Dont forget the chocolate is done

As I sit here and type this dont forget the chocolate is in the dryer getting all crinkly .
I am so glad to have this done and yes I did quilt it on the big machine
I am not 100% happy with my quilting but for only my 2nd quilt it is ok.
I love this quilt and I think it will be my snuggle quilt for the lounge
LOL I did a pieced binding useing left over scraps from the quilt and I think it looks good

it has been a cool day and it loks like we are in for some rain tonight. I hope it holds off untill later

our local show is on so we will go for a drive tonight and see if the fireworks are on

we do this every year

a nice afternoon

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday

Maree came to visit and she gave me the beautiful doorstop I won on her blog I just love it

Thank you Maree

we had a really nice time chatting and we walked down town and Maree did a Little shopping I love the fabric Maree

then we had coffee

and walked home.

Maree had a fall on a tree root on the footpath on the way home

she is a bit stiff sore now but

I do hope she gets better quickly

thank you for the visit Maree I cant wait to see you again .

my treasures

today hubby and Rachel and I went garage saleing we found some nice sales but some of the prices were a tad high

but the last sale we went to I got

this beautiful little frame and stitchery for $2

and the 2 blue pieces of fabric for $1.50 each

they are about 1 metre each

so I am happy

I hope you are all doing some sewing today

Quilt top done

Ok so here it is
I am happy with it but I still am not sure about the dark pink
I will be binding it in the dark pink as well so maybe that will help ????
I would love some feedback on this I seem to struggle picking fabrics to go together this top is big enough to sit nicely on my Queen bed and
it was really fast to do .
I have spent the day doing housework so I can play in the craft room tomorrow
I would like to make a doll and I want to try painting her feet so I hope it is a nice day

A new quilt

I should be quilting one of the tops sitting in the sewing room but I started a new quilt .
I just love the paisleys fabric so I went and raided my stash I think it will look nice when it is done
I cut it out on Friday and today I have sewn all the blocks
I hope to get it together this week

I am likeing this pattern and am thinking about doing it again in other coloures

I hope all the moms out there had a nice Mothers day

mine was nice I cooked a roast dinner Luke came over and I had a nice long chat with Amanda

on the phone .Brendan and Rachel made me coffee and toast in bed

It was a nice day

hugs Beth
