They decided to share!

This photo was taken the evening before i finished binding my newest quilt:

freshly washed and just just out of the dryer (i had to remove all of that cat fur somehow!)

And it is going to live right here, on the rocking chair in my sewing room:
EDITED - i just went on a search and confirmed that this was a mystery quilt posted at fabricaholicsanonymous in August 2009 and was created by Ann M. Smith

Yep, I'm still breathing!

Well, it's been a while since my last post (oops!). I have been sewing and will post photos in the next couple of days.

I have finished quilting my Summer 2009 mystery quilt, I tied it by machine. It has been bound and i ran it through the washing machine last night.

I have also FINALLY finished the top of the memory quilt I am making for a friend, hopefully I will get it pinned tomorrow at my quilting group. The quilt is a bit different to what I planned initially... I had all of the blocks ready to sew together, I spread them out on the table and decided that I didn't like the layout! So my plans changed and I am happy with it now

Outside My Window...
A dark autumn evening, cool but not too cold

I am thinking...

I'm pretty happy with what I managed to achieve in the garden today

I am thankful for...

My Mum and Dad, I am really lucky to have them and I count my blessings daily

From the kitchen...

Toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich, mmmm the perfect meal to end today!

I am wearing...

My nighty

I am creating...

A memory quilt for my friend (I will get it finished one of these days lol)

I am going...

To enjoy the evening - surfing the web, watching a bit of tv and maybe do a little quilting

I am reading...

"White witch, black curse" by Kim Harrison

I am hoping...
To finish quilting a quilt this weekend

I am hearing...
Some annoying ad on tv and the central heating humming away

Around the house...
Things are quiet, the lights are dimmed and I am enjoying a restful evening in my craft room

One of my favorite things...
Putting the final stitches in the binding on a quilt (by machine of course!)

I remember...
playing bobs-and-statues with a close friend of mine when we were children, this memory popped recently up as I watched her oldest child play the bobs-and-statues at a recent birthday party

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
