wow what a week! we were so busy at work It was busier than a fish and chip shop on a friday night.
Luckily I haven't caught you up on all the things I have been working on in my blogging absence.
I managed to put together all the blocks for my floral hopscotch top. I did alter the blocks as I didn't think I could make all the originals. Sometimes you have to simplify to get a project over the line.
Just need to work out exactly how I want the borders then it will be ready to quilt.
I made a start on some clamshells for Okehampton when the country girls caught up with the city girls at Sue's house..
After a visit last year to Unwind Cafe with a friend I purchased some beautiful cotton to crochet with.
I decided I would make a throw for my sister in law. This shop stocks Bendigo Wools and it is gorgeous with a vintage feel and the most amazing scones and lemon butter!!!!
I made a start but it has been slow going. So relaxing and soft to work with.
I'm hoping I will get some crafting time this week....otherwise I'll have to wait till things settle down a bit.
Still haven't basted my Gossip in the garden. It's such a big job but once it's done I can go full steam ahead with the quilting.
Till then I will hold back as I am so tempted to start something new!
It's harder than being on a diet!
Have a great week
cheers
