OOOoo so lovely

Ooooo I dont know about any of you but I am a huge fan of Bronwyn Hayes designs.
I have made several of them and enjoy every minute stitching them.
Here is the link to her new bom (block of the month) and I am going to stitch them for sure.

Hope this works as I am not very good at links.

hall up a lot. heheheh
All the items at the back are all
my own work.On either side over the tables
is a friend's quilts, she prefers
machine stitching. I am totally
hand stitching.
The centre table has a few mini quilts
done by Pauline van Blerk.

Lots done today!!!!!



I have been very busy today and did quite a bit of things around the house. Been working on getting these dolls dressed before winter, which seems it is never going to come.
I even burnt my fingers when thinking of other stuff and not concentrating on taking a roasted chicken out of the oven. hehehehe
I also got to help a friend that wants to get to know how to work a computer and that is very interesting
because then I also have to think about it too. We do not have any training institution around here. So its a case of helping each other.

Got all these sets finished
today
Two dolls left
to keep me company

Ready to be dressed

Hubby's parents photo is
