Sewing Again


I've dusted off the sewing machine and started to sew. I had in mind I would make this for my nephew Daniel, but first I will see how it turns out, I think. If it isn't too girly I'll give it to him. I have a lot more blues and yellows and greens to go in it, so maybe it will be ok.


This is Bricks and Stones from the Quiltville site and as you can see I have only just started really. But I plan to not muck around with it and get it finished without delay. On that note though, I have 2 nights of work now, so next week I will finish it, I SWEAR.


Hope you all had a nice Christmas - I had a low key day which was very nice. Caught up with all the rellies over the break. Mum and Dad gave me a $50 voucher for my favourite quilt store, so that will be fun to spend.


Otherwise nothing to report - the weather has been quite pleasant, not too hot for a change. We have also had some rain, thrashed the Poms at cricket, and I am still plodding on with the hexagons...

    I'm sure he'll think it's great-is this the "favourite" who slept over and liked your quilts??

    The quilt doesn't look too girly to me. I like the accents in black and white.

    Your quilt will be great for a boy, IMHO. :) Wonderful colors there, girl! I wish ALL I had to do was dust off the machine...oh my goodness, that "stewdio" is in a real stew! LOL Happy New Year!

    I really like the black and white fabric. I am sure your nephew will love it.

    The weather here in Chicago is so warm (40s). Almost a heat wave.

    Love it Jenni! I think it will work out great. As you know I am a fan of brights for kids quilts!
