Catch up !

Well it's mid week, I finished my rag quilt and it came out beautifully if I do say so myself!
So today decided to go and Jane & Charmain at Barrets Beads and Crafts to pick up some more fabric because tommorow I have to teach my very good friend Tracy how to do cathedral window quilting ! Which really means lots of laughs, tea and cake, what ore could a girl ask for lol!  I have also booked a table for selling some of my products at the Vintage and Craft Fair at the Melvich Hotel on the 7th April, so if you find the time, come say hello and see what we have to offer.

Well its been as busy weekend for me, I went to the quilting club on Saturday to meet all the ladies and catch up! Problem was i had to take something to be getting on with too, but I didn't want to take the quilt I am part way through putting together because I knew if I moved it I would lose where I am up to and my pattern comepletely! So being me I just stuck a load of fabric and some wadding in my bag and off i went and thought some form of inspiration would hit me on the way there, well I guess it did cos I decided to try my hand at making a rag rug and i have finished it and now its in the washing machine so if it works I will post a picture tommorow if not I will tell you where I went wrong! So to compensate myself I made my wonderful hubby some bannana fritters and a humongous chocolate cake too ! scrumptious!

A Day of Surprises

Well today was not a day I expected, I have sat and stared at my mass of fabric to seek some inspiration, when all of a sudden my mobile phone chirruped that i had a message. Ring me ASAP said the message! Instantly you think the worst especially as the message was from beautiful daughter in law in the states. Well I rang and had to sit down quick! Do you want to be called Grandma or Grannie my gorgeous son asked me! So there was my inspiration! Two grandchildren now due this year! My daughter told me at the end of last year that her and her husband we expecting a baby in July too, so looks like my inspiration is going to be babies.So get ready for lots of baby things for the next month or so!
