Pictures!

Am feeling so much better today that the sewing machine was in action. Finally. Head has slowed down the production of snotter, and the whole family seems to be on the up again after the latest assault on our immune systems, so there was some spare energy for cutting today YAY.

Started a friend's quilt today, commission for a wedding, and we're going with hearts and Irish chain, simple but v effective. Simple once I figured out the heart piecing. Maybe brain still not functioning 100%...

Here's the evidence anyway:


The background of the chain IS the same as the heart, just bad lighting and night time photos dont help. Cool though, eh? And am v chuffed with the accuracy of the squares - seems practice does make perfect. And paying attention and taking it slowly does no harm at all.

not given up

Have been madly busy. 2 p/t jobs and the house/child/husband to look after, and am just about to lose it. Luckily the 2 jobs become one from Saturday and we've just booked a few days away. Can not wait. Havent touched a thread of my 2 commissions, but am optimistic (well, why not?).
Its all good from February. Honest.

:D
