bits and bobs

I just don't know where the past few weeks have flown to...
I have been working on a surprise gift which I will show once it's complete as the recipient doesn't visit my blog but I can show that I have been slowly adding to my mini hearts collection.
This is a pic from a few weeks ago they have doubled since this pic was taken quite nicely.
 These little lovelies are from my scrap stash. They are so cute.


On Monday I had a day to myself and decided that I would piece a backing from my blue stash. It's rough looking in this picture but you get the idea. I was in a hurry  to start basting so it was a quick pic.


the backing is for this basket quilt which has been waiting for awhile.
It will be hand quilted as it's not that big and should be manageable.


I also basted another secret project for hand quilting. Think these will keep me distracted for a little bit till I get back to what I need to be working on.lol

happy days

  9. For some reason my comments are not showing up in my email. But, I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog post about Mary Brown in Wonderland. I got busy on the first block yesterday. I think it is going to be harder to use the Alice in Wonderland fabric than I thought. Time will tell.
