THE MISSING QUILT AND MORE

The one I forgot to photograph yesterday...better late than never...

it is a four patch on point, made with scraps...

 the back...with a pair of feet hahahaha...

 close up...

 ******************************

Bit of fun now, whenever there is a 'special' day, my mobile phone

outs funny backgrounds on my screen, this was for Halloween,

can you see the graveyard and spooky trees -

but look at the peoples heads - they are pumpkins, hahahaha

wondering what will happen for Bonfire night????

****************************************

This little postcard went all the way to Israel for Fay...

A BIT OF THIS - A BIT OF THAT

Not finished anything of late so just been taking pictures of this and that, as you do. The first picture is of my beloved Bernina, just to remind everyone that this is the machine I do all my sewing on, I don't possess a Long Arm, way too expensive for me. Anyway this machine does the job I feel.

***************************************************

On the PP Forum we are set a theme for a Journal Page each month -

September was Fabric Origami...ARGH, I hated this almost as much as the Mola,

but it is done now, here is what I did, finished pictures will be tomorrow, I forgot to take those [doh]...

the background...

 One Pinwheel or is it a Friendship Star???

 Made a few more in different sizes...

 Then stacked them...

 one on top of the other, in threes, finished pik tomorrow, sorry.

 *********************************************

Remember the cupboard I was pinching?

Here it is all filled up, I got hubby to make me a 'half shelf' for the top so I could utilise

the space a bit better. Now starting at the bottom left, that is all UFOs right to the base of the shelf...

Oh dear!!!!!

Right hand side,  trays of bits and bobs, things that are, ideas in progress as it were...

On the shelf, on the left are Quilts for sale, on the right, smaller bits for Sale...

I am going to put them all on my other Blog the JansMags one, once I have sorted the sizes out...

I hope you will go and look and see if you fancy anything!!!!! ;-)

Rebecca found out her mum's wedding dress was in my wardrobe. She asked to have a look at it,

then could she try it on, her mum said yes she could so.....

Bit big for her and a bit long for her too, but oh my....

 back view, she wanted to keep it on, but spoil sport me said no, so back in it's bag it went

back in the wardrobe...

and there is Annette in it...

 ***********************************************

What has happened to my Rose?

The other half is right....

better late than never I guess...

going over now...

so many different shades...

I love them, I can't help it...

but NOT their scent...

He grew some Asters and they were gorgeous...

waiting to be planted...somewhere...

more Asters...

Queen Elizabeth Rose...

difficult holding it and taking the picture...

MIXED BUNCH OF GOODIES

I have finished the last three blocks Tessa had put up on the Forum for us to make, I think some of my blocks are quite different to the other girls blocks they have made, but not to worry they have the same names...

WAGON WHEEL

 FLYING GEESE

 CARPENTERS WHEEL

 Another block will be put up for us to make on 1st October, just a few to go I think.

***************************************

When Rebecca and Annette went to London and visited Buckingham Palace,

they bought this for us... 

 yum yum, haven't eaten them yet, but it wont be long before I do, hahahaha

 ********************************************

Liz asked where I keep my Quilts when they are finished???

Some of my Teds take care of them Liz, BUT

they are going to a new home soon, the Quilts not the Teds.

 ************************************************************

We cleared a load of crap stuff out of the airing cupboard as

we were having a new boiler fitted in the roof, this meant we had to empty two cupboards,

what a load of rubbish we found, BUT, look at this little gem hubby found...

Original Wrapping...

 Instructions...

 complete with threads...

 fascinating...

 Yes, I had started it then abandoned it -

I remember when I used to go to hubbies house every Sunday for Tea,  before we were married this is, his mum found out I liked to sew, so, she went upstairs and came back with this, threw it at me  gave it to me and said 'there you are then, you can do that' So I used to sit there every Sunday evening sewing this, I know I used to enjoy doing it even though it took ages to do one flower. I think I impressed her actually cos she said 'that's nice'.  Isn't it a shame I never finished it, I think we must have got married and it got forgotten. I know I will never finish it now, so what to do with it???? Any ideas?????

 These took me ages to do, one at a time, slow but sure...

 It is just so pretty even if I do say so myself...

 I await your ideas of what to do with it

*********************************************8

What is this??????

 YAY it is the empty cupboard which I am going to have for my Quilts, see Liz, they will be moved into here, hubby has painted it all for me inside, I am waiting for it to dry out thoroughly before the Quilts go in there, I may even put a piece of fabric at the base, and some Cedar balls to help the scent of the thing, it does pong at the mo!!!!  I am hoping to get my completed Quilts AND my UFOs in there. We shall see...

 *********************************

To finish on a really great not, here are the threads hubby bought me for my birthday,

yum yum yum

thank you hubby

****************************************

Don't forget to enter my give away - under the   1066   post
I shall be closing it on Monday 26 September
