Decided on the UFO




Tomorrow at Club Quilt I have decided to do a UFO...these blocks I am ashamed to say I did quite a few years ago...but it is time to finish this little baby off....this one is called "Sweet Dreams"...hopefully tomorrow I will have it together....
Above is another of those kits I have lying around this one is called "Remember When"...purchased at Cottage On The Hill.....what a day today has been, have achieved heaps, but not as much as I would have liked....still a few hours left though....

Beautiful blogging people....




Very rarely I am speechless...but this morning I was...my lovely delivery lady delivered a parcel to me at work...thinking it was something for our Sanity Savers....but oh no it wasn't...it was for me and it was from Nicolette...who unfortunatley is not blogging at the moment...Nicolette has truly touched my heart with this very generous gift...but what she had written in the card, now that, actually bought tears to my eyes....you are beautiful Nicolette.....

True Confessions....



I..."Happy In Quilting" have a problem....not a bad one, but it is one....
I love fabric...I love kits....now when I buy kits I have the best intention of making them up....but do I....no....I look at them instead, I have this little stash in my sewing room that is getting bigger and bigger....so why don't I make them up...they look so nice in their packaging....but I think this year...no more, this must finish....so I thought I might share with you over the next few days some of my "stash"....this one is "Fresh Cut"...Heather Bailey which I purchased thru Cottage On the Hill...yes a couple of years ago...I have been looking at it for that long....OK....has anyone else out there with a similar problem..?? ..now you must be honest.....
