Look at this!

I'm not advertising.......



Isn't it funny how this delivery guy could get here with a big van full of these telephone books....just what we need?????

Where's the guy with the tanker full of diesel for the tractors and kerosene for the Aga and central heating?????

Forgot to mention!

I saw these guys hanging around!



I think they are taking it easy while they can!

To brighten up your day!

Minus 19 degrees in the Scottish Borders today.....warm and cozy in here....maybe.......



My mystery un-ravelled.... anyone following my blog would recognise this as Kristina's High Desert Mystery......my Granddaughter needed a fleece backed quilt...in the end I didn't use fleece so Fieron is now in the process of making her own quilt...good for her....



All along I was thinking it was a little too bright for my liking.....but....on a day like today this quilt just warms the cockles of your heart......could just climb in and stay there all day.....I love it......




The quilt finished at 82 inches square. I used a circle template for the centre of the blocks, SID, ruler work for the SouthWestern/Aztec looking sections and of course feathers.....it's batik front and back...peiced up the back with the left over fabric....Pellon Legacy 80/20 and Metro thread!



Piano keys and egg and dart in the borders....

The back.....





Are there plenty of photos yet?




Lot's of definition.....




I think that Fieron had better quickly make her own quilt so that I can keep this one?????



Here's the pillow sham that Fieron peiced herself...I put on the borders and quilted it.... Doesn't it looks great.....


Now back to quilting and on to the next one...lol....!
