Blue and White UFO

This started out as a calendar BOM from the Magic Patch,  half way through the  magazine became unavailable, at the time I didn't have a clue how it was to be put together or what the other cottages were like.  I decided to make crazy blocks to place between them but I still have more to make if I'm going to square it off.  Or I could cut the crazies in half put one block on the back and make it into a knee rug. Or I could make more of both the cottages and the crazy and make a throw.  I'm not sure if I like the stark whiteness  of the house blocks.   You can see now why its a UFO.  Any ideas would be welcome.

Past projects and UFOs

I haven't always taken a photo of quilts I've made,  its a case of I'll do it later and as most of you know  later never actually comes.  lol.    When I started this blog I was working on a calendar quilt that was in a magazine called Magic Patch.  I had been getting it from its first issue  but for whatever reason the newsagent could no longer obtain it as it wasn't being supplied to Australia, I made some crazy blocks to place between each block but need to be imaginative and design blocks to replace the ones I missed out on.  Magic Patch did eventually come back into the shop but was a different format and simply no longer appealed to me.  you can see the blocks I made in you scroll down. Tomorrow I'll photo the crazy blocks then you can tell me if they are going to be to over powering.

Wall hanging made from hand dyes and tone on tones that wasn't quite what I'd intended it to look like so I put  dolphins swimming on it to make it just right,  it keeps getting fishy things added to it by others.   It was made a few years ago from a book about hand dying, I no longer have it so can't give you the name.

Once upon a time.

I had this blog, its taken me a couple of hours to actually get into it since I couldn't remember the email or the password. . Well it all started well, but as the name applies I have so many interests that doing the blog sort of fell by the wayside, its not that I have a lot of time to blog as I haven't actully worked out how to sew and blog at the same time. I have so many projects I want to finish and so many more still in my head, but now another problem has arrived. It started when I found this wonderful site last year, probably about the time I stopped blogging here LOL, result is two more quilts on the go. Now she has this web hopping thingy on, what can I say. now I just need to do some cleaning up and some deleting on here, renew the templates, get rid of stuff not working any more and with luck you should see some new stuff here before the start of next year. Hmmm, sounds like what I need to do in my sewing room.
