NEW BITS AND PIECES

I have been doing the FMQ CHALLENGE on FaceBook and Leah Day suggested these threads to use, I ordered some from Barnyarns in a special deal they had,

and oh my I love them...

so I ordered another special pack...

 and a white one -

and this is snow white beautiful...

 Following are three fabrics Marian got for Annette and myself off her market,

they are 100% cotton and gorgeous for backings - thanks M...

 I treated myself to a new book on bags...

 I painted my nails and decorated them with these nail art things...

 dodgy trying to take pics yourself of your hands...

ah this is better, thanks hubby, the bits stayed on for about

5 minutes -

they drove me nuts to tell you the truth so I removed them,

I expect Rebecca will get them...

Postcard depicting RUSSIA in a swap I am in on the PP Forum

this one is from Katy, I thought it was Russian, look closely

you can see it is Janet backwards and upside down, clever...

 This is not a handmade postcard, but Katy sent it with the Russian one and I love it...

 Picture of the River Pageant for the Queen's Jubilee -

taken whilst the TV was on,

didn't the BBC make a right old hash of it, I put in a complaint...

Back to the FMQ CHALLENGE on Facebook -

this is the challenge for JUNE -

mark off a piece of fabric in sections then fill with FMQ - just my sort of thing I love doing this, can you see I did the alphabet on there...

 this is the back, and no it doesn't have a backing on it yet as it will be turned into a bag later, but can you see a face on this, it is a bit spooky...

TWENTY VALDANI Variegated threads =

one feather sample of FMQ...

the back...

 this is the next sample I am working on it and not sure if it is going to work out,

we shall see, can you guess what it is though????

This picture is of my Son-in-Law, Richard, on his new bike
at Donnington I think it was, Suzanne took the picture with her new camera,
great picture, how fast was he going?
On second thoughts, no don't tell me....

Thank you all for looking

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW

BOOKS - Don't you just love them. Last year I bought quite a few, and have already started this year and am off to a grand start I can tell you. Here are last years, these are apart from the Fiction books I bought. As if I don't have enough books already. I cant help myself.

These are my 'Arty' style books

I've lost this one, got to see if it has moved in with my Quilt books.

 These are my 'Quilty' style books...

 Oh a novel sneaked in here...

2011 starts here

 I had these two last week, am totally smitten...

 Ordered these three yesterday, I cannot wait for them to come...

I think you can see I am going off in yet another direction in my work right now. I have too many quilts and not enough room to keep them. Hubby looks when I finish a Quilt and groans - where is THAT one going? - usually it gets added to the ever growing pile on the chair in the bedroom.

Well enough is enough I think. I have got to stop for a while and think things through. Just when I feel I am at my quilting peak I am thinking of giving up.  Panic is setting in, what happens to all my Quilts when I pop my clogs? My girls wont want them they quilt themselves now. I was chatting to my lovely friend Tonya last night and she said why not put them on EBay unquilted as 'Quilt Tops' we looked for a page to see what if any were there.

137 pages of Quilt Tops are on EBay, how the heck do mine stand a chance with that many. I don't know why but seeing so many of them on there made me very sad.

Yes I know I could give them all away, but I would like to sell them if I really have to so I can have a little bit of cash, for a rainy day. Oh heck I just don't know what to do. I want to make Quilts not have to worry about the storage or disposal of them.

What do you do?

Do you make Quilts?

Lots of Quilts?

I would be interested to know how you store them or do you just make one and then stop? I know someone who did just that, she reckoned she had a Quilt so didn't need another.  I just don't get it!!!!

I was chatting to my friend Di this afternoon and we both agreed we need to win the lottery so we can have a huge place to display our Quilts as we want to. Oh Bliss. Then I could keep all my babies and make more and more and more and more.......

Di has a plan for me, she is ringing me tomorrow night.

BOOKS AND THE PHONE

Here are a few books I no longer want to keep.

If you like them maybe we can come to some agreement?

Good condition but used.

Oh yes the phone part...

My landline is non existent at the moment, a fault on the line BT say!

It has been very quiet this weekend!!

hahahaha
