Busy busy

I have been very busy trying to finish the 12mini quilts and have to put my sewing into slow motion as I need to get the housework up to date and also get ready for a visit with friends. I will be painting the diningrooom this week and also try to get the kitchen cupboards done too.

Here are the last three of the series of mini calender quilt blocks from the Craftwise magazine here in South Africa. Now I just have to finish them and then post them early. Hope they will like the gift and use it.

This is a quilt I made with matching pillows and also made some golly wogs. Just love them, they have the most gorgous smiles. Also made a raggedy ann and they keep each other company.


I have finished painting my kitchen walls and will start the cupboards soon, maybe next week. Am exhausted from all the climbing on the ladder and down. I have painted the wall a Plascon beige called saswatch and am going to paint the cupboards poppy red. Love the combination. I must have something painted in my favorite color.

Had a very uneventful day, had to pay the bills and have started with my October block. I will not be doing much sewing tomorrow as I have to get the kitchen painting done. Hubby hinted that he hopes it will not take forever to get done. hahaha dont like such hints.

September

This is the September block with folded flowers and it is a new technique for me. It is easy and all I need now is buttons to sew in the centre.
Am going to show the Chicks this new technique. We have a blog site now www.thechicks.iblog.co.za Please feel free to view what we are doing!!!!
