Progress




Got a scrappy border on my Bow ties,got my Pond challenge sent off.PHEW.
Denise received her replacement for her inchie twinchie thing. I am now the proud owner of a BJ original picture postcard.Fabulous rendition of a lighthouse based in Australia.This was part of a swap too.
I have cut and sewn together some blocks for the current scrap bags challenge but somehow it is not as cheerful looking as scrappers usually are.Never mind I will persevere.
Bought some gorgeous little girly material for a quilt for Tom's girlfriend Becca's little girl Caitlin who is going to be 4 in October. Not decided yet what pattern to make it up in.
