Afternoon One & All

I have been in town (Toowoomba) all day today and my feet are protesting to the amount they had to walk.

The few times I do venture into town i park the car and walk to do all my bits and pieces.

I do go grocery shopping each week as it is to hard to buy enough

food for my lot any more than this.

One of the places I had to go was "spotlight" to get some more material

for Christmas presents.

I am known to get a a bargin now and again ,

and did I get one today.

See this quilters fabric below? well I picked it up cheap.

The checked one was $3 a metre and the rest were $8 a metre.......... plus.........

if you bought 1 mtr you got one free, that's right ladies.

(I think I just lost a lot of readers they are in there cars now and heading for the closest spotlight)

The red material is the same as in DILs quilt and I needed some more of that.

The plain pink one is to bind my quilt and the others............who cares

it was cheap and I know I will use them.

.

Here is a sneak peak at Karen's my DIL blocks, they are all mixed up as Karen reads my blog

and I don't want to give to much away.

You will have to wait until after Christmas to see the finished quilt.

Now that I have learnt to put a quilt together I am finely going to

make up these blocks. They have sat in the cupboard for years and I never got to finish the class as baby No 6 came along. Yes I no that was 10 yrs ago.

I am going to make into into a single bed quilt for that No 6 child.

Here is my top all together all to do know is put the wadding in it and the backing and quilt it.

That,s the fun part I can do that no worries.........




Well I need to go and water the vege garden and pick some greens for tea.
I hope you all had a great day.
