Oh B*GG^R !!!

Back in September I posted that my Checkerboard days where coming to an end 'cause at the time I had two sets of jumbo pieces left in my stash. I used one set at the time, for Natalie which leaves one set right?

So WHERE IS IT?!?!?!?!?!?

I have just finished a checkerboard for our little friend Annie, who is coming over tomorrow afternoon with her parents for a BBQ. Iwas about to photograph and then wrap her present and I can't find the pieces.

It is 1.50am here and I have had to pour myself a glass of wine to calm down. Please send me your searching eyes and a Sherlock Holmes if you have one lurking around the place.

TIA,
Jodie

Santa Cushions and the Christimas Tree Saga Continues

I have made three Santa cushion covers as gifts for some quilty friends. All need to be posted off and I have really cut it fine to get them on there way. But they are done now, so this afternoon it is off to the post office.

Our Christmas tree leaned just a little bit too far by then end of last week.......

so I have borrowed my mum's. She wasn't going to put it up this year anyway. Looks pretty good I think.

Christmas is coming and packages from Norway......

Well the silly season is truly upon us. I can't believe it is so long since my last post. I have been very, very busy but nothing is finished, so I will wait a little longer before showing. However, I will tell you I have quilted Russ's quilt now, and a panel my MIL gave me. Both are waiting for the binding.


We have put up our Christmas tree (three times is fact this year! Lost count how many times last year). No it is not a strange camera angle. The tree leans that much. Dear sweet Chanel cannot leave it alone and it keeps crashing down. DH has attached it to a large piece of timber under all the tinsel so it should survive the season. Guess what I will be shopping for in the after Christmas sales?


Now onto the packages from Norway. Back in September Inga Helene showed us a new project she was working on and asked what quilting design we thought she had planned. I thought she was just asking for fun, but she sent me a package for the right answer! (BTW I guessed Cutlery). She sent me some Christmas fabric, a little basket she had made and some snowflakes! I thanked Inga Helene by email at the time, but should have thanked her publicly. I am very sorry.


The second package arrived today from May Britt. We exchanged quilt pins after a post on her blog. Three pins from Norway and two Christmas patterns. I think this is a great idea and will have to come up with a wall hanging to display them on. Anyone else want to exchange pins?? My guild doesn't meet again until January so will stock up then.

I still have not changed over to Beta blogger. Seems most of the Blogs I read have. Should I just take the plunge? What happens if I don't?
