With cat

I wasn't sure about this top when I finished it ages ago, I like it a lot more now it is quilted and bound.
Kaboodle was determined to get in this photo - but at least this picture has her face and not her bum....(almost anyway)

Two for the price of one

Two Bonnie Hunter patterns: Wonky Wishes blocks with a dancing nine patch setting.
Our kitchen tiling is nearly finished so Mark insisted the photo show some of the tiles. Scarlett had to be in the photo too, and bottom left is Penny's disappearing bum.....

It's official - I'm a stalker....

Festival of Quilts today and who did I meet?...... BONNIE HUNTER!!!!
She was lovely - very chatty. I normally go to FoQ on Sunday (quieter) but I knew Bonnie was going today so I went a day early. I spotted her when I was in the queue to go in first thing in the morning and I was so excited I think the lady next to me thought I was having a fit.... she looked at me a bit weird so I had to point out Bonnie Hunter and explain my hero worship. I squeezed through the queue (very politely) so I could speak to her and ask for a photo.... She was lovely and I spoke to her again in the day when I saw her walking round. I sent Mark the photo on my phone and he called me a stalker...... Mission accomplished!

Busy, busy, busy

A thread catcher - found the pattern on someone's blog but struggled with it, even with pictures.... I must have known I was going to struggle with it - I cut some of my strips from an advent calendar I bought in a sale as I wanted the cat pictures from it- waste not, want not.
Yesterday I went to a workshop at Threads and Patches in Milton Keynes - only a small workshop - 2pm until 4.30 pm but all materials were supplied and it only cost £7.50. Even got a cup of tea. The workshop was to make a mug caddy which I finished in the afternoon apart from hand sewing the binding down and I've just got to go over the stitching of the Velcro on my machine. Good stuff.
