ok im bored now, need to go and finish some more sewing i have pincushions on the way and they are screaming at me to finish them and i need to post my fabric journal also, but for now i will show you millicent another fab fairy with attitude


omg i have made it here again ,twice in two days its unheard of, so whats new in blogging world, how do i get people to come over here and take a look, i visit quite a few fellow bloggers but not sure how to make this interesting enough to get peoples to follow me, will have to do some research here me thinks as its no fun talking to myself,lol,

anyways today i thought id show you a cathedral windows lap quilt, each block is stitched entirely by hand, then the blocks are machine stitched together to speed up production time, i then stitched lace down each block and added buttons, it took more then 30 hours to make this one...hope you like it


this is actually a second quilt id made but these pictures look better than the other ones, my photography skills aint that great
