Bits & Pieces!! & UFO # 2

I hope you had a chance to view some of the shows on The Quilt Show this weekend. I managed to get a couple in but that was all. I spent today setting up for the Wholesale Show tomorrow as well as attend a lunch / lecture related to selling to the public.

Yesterday I spent some time cleaning up my email accounts. Then tonight I realized that I hadn't been very prompt replying to some recent comments made on my blog. Of course, by that time, I had to go and reply on each post as the old emails were gone. So, in case you are wondering if that person ever responds to comments . . . yes, I do, but if you were missed, please check back on my past posts as I commented there. Does that make sense? GRIN - I hope so. Anyway, you are very important to me as I love receiving your comments.

Here's another UFO that was completed last week. A friend gave me this piece of Christmas fabric as few years ago. I thought it was about time to make it into a mug rug for next December. I did some stitching around the squares and rectangles.

Enjoy!

Linky Tuesday

Today I joined up with Linky Tuesday on Freemotion By The River! So far, 39 quilters have posted about what they are doing in quilting. Quite a variety of projects. Hop over to have a look.

I'm working on some pieced birds. It's very liberating as there's no measuring, just rotary cutting and sewing. Yes, quite a departure for me from my regular work. I'll post photos soon. You might also see a wonky row house or two.

What a Bummer!

I have been so faithful blogging everyday since January 1st that it wasn't until I just posted about my recent fabric purchase that I realized I missed posting yesterday! What a bummer!

Oh, well, stuff happens. Here's a few more photos of inspiration I took a few days ago. I can see some hand stitching using these colours or machine stitching on coloured organza and cutting the flowers out and adding them to a piece of work. I did that for the poppies in the commissioned piece, Back Garden found HERE.

Enjoy!

Interesting Things!

February is finally over (at least it will be at midnight). This is a short month and this is a very short post for me. However, having said that, it took me a long time to look at all the interesting photos at Interesting Things. They may not be textile based but I thought I'd share them with you anyway. Sometimes it good to get entirely away from the familiar.


Enjoy!
