Lady of the Lake

    I can finally show you the top :-) We had lunch today to celebrate the birthday. Rosemary loved her Quilt top.
She now has the option of making 3 more blocks, using it as a centre to a medallion or maybe just adding a smaller border of half square triangles and finishing it off.
I am pleased with the finished result. There was a bit of cursing going on and finding that final fabric was a real challenge. There are a few birds in the border too.
There have been a few personal challenges on the homefront too but we are getting there.
I can now get back to Nearly Insane. Just Love Tara’s and it is time that I got back into the swing of mine.
 Cheers Lynne

Civil War Block 2

Sorry I have been quiet. Life is a little on the carousel at the moment. The dreaded bookwork is taking too much of my time too.
I am also working on a secret project with what little sewing time I have managed to get.
I am behind on Civil War and Nearly insane too. They are waiting patiently for me though.
Did manage to find a gorgeous Winselman Saxonia Fiddlebed sewing machine for Rob.
Stay Tune for Photos.
Have a Great Week all  Cheers Lynne

Thankyou Quilt Threads

The book I won on Quilt Threads arrived in todays mail.
Thankyou so much Meredith.
I just love it. There are some gorgeous block choices. One is calling to me. Lady of the Lake Feathered Star. Now I might be cursing all those HST by the end but after Nearly Insane Block 8, Hey I can do anything! Stay Tune.
I see Civil War fabrics and Lots of Colour.
Have a Great Day All Cheers Lynne

Finally Nearly Insane Block 8

 

Block 8 is finally finished. I actually made it to the last border before I chose the fabrics for the last border. Did not like my first colour choices and this is my second.

I did manage to squeeze a couple of tiny bugs and a chicken’s head in. Not obvious or they will not be in the bigger quilt. I have set out to make this block 3 times in the last 18 months.  and I am happy it is finished.

I have also made the Barbara Brackman week 1 block. Love that cheddar.

 

Have a great Creative weekend All

Cheers Lynne

Block 82 Nearly Insane

Hi All I am straight back into my blocks. Hope to finish piecing all the Nearly Insane blocks this year :-) I have made 57 blocks so far. Oh and I am halfway through piecing the dreaded Block 8! Stay tune for a photo soon. Hope you have a Great New Years Weekend  Cheers Lynne

Mermaid and Seahorse

  I needed to make one more Present and the little girl was not going to be around til after Christmas. So for the last two days I have been grabbing spare moments. I am not a doll maker and have not made a doll before. There are no buttons or anything that could get stuck in small mouths as the little girl is just one.

This is the pattern from the latest issue of Homespun –The Summertime issue-  designer Natalie Ross. She looks a little different and has her own personality.

Happy New Year to everyone Cheers Lynne

Christmas Shirt is finally finished!

I have just sewn the last button on my Christmas shirt and it is ready to wear. A friend gifted me this gorgeous piece of Liberty Roses fabric (So Me :-)) and I thought it would make a perfect Christmas shirt. Red and Green with gorgeous gold buttons. I am almost ready for Santa. Not being the most organised of people that is nothing short of a miracle.

Wishing Each and Everyone of you Joy and Peace at Christmas and the very Best of Health and Happiness in the year 2011.

Cheers Lynne and Rob
