Star Bright

(please excuse crap photo - light is appalling)

I'm getting fond of these.  My fav so far is the one bottom right.

Only a few more to do and then I can do the border which I'm looking forward to.

Stay tuned!

What Pasta Dish Are You?

I don't normally do Blogthings, but I'm a Pasta and Italian food freak so I had to do this one:

You are Spaghetti with Meatballs

Compared to most people, you are very family focused. You are social, but you tend to mostly socialize with those you are already close to. You love to bond with your friends. Sharing time together is very important to you. You are trustworthy and responsible. You like your friends knowing that they can count on you.

What Pasta Dish Are You?

A finish!

Well sort of.

I don't think you'd call this a proper quilt. The border is not quilted.



I was getting so fed up with it.  I started stitching the ditch and my fingers were bleeding and aching so much with all that pushing and pulling of the needle I gave up and tied the rest of it.

When I had done the inner border I looked at it and decided the rest didn't need doing and put it to one side.  Then Finn's Challenge came along so I pulled it out and put the binding on.

This wall hanging is going to be hung in a dark corner somewhere.  Not even I, who is not afraid of the Quilt Police, would dare put this on show.

I suppose at some point way off in the future I could return to it and tie the rest of it.

However, it has got me back into the groove, I've managed to cross off one thing for Finn's Challenge and I did a few fans on Ab Fab last night - woo hoo!

Another Challenge .....

Fancy playing along?

Finn has issued a challenge.  List some of your UFO's and see if you get them finished before New Years Eve.  No pressure, no quilt police.  Just play along and have fun, which is what we like best isn't it?

Here are mine:

1. Bind Crumbs From my Table;


2. Add border to Haunted Houses, baste, quilt and bind;


3. Finish Sugar Sweet Houses - piece, baste, quilt, bind;


4. You are a Star quilt for niece to be - piece, baste, quilt, bind


5. Quilt The Blue's quilt;


6. Start my Fungly Challenge


7. Try to finish Ab Fab (as if!).

I'm not including the Q4L quilts in this, so let's see what I manage to get finished by 31st December 2008!
