Having been given a jelly roll and a quilting book for Christmas 2010, there is no excuse not to get on with quiltmaking.

Here's what happened next...

Christmas Quiltalong 2012 - Mar pt1

Today is the Christmas Quiltalong Saturday for March, and our host for the day is Joanna at Needle Thread Happiness.

I have the second set of instructions for QuiltSue's Festive Mystery quilt, and I am all set to go! Especially as I have now dusted, vacuumed, done the washing & hung it out, put the dishwasher on, cleaned the bathroom and spent an hour or so out the front painting the railings to match the new drive gates.

Phew!

I've just been round the world to see what everyone is up, and now I am ready to quilt!

  3. Oh my goodness! What a morning you're having! All I'm doing is making messes...instead of sewing in my sewing corner, I set up in the kitchen and see a sewing mess every where I look! Oh well...when blocks are done, mess will be cleaned up!

    1. Try plan A: methodically work round the area moving things each to their own place, part by part, and at the other end - voila - you have a tidy area.

      OR plan B: bundle everything that looks like a messy heap into a basket which you can bung into your sewing corner and 'sort out later'. Yeah, right.:)

    1. Nap danger zone is after a nice hot bubbly bath, Donna - like as not I come out swaddled in beautiful towels, 'have a little lie down on the bed with Domino/Oliver for a purr-y cuddle and read a page of my book' then zzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

    1. It's all in the list-making, Joanna! Mind you, my idea of house cleaning is but a quick whizz round on a Saturday morning which may well not come up to other's standards (for example, that of my mother!) but there ya go! ;-)
