Starting to get a good collection.

Slowly I am getting thru these blocks. But a long way to go before I am finished. They are intriguing and after I have completed one its like a precious little thing I have to tend to. A bit strange I know but that is what they are beginning to be like.

I have got the next 3 ready to go and I just got to sort out other stuff first.

I am going full steam ahead!!

Well, what can I say other than I am really enjoying doing these blocks. I actually did two today and one Christmas eve. These are all the first row A across.

They aren't perfect but I am trying to keep the colours as Jane done hers. I am happy with them and I am keeping a journal as well as a folder with them in and the printed out pattern for each.

My Dear Jane Quilt

I have done a block!! My first block for my Dear Jane quilt. I am going to do number 2 block tomorrow. How long it will take me to do the whole quilt will be a mystery. I intend to finish it.

This is A-1 block that I foundation pieced.

Medallion Round Robin 2008

On the craft forum a few of us ladies decided to do a Medallion Round Robin for 2008 and I started this with the centre by applique on it and then the next lady did a border and passed it on to the next lady and on it went to several different ladies until I got it back just the other day. I love how its turned out and am delighted with what the ladies did on it. I just have to back it now and maybe do some quilting. Not sure yet.

Here's a cute little fairy I sent to Sandy for the Softy swap thats happening on the Craft forum.

I had to make a few of them as I just loved them.

Elvis Wall Hanger

I couldnt wait any longer to give this wall hanger with Elvis on it to my husband's Auntie. She is just crazy about Elvis and I managed to get the picture panel off of ebay and then sewed it up into a wall hanger. I gave it to her yesterday and she just about turned herself inside out with glee!! It was such a thrill watching her looking at it and exclaiming how fabulous it was. She cant wait to go to her Bingo meeting next week to show all her friends there, she is in her 70's too so never too old to still 'love' a singing idol.

Elm Creek Quilt Novels

I have started to read these fabulous novels and just love them. They are by Jennifer Chiaverini and she has written quite a few novels which I intend on reading all. These are the ones I have read and have enjoyed immensely.

All the above I have read and loved and I am now reading this one below.

I am getting mine from the library and there are a few more to get to read.

I have gotten out the pattern books and they are great too.

The author is

Jennifer Chiaverini and she has a web page.

I can put up a picture of my latest design to show you as its now out in the Patchwork & Stitching magazine Vol 9 No 4. I loved sewing this Table Centre and I hope you do too.
