Cyber day tomorrow.....

Well tomorrow is "Cyber Stitching Day" and I have been ever so busy organising .... food and treats....for all the loving ladies who are rocking up to my home tomorrow morning....Number three son....twin number number even called around today...he was unable to work because of the weather and he was bored so he had made a slice (now I am so lucky all my boys cook and are very good cooks....one is a chef) and he thought the ladies would like it...of course I had a little taste...yummo....but I have taken one small photo of the kits sitting on my dining room table..maybe a few more shots later on in the night...

I am going to have two laptops set up at home....hopefully taking lots of photos and posting to my blog as well as "Club Quilt's"...may be even "Dragonfly Crafts" as well as "Gaizies".... and you never know we may even be able to do some on Day-days blog.......so would love to hear if you are involved so we can pop over for a visit.....I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen at Mrs. Martins Quilt Shop, you have done an excellent job and it has been an absolute pleasure chatting with you over the past few weeks....

Treats...........




So much has been happening...thank you so much to everyone who has signed up for my challenge...my theory is anything that we complete must be a bonus.....so if you are interested at all please drop me an email and I will add you to our little group of challengers.....
Time for thank yous.....look what I received from Cathi.....I have been watching her blog for a while Cathi hand pieces all her quilts...wow....anyway she sent me this kit which has all the gear for me to do some hexagons by hand....these have been done using Inklingo...in my kit I have heirloom thread, lovely range of fabrics already to go, all I need to do is cut them out.....a beautiful handmade needle case which is filled with several different types of needles...Cathi thank you so very very much this was truly so thoughtful of you....pop over and have a look at the quilt she is working on at the moment....here....just stunning...

A Challenge

A Challenge..............I have given myself a challenge...to complete 5 quilt tops (or does one call them flimsies) into completed quilts by the end of July.....I would like to put out a challenge to other quilters who may be like me and have the odd one or two flimsies lying around.....if you would like to participate in my challenge I will add you name to a link on my side bar...so we can all watch your progress...and be inspired....I would like to encourage you to do postings about your progress, you can forward photos to me and I will also post these on my blog......if there is a story as to why this has not been completed, lets compare stories........I will have a prize at the end of the challenge, it may go to the person who has done the most....or it may be a lucky draw...(with the bingo machine).....there could be a couple of prizes, still working on that one......
I hope you will join me in this challenge...even if you only finish one....that means another one bites the dust..........
the Challenge will finish midnight the 31 July 2008....so that is about 6 weeks give or take.....
Take care... Peg ... :>) ....

Oh Dear............

I have just completed my third BOM - Lynette Anderson's Noah's Ark.....and look what I have done....I have used a different background fabric for the first block, they are both mottled but the first lot is slightly lighter.... the photo looks worse that what it is.....will have to find some of the original background that I used and do alternate blocks....or I will have to redo it, maybe I will just do that.....oh dear.......what a bummer......
