A Return to Simplicity.

Today is a day off on a new roster starting this week. I have been allowed to trial working only 4 days a week instead of 5 ! I was sooo excited when this was approved as I had been asking for about two years to reduce my hours. So after doing the necessary things around the house I am going to watch a movie and do some more stitching on my latest project. I saw this quilt at Wendy's  and fell in love with it immediately and set about looking for the first block in Homespun magazine,  Christmas in July issue back in 2012 ! Lucky for me DD has a subscription and she able to find it easily. The rest of the blocks are on-line. Of course I started on block 2 as I really, really love that camel ! I don't know about anyone else, but I so want to add eyelashes !!! I have also finished the next block of Beauty by Jenny of Elefantz  and I think we only have a super cute lady bug to go and the main blocks are completed. Here are some more birth...

I had a lovely birthday with my family, but the surprises just keep coming in the post. So I thought I had better do an update of the lovely FQ's I have received. I am spoilt for choice! From Maureen From LeAnne From Maryanne From Narelle Look at the delicious cake on the envelope...good enough to eat! From Helen S From Janet From Barb From Sandra Thanks everyone for your wishes and gifts, now to make something of this lot of goodies ! !

I have put other things aside and started making the Star Wars quilt for Dylan.  Central Blocks, Boba Fett, Yoda, Luke, Chewbacca, Storm Trooper and of course Darth Vader. The light  fabric is actually blue !! Middle panel is all done and now for the borders ! Enough for today, time to cook tea !
