A Tisket,A Tasket.12 months of baskets BOM:Block Two....

As soon as I saw block two I knew I had to start on it right away.It didn't take me long to finish it only a couple of days.I like how it's turned out.But the downside is I have to wait another month before the next block is put on the site :(

A Tisket,A Tasket.12 months of baskets BOM:Block One...

This is the first block in a new BOM I've just started.I'm thinking of making the blocks into cushions rather than a quilt when I've finished them all.I love the colours I've chosen to do this first block in.
If you'd like to join in and do these blocks just click on the icon on my side bar and it will take you to the site where you can download the pattern and instructions.
Now to start on block two...

Yummy....look what I've made.....

This is the lemon cake I made with a yummy tart lemon icing for the girls at my work today.There's not much left now but the crumbs hehehe.

My mother-in-laws Christmas gift....

These are the cushions I made for my mother-in-law this Christmas.Some of the girls on the forum will recognise the pattern if they're in the sampler block swap as " birds in the air".I really liked doing this block and thought Margaret would like it too.I had a some of the floral and pink left over from the knitting caddy I made her for Christmas last year and thought I'd use them for the cushions.I then sashed them with green to bring a bit of contrast and voila two very pretty pink cushions.

More fabric for my Homespun BOM....

My sister Anne has very generously gone through her own private stash to look for some fabrics/scraps I can use in this BOM project I'm working on.I thought I'd take a photo to show you all the lovely fabrics I have now added to my pink and brown collection courtesy of her generosity.Aren't sisters wonderful I certainly think mine is one in a million!

Homespun Breast of friends BOM: Block Two....

Well here it is finally.... the second block for the Breast of friends BOM I'm doing with the girls on my forum.I think it turned out well.I'm still a bit unsure of the beads I used on the first girls necklace may be a bit big.
Anyway just let me know and I might have to replace them?

Breast of friends BOM : first block...

Wooo Hooo..... Finally I've finished the first block for the Homespun BOM.Now to get started on the 2nd!

Homespun BOM " Breast of friends" : My fabric stash

These are the fabrics I've pulled to gether to start working on the BOM being run by the Homespun magazine.The only problem I ran into was the fact I only had one piece of brown in my stash and that was a chocolate homespun.Soooo poor me had to go fabric shopping to stock up,hehehehe.
Since then a few of the girls on the forum have decided to do this as well.Vicki,denni and I have challenged each other to finish the first two blocks by febuary 15th.The other girls are going to go at their own pace.It will be interesting to see how the blocks will turn out with all the colour variations being done by everyone.
