PAY IT FORWARD RECEIVED

Illene over at http://retdairyqueen.blogspot.com/ and I participated in a P.I.F.  She sent me a gift for Christmas and I have just received notification that she received her gift.  This is what I made for her:-

LADYBIRD, LADYBIRD FLY AWAY HOME

My neice is expecting her first baby in July.  I am currently putting together these cute little ladybird blocks on my embroidery machine to make her a baby quilt.  Haven't actually worked out the design yet but I'm having a lot of fun working on it.

I'M BACK AT LAST

Just when you thought I'd disappeared forever, I'm back!  Have been pretty busy but nothing really worth blogging about.  Have finished this quilt for my mother-in-law though.  It was a kit I bought at the Sydney Quilt Show last year from Homestead Selection. I stippled around the outside border but of course you can't really see that in the photo.  My mother-in-law, Helen recently turned 88.  I'm hoping this lap quilt will help get her through the cold winter in the Blue Mountains.

Have also sent a PIF gift to Illene but better wait to post pics until I hear that she received it.

Sewing day at Hetties tomorrow with my work girls etc group.  It's been ages - can't wait!  I'm working on a large scrap quilt and will be good to make some progress.
