Oops

Dont know how I did that ,must have pressed the wrong button.
2012,this will be the year I do some machine quilting.
Have a couple of Jan swaps in the pipeline.Every month I am taking part in a 12 x 12 art quilt make.For yourself,on the theme of certain letters of the alphabet each month.

New Year

Musings

Almost the end of another year,finished up the squares and gave it to Tom and Becca.(Will thinks this is my best quilt to date) Got Jakes animal quilt off to him too.Bound the batik quilt and may try hand quilting. Made pjs for georges monkey. Only 2 leaves left to outline in my blackwork then I can begin the gold embellishing. The New Year will bring some interesting swaps and makey do iseas from my QWU forums.There is to be a PC of where we live,another group quilt adventure and an ongoing project where each month we create for our own enjoyment a 12 x 12 mini quilt with the theme of various letters of the alphabet each month. Jan is either A or B and at the moment I am over run with ideas.I played with glue and muslin to make a 3 d African mask from one of my wooden sculptures and think i may go with the African theme.(or Abracadabra,aromatic,alphabet soup or.......)

Fun

Made wreaths and some pillowcases just for fun.Not an artist but was quite pleased regardless
