Okay - I'm going to have a little chat now and not go near my computer all weekend! Don't you believe me? Silly if you do - but really, I am not going to Post - maybe just Browse, Comment and Reply!
Below - my dolly quilt for my partner in Doll Quilt Swap 6! Very simple - I'm going to let the cute fabrics do the talking, quilt with Perle thread and maybe a little red striped binding! I hope she likes it!.jpg)
Also, below, another WIP - would like to get a little birdie finished over the weekend to send to my Easter Swap partner! Just had to rush in and buy a Size 7 crochet hook when I read the instructions - looking at the picture I thought the birdies were wearing frilly skirts - no, this is a little crocheted nest - looks so cute to me! Hope to finish and post the parcel on Monday!

Kathie's pattern has arrived, so this will come with me to the post office on Monday, too! Now, I have publicly made two commitments to keep me on track! I have also found another wonderful piece of Nancy Kirk Civil War II 1855-1870, to include in Kathie's parcel. This parcel is not meant to be a surprise for Kathie - just Promises, Promises, I haven't kept!.jpg)
For all of you who love our history of quilting - this is one not to be missed! I was looking forward to having a peep at it and was lucky enough to see Karen's yesterday - didn't take my camera, but I will next Thursday and take some pics of the stunning quilts inside! The cover tells you about the contents and if you Google Annette's book, you will get details. It sells at AU$120 - I knew it was going to be expensive, but if that's your style, worth every penny of it - it is a really big book. Great reproduction quilts by our wonderful Kim McLean, and the patterns are included - value for money and a real treasure!
I think, last, but not least, I have joined Jane's Rainbow Quilt Swap (see the new button on my sidebar) - I'm really excited to be in a USA swap, so thank you Jane for the privilege! Red's my colour, so I'll be searching for a nice 12" block design to do! Oh, and also nice fabric!Oh, a couple of more things - I have hexagons to post off to Robyn on Monday, too (see Hexagons of Hope on my sidebar) and maybe I will do a little machine quilting on another Comfort Quilt, too, over the weekend!
I've got really good intentions - hope I can achieve a couple at least - enjoy your weekend, too!
Hugs♥
