Over at Dawns blog  she is asking the big question….What’s Your Name and Why…..

so if you were wondering how some of the blog names have come about pop over and check out some of the links on Dawn’s post…

some very interesting stories….

mine is simple….when I first started to quilt, my boys all thought it was a bit of a joke that their mum sewed….

I was the lady who never mended anything, if a hem was down I had been known to staple it, or even use sticky tape to keep it up……

and it was easier to throw it out than to try and repair it…….(I am still not that good on the mending)

here's my story…..

One day my number two twin, number three son was asked “what’s mum doing”…and the answer was ‘she is quiltin (no g),’

and then it was followed by ‘she's happy when she’s quilin”….

so that is how I called my blog “Happy In Quilting”…(with a g)….

have a fab Thursday

Take Care Peg……

TTS

 

 

 

I decided to give my TTS a wash and put it thru the dryer, to give it the ‘crinkled’ look….I do like this look…

so here it is…..ready to hang…

Happy Monday

Take care Peg…

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home

TTS…..

A bit of quilting…

and a bit more….

and a bit more….

add the bind….

and the last stitch in the bind….

at 5.40 on Saturday the 1st October (I am sure it was still the 30th Sept somewhere) I completed my TTS…

It is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it….

Now……I have finished GJ…and now I have finished TTS, I need to have these two done before I could start the next project for SAL….

so maybe today I can select my fabrics for the new SAL project….

Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement to complete TTS over the past couple of days it really did help…

Happy Happy Sunday

Take Care Peg

Whatever we do lays a seed in our deepest consciousness, and one day that seed will grow

 

TTS progress

All the stitcheries are completed…

The blocks are joined…..

The borders are on…

the quilt is sandwiched….

I had a phone call from my very gorgeous friend Chooky this morning, so nice to chat to her….and she does have some wonderful plans for our next SAL…

but the motivation at the moment is here, I need to finish TTS…

now, I must select some thread and back to the machine for quilting….but first off a cuppa and a scone…

Hope all your creative juices are running…

Happy Saturday
