Boo to you too, it's rather quiet on here today, maybe it's the cold that affecting everyone.
Coffee/tea, anyone, kettle has just boiled. Sorry no home baking.
Jumbo is out tonight so no noise is coming from that corner. I am being rather lazy tonight, no stitching and a cat sitting next to me trying to tell me to shift as I am sitting on her spot.

coalrange1 - 2012-06-07 20:49:00

No feeling rather guilty not doing anything, but I received 3 Patchwork Professional magazines from Germany today, so hehehehehe it's reading time, also keeping an eye on an auction I really would like to win if the bidding doesn't go crazy.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-06-07 21:27:00

Yep got the auction, paid a little more then I really wanted to do, but it's worth it. It's a Le Creuset casserole dish and buying them new would have cost me a lot more. So yeh I am happy with my purchase.
Mmmmmmm yummy cake, thanks.

Rather cool 0 degrees outside and it remains to be seen if we get the forcasted 18 degrees, would be nice. CHCH peeps keep warm and safe.
Have all a great day.

Good morning! Thanks skippie...I was parched. We went out last night to the young horticulturist competition wind up...dinner and ten speeches to listen to...one from each contestant. It was a great night...always is...and the winner was so surprised. It was awesome.
Today? Rinsing, washing and ironing 20ish metres of fabric so I'd better get cracking! Have a great day...

Plenty of snow left Holly. See you tomorrow lol!

wee5 - 2012-06-08 18:58:00

I've had a bit of a rubbish week at work, and tomorrow I'm all booked up with jobs to do, but hopefully on Sunday I'll get more of my blocks made!

As promised...

http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/66/219697366_full.jp
g

There's six blocks of each colour (I put one block of each colour so you could see it, and then there's a pile of blocks behind 'em). Veeery simple blocks, but still a challenge for this simple wee quilty lass! Good skills being learnt.

Have a great evening all! (Hugs and kisses to Mum!)

drommy - 2012-06-08 21:43:00

Well done drommy, lovely blocks and really cool colours.
Coallie, here is an auction for you to look at.482026163 thought you might be interested to see what it sells for, or anybody who might be interested in buying it.

(Amy shuffles her feet in a slightly ashamed fashion)

Holly, I bought a kit. It came with the fabric and the pattern and instructions for quilty beginners, and I'm following them diligently (and ticking 'em off once I'm done). Next time I'm home I'll beg Jumbo for dye-ey instructions but until then I'll learn the quilting side of things!
