Ruth's Quilt.

Hi, Isn't it great that it's Friday. I had a little drive in the country yesterday to meet a client and whilst driving I thought......fantastic it's Friday!.....sleep in tomorrow etc...Then the harsh blow of reality....it's only Thurs. Don't you hate that.

But, anyway it's friday today and I am happy about that.

Today I am sharing a project I started back in March (yes, it was this year!!)

Ruth's Quilt, designed by Leanne Beasley. This is my second Ruth's Quilt. The first was a wedding present for my brother. I have decided to have a red/green theme this time. The last one I made in reds, greens, browns and pinks.

Have a great weekend, Kristyx

That's Me!

A few months ago myself and 2 friends got together to make Leanne Beasley's Quilter's Journal. What fun we had! They came out so well. Being the slacker that I am, I am yet to finish mine. I will post a pic of my journal soon. For those of you that have never seen the quilter's journal here is a link.

I was so suprised to see the latest 'Homespun' magazine. My friend Sarah had emailed a pic of our crafting session to the mag. So here we are.

In a bind!

Finally, I am sewing down the binding on Leanne's House Bom. I thought this day would never come. I am already day dreaming about which project I am going to work on next. Really I need to knock a few UFO's over before I can begin on a new project. I will show a few yet to be finished projects in my next blogs. I must say I am pretty pleased to be nearing the end of this one. Do you get like that when you have been working on something for a long time?

Till next time

Take care, Kristyx

One tiny stitch at a time.

Hi, I am up early for work this morning. Why is it when you have a few days off (4) that you think you are going to accomplish so much? I have done bugger all apart from housework.

I did manage to get within minutes of finishing the hand quilting on my 'Leanne's House' BOM. I am so excited. It looks great if I do say so myself. So hopelfully sometime this week I will get the binding on and a label for the back. I have so enjoyed making this one. The best instructions ever.

Then once this is done I will move onto another UFO. I am about 2/3 of the way through quilting a large quilt made from wuthering heights fabric.

Here is a pic of the new cupboard for my bedroom. I have a better pic but I can't figure out how to get it up the right way. This techno stuff gets me every time. lol

Sorry this pic is a little blurry...had 13 yo daughter Lauren take the photo.

After investigating as to why every photo was blurry, it was discovered that her lens was "grubby". LOL

Til' next time. Kristyx
