Well, I ended up doing 8 small quilts, not the six I first thought. I have one more to do, but no rush with that one. I finished the binding on my Colorful Rhapsody for our local guild show. Received a blue ribbon on it. I am glad that is finished. I am getting things ready for a quilt retreat next week. I really need it. I need close to 200 charm squares cut for the class we are doing. I have 70 cut so far. I am just cutting from the smaller pieces in my stash. It is a Scrappy Stars quilt.
DH went with me to the LQS looking for batik fabric. He likes the Hawaiian shirts, but they cost so much. I let him pick out two fabrics he liked. I will make the shirts, then I get the scraps to go in my stash . I guess my labor is free, and he gets two shirts for the price of one ready made one. Just need to get started before summer is over. I also save his old shirts. I will make a quilt from them someday too.
First priority is to get caught up on my row exchange. Then to finish my mystery quilt. Then I guess I will sew his shirts. At least he won't complain about the time I spend down in the sewing room.
Oh gosh! I forgot about the garden. I help him plant the veggies, and pick the veggies, but the canning and freezing is up to me. When is there ever enough time.

No idea. Not cracked it yet

Could be a fun way to design fabric -providing I/you start with a copyright free image - eyeballs or nostrils anyone?

Oh dear I'm going to have to lie down to read your posts now. *tuts*

Fun stuff Rosemary - I'll hint for an iPad for my birthday this year!

Rosemary, The pictures are interesting. Is this how you will design your quilts now?

I would herewith like to give notice that future posts with pictures from myself are liable to suffer from
Twiglet-itis, as I have finally bought my birthday pressy from my parents of a snazzy new iPad. I will also be suffering from the auto-correct

Did enjoy playing with this feature in the photo section though...



Izzy hates this one of my eyes...

It is nearly as bad as the one of my nostrils!

These, however are much better-




And here is a tea towel we bought last year on holiday.

Beautiful quilt Carrie.
Everyone must be really busy. Not much has been posted lately. I have been very busy too. I have 6 small quilts I need to get put together today. I have already finished 2 others. There will be batting, but no quilting or binding. I am just going to sew edges together with an open space to turn. I will topstitch a quarter inch around the edges. Will try to post a picture tomorrow.
Did I mention I am babysitting 4 grands this weekend too and have a wedding shower to go to tomorrow. No time to get a gift yet . The shower is going to be at a winery. I may have to indulge. Carefully though because I will have my youngest grand with me. She is to be the flower girl so gets to attend. Hope you all have a happy and much less stressful weekend than I will be having.

I'm back in the USA!!! In Miami but will be home tomorrow.

I've missed you guys!
