I was trying to work out what I should do--and decided that I should get stuck into the pattern writing for the  "Sew Happy" wall hanging, which I have been putting off for ages. It is so boring, but I did it. Went to print up a couple of copies-- only to find that the printer had run out of magenta and would not print. Of course I did not have a spare magenta cartridge at home , did I? Why it would need magenta, of all colours, I would not know.

Watch this space-- when I do get the printer working, gone to Officeworks to print the photos and painted more buttons---I will have a give away of this pattern, if anyone is interested.

 

 

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

 

Cheers,

Projects from Norway and a Win

I always love it when someone takes the time to send me photos of what they have made from my patterns. So I was thrilled when I received these photos from May-Britt, all the way from Norway. These patterns are available from Asne's shop, Quiltefryd, in Tonsberg, Norway. In fact a new parcel of the patterns for the Blue Heart cushion and  Blue Heart wall hanging have just gone to the shop.

Thank you May-Britt, for sending these photos to me. You have made my day.



 

 

 

 

I love blog hopping and reading different posts-- and one that I love to read belongs to Stephanie from Rummage (www.stephaniedunphy.blogspot.com) . I was very lucky to win a bag from Stephanie --- and it arrived in the post a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, the bag is beautifully made and it now accompanies me to the shops.

Friday night with Friends

I am a little late in posting what I did on FNWFs.

FNWFs hosted by Cheryll

 

 

I am making a quilt and it is going to have Ohio Stars. I love Ohio stars but my machine skills are poor and accuracy is appalling. I have put off making these stars for years because of that. I decided that practice makes perfect! So I cut a heap of squares and sewed these-- 1 x 9"block, 1 x 3"block and a few 6"blocks. I was pleasantly surprised as to how well they turned out-- so they will have a place in the new quilt after all.

Thank you Cheryll for hosting yet another enjoyable FNWFs.

 

Cheers,
