Auditioning......................

Am still happily making blocks with my Tulla Pink "Parisville" jelly roll but am getting towards the end now & starting to think about the layout of the quilt...........

This is the "positive/negative" layout

This is the "strips" layout
I think I'm leaning towards the postive/negative layout or I may even try completely random - what do you think?

I have some time to ponder - we are taking a family break on Monday to a  holiday camp with Lianne & her family - I can't wait - the kids are going to L - O - V - E (!!!!!) it. And I have to say, if the weather stays as it is, it could well be the best decision we made

Busy few days!

I've been incredibly busy in my job which is always a blessing in January. This has left me wiped out come the evening, however, and less sewing has been done this week.

That said, I have started stitching the comic strips to go on James' Block of the Month quilt. Boy, this is going to take a looooooooooooooong time! That said, it's nice to have something to curl up infront of the telly and do without having to haul out machines, cutting mats, rulers, iron & ironing board etc etc each night


My stitching is straight - honest - The photo was rather rushed this evening..........

Yesterday I had the urge to finally paint J & A's table & chair set from good ole' IKEA. So, I nipped to Homebase and got the necessary paint etc and this is the result (have to say am rather pleased with this!!)



They are also very pleased with their new table, although every time I wipe up after food, James asks me if I'm trying to wipe the paint off - so cute.

Finally, look what came in the post for me Friday:


Tulla Pink's Parisville. I loved this line but simply could NOT justify buying any more fabric after my spending spree. So, I settled for a Jelly Roll. Am sure I can make something nice out of it - I have a few ideas up my sleeve.................watch this space!!
