Lcqal block 10

This is my block 10 of the lcqal.  I tried to use as many scarps as possible as only 7 pieces of fabric left and i am trying to be careful and not make any stuff ups mistakes .I only used 1 complete square of fabric.  Next block is on it's way.

i've been making these during the week.




Well last week I had been asked to make 2 dresses for my mates daughter's wedding this saturday. This is what she requested . The dress has a lining then a layer of crushed tafita and then layered with chiffon......real crappy to cut out and sew! A blue satin tie that ties into a big bow at the back.  They don't look that good in the pics but on they are quite cute. She was really pleased with them. I will try and get a pic of them wearing them and post it later.

My golden eyed boy....Hurly

Here is my gingerboy, Hurly.  He is on his lonesome as his brother never came back. I'm thinking of getting another kitten for company for him, we will see. He has taken over the bed too...sleeps right in the middle of us!

More blocks finished



I have managed to finish 2 more blocks of the lcqal.  one i changed a panel but still not sure i like it , but it can stay like that till all the other blocks are complete  uncase i run out of fabric.  I  love  doing the disappearing nine-patch!  it's so easy it nearly sews itself and you great combinations from one block. 
I am thinking of making my nephew (chey) an' eyespy ' quilt for his birthday in june...hopefully.  I should be finishing some of the 'ufos', that seem to be growing....  just keep sewing, just keep sewing........
