Well here they are I've finished all my Bronwyn Hayes cat blocks decided a red frame around each block would look good and have no idea what to do now. I would like to make the blocks into a lap or single bed size quilt so either need to make some more blocks (don't really want to do that) or decide on lots of filler blocks.
I've had a count up of all my UFO's and got a shock more than 20 I've signed up for a challenge on one of my groups to do one every 2 months so that's 6 definitely going to be finished.
I'm working on one UFO at the moment and have lost motivation already guess that's why I have so many of them.
Today after walking the dog doing some gardening as our bin gets emptied tomorrow and it's not much point paying for empty bins. Then all the usual housework chores I don't feel like quilting so wasting time on the computer blog surfing. There are some beautiful quilts on blogs.
Now time to think about dinner we are having vegetable lasagna the 2 boys of the house both made faces and asked why I wasn't making the ususal lasagna. Little darlings.

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.



So go on over and have a look
