Good thinking Geneva! Who knows what kind of trouble she could get into while you're gone.

I took a Bonnie Hunter workshop last month. Spent several hours today finishing the top. This is Cathedral Stars, with different colors as well as smaller than hers. I have some older tops that need to be quilted, so this is going in a drawer for a while. :P

I'm more into controlled scrappy than completely scrappy.

Oh, Geneva that is hilarious! Now if I'd get a vacation, y hat is a good idea to send the machine in for spa treatment while I'm gone.

Carrie, I love your quilt! Beautiful!!! I like both... controlled or not. I've done both and will be doing more scrapping as I haven't made a dent yet.

That's beautiful Carol!

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 hmy: hmy: . The shower is going to be at a winery. I may have to indulge. :cheer: 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 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 :P

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.

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

the camera has a kaleidoscope function on it. The red pictures are our curtains in the lounge, whereas the green ones are a grape fabric that I made into a dress for Izzy. Could be a fun way to design fabric -providing I/you start with a copyright free image - eyeballs or nostrils anyone?

So which way is up?
