Well here she is back home and ready to go again

All you ladies with large sewing rooms look here this is mine a small corner of a bedroom where I am sleeping at the moment as I have a cough that does not like me laying down so I cough all night and poor DH is getting disturbed not as much as me though.

I've been making lots of these filler blocks to go between the nine patch swap my quilting group did this year I think I must be half way there I need to make over 300 can't remember the exact amount I worked out.

My sewing machine has decided it's been over used and us now not working the way it should be so I've taken it to the quilt shop I bought it from.

it will be ready next Tuesday so I'll have 10 days without a machine. Think about all the things I will actually get down around the place lots of gardening and sorting out cupboards all the jobs i have been meaning to do.

And blog hopping.

While playing around on blogs yesterday I can across a new BOM starting on the 1st of January featuring Celtic designs.
