A minture quilt!!

As a lot of my friends know I prefer doing all my stitching by hand. Now when I watched this tiny quilt being made on you. tube, I decided to give my sewing machine a nice test to see if I would be able to get this done. Well I must say it was such fun to do and I did this in a day. Thanks to Sue Bouchard for sharing this cute pattern with me.  Its called the Card Trick block and she has made the instructions so easy and even myself have found to be easy very easy. So now I have to do the same one just in a smaller mini and also the pattern is available from her site. So once again thanks Sue for sharing this wonderful easy instruction pattern with me.

Busy as always!!!!

This is a Sunbonnet Sue quilt I made many years ago in  the hope of handing it down to
a granddaughter. Well a few years down the line, I have 4 handsome grandsons and no granddaughter.
So I have decided to donate this to a charity of my choice and see if they could generate some needed funds.

This is the back of my quilt and I am still working on my fusion quilt "Romance in Paris"
Have 50 blocks joined and now onto the next 50!!!

Main fabric blocks on the front and you can see where I got the theme from!

Tonic having a peek at the new quilt

Here is the first half of my quilt and I will be adding these pretty crocheted\
forms in the open blocks.

My fairy garden now completed so far but never know
 when some other member will come for a visit or stay!

Coco says Hi!!

needs to have daily!!

Lucky also says Hi!!!

Fusion Quilt and and !!!




Still working on this quilt and have to still do the blanket st around 25 blocks and Also finished the work around the 50 front facing blocks. So not far to go now.



 Found this lovely applique photo on the internet, sigh I am not good at drawing such lovely things. So thanks to all the designers who allow us to use these wonderful patterns. Am going to use this for a lovely baby quilt that I am making for a family member. Will have to use soft colors which is a bit difficult for me as I love working with bright very bright colors.




This is how far I have got with my fairy house and will be working again on it soon. Just need to get some red paint for the door and roof. hehehehe I just love RED!!!!
