This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

Quilting projects to finish..................

Thanks to friend Barb Gurn who has returned my lap quilts and wall hangings after finishing on her long arm. I now have to do the bindings and they are all done. As always she does a terrific job.
It is time to get my machine out now anyway, as summer turns to Fall its time to put away the summer (unfinished) projects and turn to other things. I have no idea where any of these will end up but here are pictures of the unfinished items.

This could be a Christmas throw or a wall hanging

The hens on this one have a backing of fencing, see the square mesh thingie? I love the chickens, I may keep that one.

Another Christmas one that can be a lap rug or wall hanging. Doubt I will use it though. I love how she did the back with red stitches.

My Rooster quilt is small, would be nice for a wall hanging or table cloth. I would love to keep it but have no idea where I could put it. The background is black and white squares.
you can just see it on the side. That drove my eyes crazy.

The next is a garden theme, that may go on the porch next year. The backing if very bright and colourful.

I really like the next one, a farm theme and I love the pigs and critters. The red backing might make it useful in the living room unless I can give it up.

The picture does not do this one justice, it is a wall hanging really and when we repaint I may be able to use that one somewhere in the house.

I like this quiet one, a backing of green with white dots it would go well in my bedroom. If I just had room for it.

I had no plans for any of these. I may give them away but I don't really know who would want them. I chose them all because I liked the fabric and wanted to use it up. I didn't really think about what I would do with them when done. I may give some as Christmas gifts except we probably won't do much in the way of gifts this year. With Laura down state it will probably be just me and Gerry now.
I am hoping to get my machine out and start on making some tote bags and small things. I need to cover some stools and make some cushion covers.
