new one it s a husqvarna 100q and i m in love with it you don t have to use a foot pedal if you don t want it s got a stop start i know many of you will know about these things already but i didn t so i just find it amazing and so so quiet compared to my old one her s a picture of it so far i ve got a few stitchy things on going which i keep having a little turn at i prefer to have a few so i don t get a little bored and start making mistakes one is chart quilt from six penny memories a country spirits easter chart my crochet skills are getting a little better here s a photo of my two grand daughter with yet more trophies for their ballroom latin dancing they re running out of space for them all a real pair of cuties i m off out dining now i m taking mum and dad out for mothers day lunch

this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 15 february 2014 feeling really pleased with myself well i ve just had my first day on my block of the month to make a medallion quilt at my local quilting shop i ve been doing paper piecing and hadn t a clue what it was until rosemary showed us but it s sooooo addictive so much so i can t wait for next month i have completed two of the squares to make up the middle and am well on with the other two so hopefully i will be able to finish them before next time next class is flying geese which will be a new challenge all on it s own i keep looking up at the finished quilt which is hung on the wall with a bit of trepidation thinking will i be able to complete all that i am also meeting some nice ladies some of which are beginners like meso we all have a nice little chat too i was quite envious because they were all talking about their sewing rooms i ve got a spare bedroom be it only quite small but i think with a few shelves and a good workspace area it just might all fit in will have to get dh to have a look with me see what we can do just going to have a sit down now with a cup of hot choccie and do a bit of cross stitching xx posted by bev at 09 43 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 1 january 2014 happy new year oh where have the last 3 months gone

the nights are drawing in quite fast now and it s so much cooler friday we had torrential rain and the forecast for the next day wasn t so good so we were thinking large brollies for the wedding but on the day the sun was shining i had such a lovely day everything was just perfect so i thought i would share a few photos with you all my son steven is on the right his best man karl on the left and my top man christian in front the bride and groom just married signing the register my three little darlings grandad s little princess my oldest son ian his partner alice on the left and my niece rebecca mum and dad and finally the cake it looked far too nice to have to cut up the other good news was that the day before jackie went to see her neuro surgeon and everything was good there was no trace of anymore tumour and things were good so it s a good start to their married life i have managed to fit a bit of stitching in this week but can t share with you yet because one is a halloween
