Potted love

The pretty plant in the blue pot is called Tranquility and its in the photo with the three plants before it was repotted.

The blue trays have all my little repotted plantlets in them.

The photo of the stand with the black cats on top was taken 10 years ago when I had lots of plants and that stand is one of the largers ones. L 4'x W 2' x H 6'

African Violets are my second hobby if you have read my blog before you would have seen my plants and my little furry boy Darcy. The pretty plant in the pink pot is called Party Time.

Here is the result of a days repotting of my AV's last month on the 18th October. So here's some of my newly pot plants.

My DH is a electrican, thats why how I have a great lightstand for my AV's.

Five years ago I had a room full of these beautiful plants on three stands the other two much larger than this one.Time, family and my other craft's made me down size the growing of AV's.

Summer Dress

In the last few years it is hard to find a cool summer dress that is made of cotton or poly/cotton.

So I been shopping at Spotlight and purchase dress material and patterns and have made my first dress for a long long time.

The blue dress is made from poly/cotton blend and I have use the McCall's 9 pattern and dress G.

The weather today was 35c was just right for a cool dress.

Scrappy blocks

I have been playing around with some fabrics that I once used to make some bags and have bits left over. I have made these blocks using 2 1/2" stripes from the fabrics and hope to make a large quilt as I have lots more cut ready to sew. The blocks are 10" finished.

The blocks are fun and easy to make and have a diamond pattern when joined in the corners.

Jelly Rolls just love them.

I have just collected this set of fabrics to make my next quilt.

A beautiful Woodland Blossoms Jelly Roll, Charm Pack and border fabric to make the quilt in Patchwork and Quilting Vol.17 No. 3 made by Maree StClair.
