This is now nearly completed
just need to add the bird bath
and the crushed pebbles.
My angel quilt top is coming along just great
I have finished the flying geese paper piecing
around and now have the embroidery to do and
then I can quilt it and am hoping to have it done
by the end of winter.

This is the last of the borders for
my angel quilt top and is called
paper pieced flying geese.
No time for chat have to get these done
have to do at least 210 triangles and hope
that it will be enough to go round the sides.

This is my angel quilt and am busy with

the next border which has hearts appliqued on.






This is another quilt that I started

I found this lovely website

International Friendship Quilters

and they have so many things going on but

I decided to join the "Home Sweet Home"

block of the month. Every month you get a block

to make and then have to post it in the gallery.

Great way to make a quilt and my first blocks

are what our African sunsets are like.

Busy Busy

Have been so busy trying to get all the photos up to date in
our photo album. Have just dicovered powerpoint and love it.
It takes some time to get all the photos together but hopefully
it won't take too much time away from my sewing.
Have still been busy with my angel's quilt and have added the next border
which is appliqued with hearts all round. will take a while as I
am doing all this by hand and loving every minute of it.
