Busy, busy, busy - here is block 3!

Since I have finished City and Guilds, I can now stitch for pleasure, so therefore I am grabbing the opportunity with both hands [well it would be rude not to, wouldn't it??????]

Anyway, this is block 3 [sorry about the quality of the photo], again there is an border to go around the bear and the heart blocks but I am going to do those when the blocks are stitched together.

Happy Stitching!

Block 2

This is the second block from 'The Button Club', which is a mystery quilt by Lynette Anderson.  Their is a little border to go around the snowman and the heart blocks, but I thought I would wait until I have sewn the blocks together and then I get it in the right place!

I have got the buttons from Fobbles, a lovely patchwork shop in the lakes, click here to go their website.  I also bought the fabric from there and I love the choice of colours and fabric.

I have just received pack 4 in the post, so my mission this week is to get up to date with them.

Random Quilt

I have been working on this random quilt for what feels like forever, but finally today, I have finished sewing it together, attached the border and got it layered up [with thanks to the very special ladies at Lesley's Quilt Group in Oswaldtwistle - couldn't have done it without you!].

All I have left to do now is quilt it and add the binding, so I am hoping that this wont take too long!
