Final Quilt Block

Here, I think, is my last offering for Round 1 of the Quilting Bee that I have been working with for the past 14 months. The overall quilt still has another one or two people to see yet, but for me I think I am done. This block is mainly applique of which I am much more experienced in. It goes along with much of the previous work that has already been done. This is the second outing for my "Birdie" and it will not be the last either.

My quilt arrived at the same time as this quilt and I have been really good and not looked at it until I had completed my share of two other quilts. However, I am now free to work on my own quilt, but guess what? Yep, I am off to my sister-in-laws for a week instead. However I do have plenty of time to look for sashing fabric. So more on that another time. I am also up to date with my Christmas Bee work as well.

Sophie and I were very lucky to spend much of today on Bude beach while hubby went off and carried out a boat survey slightly further up the beach. In 3 years this is the first time that we have managed to co-ordinate like this. i am really waiting for the phone call asking for a boat survey in the Bahamas or the Med!! What do you reckon my chances are?

Great weather this week for the beginning of the Summer Holidays, lets hope it stays with us too.

Hi Little Birdie...

"little Birdie" range

Remember the quilt block that I made a few weeks ago? Here is the start on my "Birdie" range of book covers. This is the first and will be listed in my Etsy shop once I have taken some more pictures. I have several more cut out waiting to be made up. I am going to have variations of this idea and slot a special section into the shop for it to. If you prefer to deal with Folksy and would still like one of these covers in the next few weeks then let me know and I will transfer the item there instead.

On 6th March I am taking part in a CraftFayre, the first in two years, and I shall be shutting the shops for that weekend on Friday 5th march. So if you want anything for Mother's Day or Easter then please purchase the item before the 5th. There is a chance (maybe a slim one!) that the item will not be there on Monday 8th March. I have a 50th Birthday party on 6th too so it is going to be a very busy day.

I have been off work this week with abdominal pains. Thought I had simply pulled some stomach muscles but I have been told that I have not. It has been very painful, it hurts now as I type this but I am getting bored of just sitting around. On some tablets to try and see if it is idea A if not then have to think again. Well it has certainly curtailing any housework too, oh what a shame I hear you cry!

Take care all, back tomorrow
