yes I know, completely hopeless.....missed the whole of December including Christmas, missed New Year, and it's nearly February.......time flies - it's true!
I know I have a lot of catching up to do. But in the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope it has been a good one for you so far. It has been a busy, quiet one for me.....quite nice really. Apart for the week here that it hovered around 44 C for five or so days...................not great sewing weather.....not great anything weather.
I have a couple of things to tell you today, and then (soon) (hopefully) normal transmission will resume :)
Thing Number 1
You know I'm a Sue Spargo fan.....and, well, I just can't get things finished. So my Imperial Blooms (2011 BOM) is nearly there, but not quite. I'm working on the borders......so close, but no cigar yet.
Earth n' Twig (2012 BOM) haven't even touched it. I'm calling that one, "my retirement fund".
Bird Dance (2013 BOM) I vowed to keep up with, and, well, you know I didn't. I did start it (just) in 2013.
So when I signed up for In Full Bloom (2014 BOM) (ye-es, I did) I got an attack of the guilts, and thought I had better do something with these darling birds, so here is number one.
So cute.
So much work.
But worth it.
Thing Number 2
Well it should be no great mystery to you, that our sewing group (the SSS) is on the mystery train for Di Ford's mystery quilt (click here if my comments are mysterious). We are not working ahead, we are completely in the dark - just like you.
As part of my new mantra (I shall not buy more fabric, I shall use what I have already bought) I chose (from my stash) this background for the centre block.
I have no idea where it came from, but it is just the right size, so it's a winner!
I hope you can join in the mystery quilt-a-long this year. One thing's for sure, it will be a beautiful quilt by 2015.
That's it for now,
See you real soon, or at least sooner than last time ;).
Deb
