of border...
Hubby doesn't like the fabric I chose, he says the white splodges are off putting, I see what he means, I will make another one I think on plain fabric...
*************************************************************
I have just put the following quilts on Ebay -
my ebay page
the reason being, I have to sell some of my quilts, they are taking over the house,
if I don't get 'rid' of some of them I shall have to stop making them I guess -
boo hoo...
Thanks for looking!!!!
************************************
At the last meeting for this year of my group, I had asked them to make a Suffolk Puff tree, they loved it, personally I hate SP's but had to do it, well you do don't you...
so here is my SP tree, I have to say I quite like it but no way will I be doing SP's again
 I did squiggle wiggly squares for the background using FMQ,
then sewed a snowflake and bead to each junction point..Mad!!!
*********************************************
Last but not least -
back once more to the PP Forum, Katy is running the UFO club on there this year and this is the quilt I am working on now to get finished for the UFO Album, it is a very old UFO, very old.....
I hope to have it finished by end of the week.

Love to see your updates, they are always jam packed with stuff!
I still think it is amazing you can do such neat quilting, like the one you showed in your customer's quilt, in a regular sewing machine! Well done indeed!

Ditto what Cal said...I love that Suffolk puffy tree....looks amazing as all your work does. I like your FMQ stuff...you sure make your sewing machine do so pretty fancy stitching...mine usually looks like blobs...ahahaha! Your UFO is beautiful looking...hope you get a good price for it!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful work...xoxoxox Noel

Fantastic stuff Jan. I don't like Suffolk puffs either but you have made a brilliant tree from them. Just goes to show how things you don't enjoy can turn into pieces of beauty.
