The weekend started off a bit like this....
... but once the hard stuff was done .....
(note to self - do not move furniture and do not wear glasses when cleaning... it slows you down)
... and Hubz went off to battle with a tree stump...
(note to self - it is so fun watching a man doing hard labour)
..... I went to play....
... and play ....
.. which is perfect for the two single beds in the spare room...
.... sometime soon I will need to schedule a quilting marathon....
Important Information:
Scrappy Trip Around the World by Bonnie K Hunter
tutorial found HERE
Size of each quilt 61" x 72" - I made 30 blocks for each
1080 2" squares in each quilt
I was so happy to have done that I had to celebrate
I just love this lime and coconut cake... it is so easy and so yummy - recipe thanks to Tracy ... found HERE
.... tonight we have rugby on the screen... if I can tear my eyes away from those beefy muscular sweating piles of testosteronified muscle....
..... I'll do a bit of this.....
... Righto, Gotto Go... ha.. I love them.....
