I can't believe it is so long since I posted. I knew it was awhile, but never dreamed it was so many months ago.
I have been very busy making a very large quilt.
I managed to sneak down to my studio every morning at about 6am, so I didn't wake my DH to make a block, which took some time. No templates, just cutting random sizes to end up with a 16" block. Totally unplanned scrappy.
I also bought a Mystery Quilt kit from Quilters Lane in NZ. I don't normally buy kits, but as I loved the Anna Maria Horner fabrics, and am not used to this style of using bold fabrics, I thought it was a good way to get started. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting the fabric, PRECUT I might add, each month, and stitching them up, not knowing how it would end up.
In the meantime, I have been knitting and have made these little gifts for my Great Grand-daughter, due in April.
I have also made these six bibs, which turned out pretty good. Right and wrong side showing.
An update: I found out 6 months ago, that two grand-daughters are expecting babies. The youngest girl due in late March, and her older sister due in April.
So, I had to get on with making a couple of baby quilts. I don't go to alot of effort for these, as I hope they will get thrashed in the washing machine. Their first bed quilts I take alot of time and effort over.

I ended up making 3 baby quilts, so now have one in storage until needed.
The babies have been born, so I will write about that next time.
Bye for now
