Variousness......

My block from Sheila in Nova Scotia, Canada arrived last week...... it was fun to be paired up with an existing blog friend.....

This will go into my  I Spy block collection which you can see HERE...


Sheila also sent this lovely landscape postcard..... I had seen postcards on blogs but never close up and now I have one of my own..... such a lot in a little space.... I love it... thanks

If you haven't met Sheila visit HERE... she does a lot of interesting projects... and it is always a fun visit

I have completed my June blocks for the 'Tis The Season Stitch-A-Long - thanks to Chookyblue for the reminders.......


Christmas Joy and Elfin Sleigh

Last week I finished a UFO.... my animal junction quilt..... I bought the kit from Bec last year..... and started it...... and then of course it sat in the cupboard for a while....

I must say I do love it

the picture doesn't show the colours so well but it is a really happy and bright quilt


I had fun with the backing too....


simple straight line quilting and stripey binding


this was to be a quilt for me to have at my house..... it's quite boyish...

I may need it later this year for maybe a boy .... but there also maybe a girl

.... mmm... I have to do something about that!
