The small white trading card is mine - I was shown how to do them by a dear friend... and ths was a practise one....some lovley fabrics from Janet and the three cards and some of the curtain pelln...I think thats what is called ,,,and I was so delighted with this - thank you Janet so much.

A play piece with this beautiful coloured fabric that wa in the bundle.. I drew the spines in and FMQ the rest.

and then today - this card arrived.

Its a beautiful card Janet  - I just love it. 

Thank you Janet.  Surprisingly our fiends are from about a mile from where you live

Liz and Russ are Andrea's God-parents and Russ's father has immigrated to Australia and has lived where you are Janet untill the last 18 monts.

What a coincindence.

Thanks again.

Black whole cloth Quilt

Here is some of what I have been doing in the last couple of days

This photo is more the right colour I think than the next one.

The black at night is too difficult, so it has been slow going.

I am doing the last border.  I had a problem with tension - particulartlaly with my Bernina 440 QE.  I have not used it for over a year...and I have been spoint with the Bernina 820.
 

Andrea had a few moments tonight and has made a video of me quilting some small pebbles and some echoing.

I couldnt get it to work - when I did - it wasnt nicely edited as Andrea had done it, so she will re-edit  it tonght when she gets home.
She has her first exam today - History - 3 hours.  So hoping all goes well.

Tablet design Class.

Tablet design couse with Carla Barrett ..

Step on Pins course

As you may or may not have realised - I have been missing for a couple fo weeks or more.

I have been busy with my online course with Carla and its is FANTASTIC

He is some of the latest I have done...
 

This is a panto design

First WCQ design - when I posted it to the gorup - Carla told me there were more designs there - so I wnet back and reaffanged it some.

 

Then I got this design.

I did get one more, but I thought thses were the best of them.  Not really well done, but I am learning... and the lessons are so good - we have loads of videos to watch and webinars each week - this is our last week - then I hope I will get back to some quilting,  

This is my seamless repeat with my designs.

They really are the best lessons I have had!
