Good morning, from a foggy Hamilton.
Lovely work by you all, Skippie that quilt is going to be lovely.
Ness love the tops.
I have been busy sewing a raggy quilt for a baby, but it is too pink for a boy so am going to give it to the baby unit at the hospital.
Also been stitching my hexies, recieved some lovely fabric from wee and Coalie.
Wee hope you get some time to yourself today and that all the family is better.
Off to work, must earn some pennies so I can continue my stitching.

morning girls, it looks like its going to be a beautiful sunny day once the chill warms up down here.
todays project is to take a pattern for a poncho style cowl neckline top and try to turn it into one with sleeves and a cowl neckline....wish me luck.
if all else fails I can always use any boo-boo bits for the kids. Im quite liking this new clothing carry on, I hardly ever get myself something new so I feel rather spolit right now with my "designer, one-offs" lol

Holly, teach them young and they'll never forget.
Shell, I love granny blankets, I have made two, one for myself. The one I did for my sister I used wool from my mothers stash that I had carted back to NZ. I had started that blanket when I was sitting with my mother in her last week with us, so was kinda special. Ha I just remembered did a real scrap blankie for grandie no 2 as she also loves to cuddle under a woollen blanket.
All those cute grandies are growing up to fast, they are so special.

Oh man...I missed out on a lot of stuff last night...I was soooo tired that I was in bed before 10!
Happy belateds to birthday peoples...and dilli I hope your daughter's day improved. River dance? Easy! All you do is keep your arms by your side and dislocate your knees and hips so that you can toss them all over the place. If anyone wants a demo I am willing...except that NZ might tip into the sea with the jolting. Maybe chch has had enough already!
Have a great day all...see you later ron!!!!
