Feelin' the Love!!!

I am feeling the love at the moment. Last quilt was Love Nest and now I have moved onto Love Knot!

Here are the 2 blocks that I have completed so far. The curves are quite fiddly but I am liking the finished block and the fabrics...7 more blocks to go!



I had a call from the Quilter and Love Nest is ready to be picked up...I just have to find the time to get there to pick it up!

An hour and a bit 'til I have to leave to pick the girls up, so first of all I am going to eat my lunch with the latest Quilts Down Under and then I am going to sew a couple of pieces of fabric together! Dave is in Hong Kong on business this week so I have a few nights to have a sewing frenzy....and get the ironing done!!

Book Number 14 - The Longest Trip Home

This morning I opted out of my Saturday morning run whilst Dave took the girls to swimming and snuggled up under the covers to finish this beautiful book The Longest Trip Home by John Grogan.

A story about family and evolving as your own person from your family but appreciating the love and support from your parents - I think it is story alot of us would relate to. I loved this book. It has me sobbing towards the end of it and I don't think a book has done that to me for a long time. I loved Marley & Me by the same author and now this one, I can't wait to see what John Grogan writes about next!

Wall Hanging Wonder

I have been involved in a swap with my quilting friends over at EB. Today was the big reveal. I was very lucky to receive this lovely little number from the lovely Dani. I love the colours, and the thread used for the quilting. It is a really pretty little quilt. Miss Zoe has claimed it as her own already! Thank you Dani, I love it x



I am hoping Car can email me some photos of the wallhanging I made, as I was a tad silly and forgot to take any photos of it!

Will be back later to post the links to all the participants blogs so you can check out how clever we EB Newbie Quilters are. But for now, it is off to the kitchen. Our little minx, Ciára, turns 2 on Monday so we are having a bash for her tomorrow and I have ALOT to do before I go to bed tongiht!

SEWJO WANTED - PLEASE HELP!!

Well, the machine has been taunting me from the dining room table all week, Dave was away and usually I go mad for sewing when he is not home...but all my sewjo has gone MIA and feels like it will never return. Very sad! I am going to pack it all away, and wait until I get an urge. I am not going to force myself or it will not be enjoyable. So, here's hoping i have some quilty news for you soon, but til then, ciao for now!
