. I have been chasing the pattern for this different mug bag for a while and thanks to one of the great ladies on the forum I got it,, have made a couple since this one, but think I only remembered to take this photo!
