I am in awe of those bloggers out there who manage to post an entry in their blog every other day. I don't know how they do it. I keep waiting to finish a project or have something interesting happen so I'll have something to say but it takes too long.
So............ even though i haven't finished anything, i have managed to make some progress and keep busy.
This past week :
- I have been diligently working on my Butterfly Garden mini blocks and now have 1 to do, 1 to finish and 1 that needs re-doing (not that it's that bad but enough that it will bug me if i don't do it again ).
- I also signed up for my first blog based swap. The pincushion swap hosted by Linda at All Stitched Up.
- My eldest daughter turned 11 ( wow only another 18 months and she'll be starting highschool !)
This is a wall hanging designed by Christine Book and Danielle Carey called Beneath our Southern Sky. I was feeling very homesick (and patriotic too) a lot of the time we were living in Switzerland so this was my attempt to bring some Aussie-ness to our apartment. I managed to get it about 3/4 quilted before we came home to Australia and of course that it how it has remained. I really should add it back on to my "things to finish" list.

You make me feel old my youngest is 19 today. How long did you live in Switzerland? It is such a beautiful country.
That is a beatiful quilt...so please add it to your list!!
Lovely quilt Nic. Don't you just love reminding yourself to get things finished ...
Hi Nic,
I met you at Quilt Camp and today discovered your blog, thanks to Lynda's blog. I love it! Great pix and lovely work. Do you recall the origin of the pattern for the wall hanging, on the right-hand bar of your blog? The one with the dog + cat + etc. I'd love to do this one.
Take care and hope to see you again,
michelle
