Dear Jane Update A11, A12, A13...

YAY - Row A is now completed...

Here is A11 - Pebble Protest
(Note the tiny little squares these are about 1/2" finished)


A12 Framed Fancy
(Even tinier triangles to contend with through the sewing machine)


A13 Starlight Starbright
(surprisingly this block went together without a hitch and no reverse stitching required!)



I also added the top sashing and bottom sashing to Row A to keep the squares tidy as some of the fabrics where starting to fray. LOOKS AMAZING... is good motivation to keep growing the quilt.

I've already got 4 blocks made for Row B... hope to update you more progress soon!

Butterfly Garden Update...

Have been quietly working away on Leanne's House, Butterfly Garden - I laid out the blocks joined so far 1-6 am loving the look of it...

Completed Block 7 (below) at my stitching weekend away the other week...

Am now working on Block 8 - then one more block to go, borders, sandwich, quilt and bind!

Pencil Art c/- email photo's currently circulating

My sister sent me some great photo's through email that are currently circulating in cyber-space - here is just a few of them.... one word sums it up really.... AMAZING

Some person is just way too clever and must have an incredibly sharp knife and steady hand!

Mr FuzzyMan...

Have you met Mr FuzzyMan? He is the cute large blue toy on the Purina Beneful tv ad's... check out the video clip below to get an idea...


Well in the groceries last night I had to get Diesel more bikkies and it so happens he eats Beneful and they had a mini Mr Fuzzyman as a promo gift - couldn't wait to get home to see what Diesel thought...

I think he likes him...

Not the best pic of DH, however Diesel just wanted to share the 'love'...

Then Bella had to climb over the towels to check out what on earth was going on...

Diesel just loves "Mr FuzzyMan"...

Have a happy week

Girls Weekend...

... Had a lovely weekend away stitching with the girls, another well looked after weekend at Stanford Retreat, where Cheryl's hospitality is second to none.

The downside was that I suffered a migrane all weekend, along with 'ladies cramps and aches' so I achieved next to nothing, I spent Saturday lounging with hottie and hand stitching and finally got to make two blocks for the Dear Jane quilt last night and today! The double downside was I didn't visit my Aunty or visit any crafty shops or spend any money... was my cheapest weekend away ever!

Hope your weekends faired better... will take photo's of blocks tomorrow night and post - some of the pieces are tiny!

Hugs
