Just Couldn't Resist!.......

Blogging has opened up a whole new world for me, and also provided me with loads more temptations.....

I have recently admired a little quilt kit Peg has just begun, and after a lovely phone chat with Tess at Homespun and Beautiful.......

.......this arrived in the mail......

......beautifully wrapped in a fat quarter.....had to stop and wonder if it was my birthday and I'd clean forgot..lol..

and tied with ribbon....made me feel very special.....looked at it for a while over a cuppa before heading for the camera to take the important bloggy photo (still in training from Chookyblue on making sure I keep the camera handy!!!)...and then this was inside......yummy.....

 ......"My Garden" by Lynette Anderson.....and a gorgeous kit assembled by Tess herself....

....my favourite blocks......

....check out the cute buttons......

.....and pop over to Peg's blog Happy in Quilting and have a look at her completed block...just lovely...

I've been busy preparing these blocks ready for some blanket stitch. Remember the books and fabric I showed you in my last post?....well here's a start......

I hope you've had a great week, and an even better weekend planned....Our closest town, Casino NSW is having the annual BEEF WEEK this weekend. We have a family day planned, and my 10yr old son is competing in the whipcracking competition.....the day culminates in a parade of floats....should be fun....

It's Great to Stitch-a-Long with others.....................

As soon as I heard about a group of ladies stitching a quilt together, their own, but at the same time, I was keen....Chookyblue signed me up ( thanks Chooky!),and I set off to buy the book, gather fabrics and get stitchin' to catch up !!!!

Here's the results so far.......I have completed the set plan for March........3 little stitcheries (there are 12 in the whole quilt).....

Oh, and I've added the borders too.....Here are some closer piccies........

I love checking out the blog to see all the various fabric choices and 'twists' on the original. Someone has posted this months blocks already.....cripes, I'd better get moving.....I've heard that Chooky cracks the whip if you slow up too much !!!!   lol....I'm off to stitch........
