I would also like to

Only buy fabric for backings or to complete a specific project

......

um, hi...

"tap" "tap"

is this thing on??

Whew, can't believe it's 2015

Where did last year go?

Quilting, illness diagnosis, drs and specialist appointment and quilting.

Can't forget that a grandson entered the family

 Also quilted, sewed, hand pieced.

Demonstrated hexagon English paper piecing four times, finished the second Insanity quilt top in Kaffe Fassett fabrics

Finished three quilts for me.  Disappearing 4 patch in Terra Australis fabrics, Omigosh in Civil War repros and my own design, Nana's Pansies.














 Nana's Pansies and a ball I made for my grandson won prizes at Pakenham Show


All my kids and grandchildren got together in September (eldest daughter, and her family traveled a LONG way to get here)

Other than that there was the usual family stuff, a broken arm (Mr 11), birthdays, school camps, kids growing up way too fast..

I'm looking forward to 2015 being a little quieter so I can quilt and blog


Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts
