So what`s new pussycat? I`m still suffering with a horrible head cold, sore throat and cough and so no sewing happened over the weekend.
I did however book flights back to England over the holidays for a mammoth 4 weeks for Zaki and me!
Yesterday, I made this block...
so that it could become scrappy mates with this block...
and today,while I continued to wait for fabric to arrive, I made the trees and scrappy border for the top of my tablerunner for Susan`s swap...I know my partner likes trees and a palette of reds, greens and blues. It still needs a star, which will be in the centre of the tablerunner. Go on. Try and imagine it. If the fabric doesn`t arrive tomorrow I`ll be continuing without it. Come on postie - there`s a deadline approaching!
I also found out that I`m not only in the Do. Good Stitches Bee (which makes quilts for children in need) but I`m a quilter and so every 5 months I`ll be responsible for planning a quilt, coordinating the making of the blocks and then making up the quilt. And if that wasn`t exciting enough, I`m in the Care hive (which provides quilts for local charities) with amongst other lovely ladies, Cindy, Kat and Karen who I hope I can call bloggy friends after meeting them through various swaps. Win. Win. Win.
What`s new with you?
What`s new with you?
again, sorry if I haven`t responded to your emails or visited as much as I usually do but if I can shake off this cold I`ll be back!

Oh poor you - rotten luck having a cold. Hope you can shift it soon.
Your blocks looks so good. I'm wishing Danny would hurry up and finish re-doing our bathroom so I can have a shot of trying to quilt.
