To Do List Item One - Ticked

I have completed the first item on my new year to do list.  I'm pretty impressed with that!  I tried to make the edge of the quilt wiggly to tie in with the theme of this little quilt that was started at a workshop with Magie Relph and it ended up straighter than my intentionally straight edges usually are!

So now I can cross this quilt off my list

1. Quilt and finish Wiggly Nine Patch
2. Complete Sampler Quilt
3. Japanese Round and Round le Jardin Quilt
4. Ongoing projects:  kanzashi, Global Piecers swaps, BQLPC

and add a new project to the list.

1. New Zealand projects

You can see the fabrics I bought in New Zealand here and I have to say it surprised me to look back at the post and remember some of those fabrics and what I planned to create with them! 

I've also just signed up for a wonderful BOM project, like I need more projects to do :)  I just couldn't resist, go and have a look at what Jenny's offering in her wonderful "Give Thanks" BOM.

Before any of that though I have to finish my Lynne Edwards' sampler quilt...

This morning we went to the coast for a bracing walk,

followed by a great cup of well deserved coffee at the Gibraltar Point visitor centre.  Home now and off to the sewing room!  Have a relaxing Sunday afternoon and I hope you keep warm and dry, or cool, depending where you are :)

A Lovely Weekend

This is my Nine Patch with a Wiggle all layered and pinned (not to the carpet I hope) and now I need inspiration for how I'm going to quilt it.

And this is an arty shot of the bracelet I made with those recycled glass beads from Magie Relph's African Fabric shop.

Oh and don't forget my little giveaway, you've got until Wednesday to enter.  Good luck.

I've had a lovely long weekend at my bach in Norfolk, doing a lot of stitching and a lot of relaxing too.  Here are a few photos that I took in the Norfolk countryside and finally two pictures of "my" lovely beach.  Enjoy.
