Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope all your plans are working out. My plan for a picnic on the beach have been sidelined because of the bad weather, so it's roast pork and pavola at home instead. I'm sure we will manage :-). Here's a little bit of fun I found on youtube enjoy...

Easy Street Part 4

Well this afternoon I started on clue 4 of Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street Mystery Quilt.
I thought I better as clue 5 with be published tonight.

I still have a few units to go (I'm only making half the units, for a smaller quilt). But at least I made a start.
I cut these out, and sewed them this afternoon while watching Bonnie live on Quilt Cam.

Now I better scoot and link this up to Bonnie's blog before the next clue is released! Go and have a look at all the other 'crazy' bloggers doing Easy Street too. I think I might be the last to link up this week ;-)

Thanks Jenny!

Look what arrived in the mail today! These Goodies came from Jenny of Romany Quilting. She recently posted her 500th blog post, and to celebrate she had a mystery give away.
(I won!)

I love visiting Jenny's blog Romany Quilting and have been visiting it since before I started my own blog. Jenny also blogs with her husband Robin about their travels around New Zealand on Romany Rambler blog.
Even though I have never meet Jenny I feel like I know her, and hope to meet her 'for real' one day.

My Mystery Goodies from Jenny

Congrats Jenny on posting more than 500 blog posts, and Thank You very much for my Goodies.
(I just checked how many blog posts I have done and it's only 234 so I have a long way to go to catch up!)
