November !!!


Where has the last month gone - what with Halloween and  bonfire night and baby sitting and illnesses (not mine) and one thing and another I just have not got round to blogging!






I have been sewing - I found a panel of Christmas placemats - easy sewing - so I am getting on with them.  Also I have taken up the challenge from Thamesiders and have been busy hand sewing that.  I also decided to try out Pam and Nicky Lintotts book on Jellyrolls and make one of the quilts from there with the fabric given as a freebee when re-subscribing to one of the magazines.




I have now finished this top and it is waiting for me to put the wadding and the backing on and do the quilting.  This fabric is very 'manish'  not just because of the dark colours but also because it has golf as it's theme.  Golf balls and tee's and people playing golf and all the Argyle patterens that the men wear on their socks and sweaters.

















At a day spent with some friends one weekend I made these dear little balls in Christmas fabric and they will be hung on my Christmas tree eventually!
