Oooopppsss..... new project..........

I am loving using these fabrics
(Judie Rothermell - Judie's 25th Anniversary fabrics)


to make my 9 patches each month....


they are really quite nice and easy to do and makes for a fun afternoons stitching....


Thanks Trish, for facilitating this fun swap

.... I was a bit overenthusiastic when I ordered the fabrics ... and there are other which I won't be using for my 9 patch... and also some left over from cutting the strips...



I have never actually done a quilting course for making sure my points and seams are correct...

... and Michele over at Quilting Gallery is doing a Quilt-A-Long with lessons for free ....


so I am going to use up these fabrics and learn new skills at the same time

and make this .......


All you need to know about this Quilt-Along can be found HERE

... and we can show ff on facebook too ....

I was persuaded by Wendy and Maria..... 

It's entirely their fault I am starting a new project ..... some peoples!!

anybody else doing this too? ... come on.... it'll be fun....

Righto, Gotto Go.... I need to work on some much neglected Japanese scrappy blocks....

    The nine patches have made for very satisfying sewing every month, I will miss it when it finishes. Look forward to seeing how your new project goes.
