My Helper Darcy

The bag behind Darcy has the wool I purchased at the Quilt Show in July have started knitting but again time gets away maybe I will have the cardigan finished by next winter.

The wool is a lovely blue a bit darker than this photo.

Cooking Day

Today has been a cooking day again...

Tuesday is a day that I try to stay home and cook.

I love soup and here is my Pea and Ham soup cooking with a ham rib showing in the pot

DH loves my Banana Muffins.

I use a pack of Woolies Homebrand Butter Muffin Mix and add one or two fresh banana's. Mix well. Yummy!!

Quilts

Its been sometime since I have blogged been busy with life!!!!!

As always there is housework, looking after the Males in my life and the furry ones to.

I have been finishing UFO's and I have finished piecing a Christmas Present that is now at Hobbysew waiting to be quilted.

So looking good.

The UFO I finished is a lap quilt made with log cabin blocks and I unpicked the block and rearranged them so now there is no need to do any applique in the centre of each block.

Here is the what the block started as (This block is from a completely different quilt but its shows how I changed the pattern) and now here is the finished quilt. The last photo shows the quilting close up. I pick a lovely paisley pattern using blue thread.
