First Public Airing

Hello Everyone,

Here it is at last. Please bear with me while I get the hang of this blogging lark. Anyone that knows me will know that I eat, sleep and breathe needlework related things so, hopefully, I will get to show you just what I get up to.

This past year I have been keeping a monthly list of things to do and then crossing them off as they have been done. Some with great satisfaction I may add but, more often than not, there is not enough month and not enough ticks. Must try harder next year.

I have been following with interest postings from various blogs of the lovely baskets quilt from Blackbird Designs and the book When The Cold Wind Blows. Here is my first offering - only 299 to go

I have made a bet with my daughter Sarah that I will finish it for this time next year!! Watch this space.

Last week at my patchwork group, Apple County Quilters we had a secret santa and this is what I made. I loved it and I think Juliet was pleased with it too. Not such a secret santa as she knew I had made it.

May have to make another for myself. The pattern and tutorial came from Flower Garden blog.
