A change!

I have decided to make my url a bit easier and now its quiltysue.blogspot.com and it will be so much easier if asked for it. 

A sad goodbye!!!!!!!

Had to say goodbye to this sweet cat Tonic yesterday. She was 17 yrs old and was a very loving cat. She shared to much ups and downs with us.                                                                                                        
 Now back to daily life, hehehehe!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I need to remember to add hashtags to all my posting to show who had inspired my projects. I want to show respect to the designers whom show us their wonderful designs and also allow us to use it. I only use all the items I make for myself and no selling here. It takes too much time to make and people don't really want to pay for all the work that goes into handcrafts. Well I can't afford all the lovely designs I see. Have bought a few patterns and also many quilt mags though. But somehow I just start following the chosen pattern and then change the whole thing to my tastes and continue from there my own style. But one has to have good manners and give thanks to the designers of the original patterns.                      

                                                                                                                                                                       This is a project I started and its such fun.

  I worked out the templets myself and then made them. Let me see its from

I am also using a combination of  Da Gama Three Cats fabrics and lots of fabrics that have been gifted and in my stash.

Hope I have done this correct!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Crochet octopus !!!!!

Ok 8 octopus done and onto 9th. I want to complete all the balls of wool and then finish them up!

Added 2 more of these! Will do some embroidery when l have a few more done! Don't know where l am going with these but am enjoying making them!

Had to make venison pies, hubby cooked the meat. Also put the mixture onto dough but did not clean his fingers when closing them so l have spots of meat all over the pies. But sure are tasty!

Last one!

This is using up last of crochet threads that has been around for while. A shawl done. Now l have lots of small balls of crochet cotton left. These get used for embroidery and big stitch quilting. 

More slow stitching done.

Some more slow stitching done this week. I hate blanket stitching but had to do the pink piece with it. There was not enough fabric between shapes to do needle turn applique.

Bit of slow stitching!

Made these hexigons just to test. Its really nice and l can use my House of Embroidery threads and fabric that l have collected over the years! Will see where these take me. A double bed

Quilt maybe!
