At last a bit of creativity!

Sorry for being missing again.  I had promised myself that I wouldn't post again until I had something creative to show you and at last I have!  (Moaning about the system is all very well, but it becomes tedious after a while, don't you think?)

This little quilt top is something I have pieced over the last few days.  I love the gentle colours and patterns and am now looking forward to quilting it.  I am going to use my new machine (OOOOh!) to do the quilting and I hope it all comes out OK.

This is the first quilt I have made where I have worked out the pattern entirely by myself and done all the calculations.  Nothing very ground-breaking here but something that will lift my confidence to try something a little more taxing.  I love the soft and gentle colours and although it isn't very big it would be nice as a lap quilt or even a wall-hanging.

For the scrapbookers among us, you might be interested to know that the border is an Anna Griffin print.  Seems very familiar to some scrapping papers I have had in the past!

I am hoping to get back into the swing of quilting properly.  But of course summer is NOT the time to be lugging quilts around with batting/wadding in them or sitting with them on your lap quilting! Heho!

I must get back into some sensible eating this week.  We had a wonderful lunch out today with our great friends Jules and Ross.  The boys and I had a great time and we ate enough for a small rugby team.  I think I feel a visit to the gym coming on!

The quilt has turned out really well-despite the comments we made last Weds re the colours!!!and no, I still haven't pieced mine yet-actually need to buy the batting so it's still on the back burner Joan H

Love the quilt.....and as for eating far too much, well at least we didn't have that huge mound of profiteroles that the boys did - that would have been pigging out!!!!
