Doing the Happy Dance!!!!

C'mon Kris .... join me, you know you know how it's done he he he ... shuffle, shuffle, clap, clap ..... sliiiiide .... shimmy shimmy .... oh yeah!!! That's me dancing cos I'm celebrating - I've finally finished Ross and Alicia's quilt!!!! Yay!!!! I can't wait to give it to them!!!

Waddyathink???

I'm so pleased with it, the colours are so fresh and the butterflies (on the 'diamond' strips - you can't see them too well on this piccy, they're clearer here) are just right for Alicia, she LOVES butterflies :o). It's made from one of my JoyPatch patterns called "Diamonds and Braids" but I added a border to make it bigger.

I'm also chuffed to bits with how the label turned out. I was going to piece a label from some of the leftover fabrics but then I had a bright idea. So I bolted down to my Local Quilt Store to see Margaret and the girls there and I bought a pack of printable fabric. DD gave me a hand with finding a site to edit my piccies (here) it was an easy site to navigate, so I played until I came up with this!!! I really like it :o). The pic isn't quite as clear as real life - it's Ross placing the ring on Alicia's finger - but I think you get the idea.

So, since I've finished that now, I'm free to make other things. So, I started stitching these gorgeous fabrics .......These are my "Oh Cherry Oh's - I've been dying to get my hands on these little darlings ... don't they all go together so beautifully!!??! I ran out of thread part way through though so I've had to put them aside, but I'll be off to get more thread tomorrow so that I can make some more progress :o).

Going to do the ironing now ....

Would you like thread with that??

Well I think all of us quilters are familiar with a thread or two on the carpet ....... or even on the furniture every now and then ....... I've even found threads on my clothes too ......... haven't we all (??)But are you ready for the latest invasion??? hehehe

I've always thought it was quite handy having the sewing room so close to the kitchen .... I've always been able to dash in and do a bit of stitching while the vegies are cooking etc. But, I think my quilting is overflowing into the kitchen!!!!!!!

My DH had been at work all day on Saturday and when he got home I offered to make him a drink. He does enjoy a Bundy (Rum) and Coke on the weekend :o).

This is what I found when I went to put the ice in the glass Do you recognise it???? Pretty blue :o). It's a thread from Ross and Alicia's quilt!!!!

I guess that's what you get for trying to do 2 or 3 things at once ;o).

That really tickled me LOL.
