To do

Quite a list of to do;s/Finish my batik quilt,it is sandwiched and waiting for ......

Cut more coloured pieces from scraps for my Bow ties,it is so effective,can;t believe I have never made one before.

Great Aussie swap,big postcard,too many ideas but implementing them - not easy.

Pond challenge - piece of an art quilt made from a picture of part of a pond.Pheww.Still pondering,but through the night I had an idea for one aspect.

Still got loads of diamonds to do for my handsewn project,only been at it off and on for a couple of years and achieved almost nothing.

Also journalling techniques for textiles,may drop everything else and start the new one.

Nothing done for the last few days as we had a family get together,DH;s son and wife and their little boy george came up and we had a garden party at Rachaels.
