Third Time Lucky!

Hello again,

Well, I failed totally in my last blog to upload the pictures, so here goes again!!



Eureka, I've done it!,  I have no idea why I couldn't do it before, but never mind I've managed it at last.

Anyway this is my version of Mandy Monroe's Interrupted Log Cabin wall hanging.  I apologise for the crude method of hanging it, but will sort out something  better later on.  

I have been quite busy since my last blog, making cards and some patchwork too.

These are the cards I've made:



Actually this one isn't a card at all, but a gift box I made for my Grand daughter's birthday present.   This is the card I made for her to go with the present.





A get well message for a friend in Devon who has recently had an operation.



A 'big birthday' card for my Son's partner.




A card for my eldest Granddaughter 

Well, success at last.  Hopefully next time it will be much easier.

We're off to Devon for he weekend and the annual Hot X Bun parade on the seafront tomorrow morning.  Let's hope gain is shining!

HAPPY EASTER

Bye for now

Jean

Hello again,


Another chilly week has gone by, so an opportunity to do some crafting.

This week I've been busy catching up on some patchwork/quilting and made just one card, for a friend's 70th birthday.  Picture below:



In December I posted a photo of a patchwork block I'd made called Interactive Log Cabin, based on a wall hanging by Mandy Munroe.  A reminder below:



I've now completed three blocks, joined them together and quilted them to make a table runner or wall hanging.  Although, I'm not sure we have a wall space that will take it!  I just have the binding to add and will then show you the finished piece in all its glory.

ONE WEEK LATER!

Oops I forgot to post this last week.  More brain cells dying I suppose!

Anyway here is the completed wall hanging in all its glory!




OR NOT!!!!!

Watch this space.....
