Cannot believe it is 2 months since I was on here last.Been busy and here we are 1st day of Spring. Did a gold 12 x 12 for Feb and I am making a felted one for March. Made a layercake quilt in set in squares,sandwiched the Boxy Stars and had a go on MY NEW SEWING MACHINE to quilt it. Turned 60 in Feb and got a pension lumper so treat myself to a Pfaff. Good friend Bev lost her little G/daughter before her birth but almost lost her daughter Sammi too.Must be absolutely devestating. Made a pincushion,a quilt for jack and am working on one for Bobby. Also made a teacup table runner for a challenge on QWU. Was part of a multi sliced art quilt too and got mine sent off and recieved in time.Made a tea cosy for BJ as a hostess gift Now looking back over this I have accomplished more than I thought I had. Played around with the stitches on my m/c to get used to it.

Scrap bags

been making a Boxy stars quilt.Good timing as I was planning to make Jess a quilt anyway when the challenge came up on QWU.
Got off to a good startNOT by sewing triangles on the wrong corners on 7 squares. Started again and the 48 blocks are done and joined into 12 larger ones.Pleased with the colours.
More planned than my usual scrappy style.
