... that's what I categorise a bunch of things I can't think of a name for.....
I rather liked this moon I saw on my way home yesterday afternoon..... brought a cold morning with a light frost.... we have had a mild winter really ....
... We are starting to join some of the blocks now in the Aiming for Accuracy Quilt-a-long ....
Michele has got sponsors for this quiltalong and I was lucky enough to win one of the random draws
It is a June Tailor ruler and helps with trimming down the half square and quarter squares...
... really great they send all the way over to us in Australia... postage is pretty horrific...
I have found another use for the ruler....
... trimming up my little squares for this months Stitch-a-long project....
I've been doing some more of this secret project ... never thought I would be doing more hexie flowers....
... and a little bit of hand quilting ... on yet another secret giftie....
... and some machine quilting....
I am very pleased that I have been asked to do some quilting for others now.... and getting paid for it.... a dream coming true. I am thrilled that I can start paying for my addiction by doing my addiction!!!
Righto, Gotto Go...
... I am nearly at the end of the applique on my Boys Story Blocks... there is stitching to add to the blocks before I can start trimming them down....
The moon photo is beautiful, love the lighting. And all your blocks look gorgeous and the sneaky peeks! How wonderful you can quilt for others!! Hugs Wendy
