On-Point Homespun Top

I got the on-point top partly done still needs borders but this is my first attempt at a On-Point layout, it funny don't matter how much you try to smooth it out it never looks right once the photo has been taken lol

Anyway i have to do borders not fully sure what i will use yet as i know i don't have lenths of homespun so may use some Thimbleberry will see what will go with it.

The blocks there is 12 blocks using 6 different fabrics in the Homespun but the same background in all then the large squares I used 6 different ones, most of the fabrics are from FQs the only yardage i used so far is the backgroun for the blocks & the triangles around the edging which is another homespun fabric.

This will be a single quilt when finished & I will be doing another one the same but using Civil War fabric for the blocks & squares with some Thimbleberry for the background of the blocks will figure the rest out when I get that far lol.

EQ7 Is Arriving

EQ7 is due out & the company do have a offer on if you pre-order by 31st of May well being in the UK we have extra postage to pay but for those who would like to still get it I have pre-ordered a upgrade from    RioDesigns  you can either order a upgrade if you have EQ6 or if not a full version both at discount prices if you pre-order by 31st May & this is a UK based company

My DH has agreed to give me money for my birthday in July so I can put this towards the cost of it so I shouldn't have much if anything to pay not sure how much he will give me yet will have to wait & see lol

On a different note I have to see the ENT specialist about a sort of lump in my throat that is going to be early June I am still waiting on the results of the MRI scan well report not even been done so the specialist there hasn't seen it so don't know when I will get to see him

I have got some double Knitting Yarn & have started a top for DH this is going to be a little like a sleeveless top but will have short sleeves this is so it will keep his back & shoulders down his arm warm as he in a lot of pain with it so hope that this will help.

I have also started doing bits for blocks which will be for a single quilt, I have to do triangles & for the life of me I can't remember the best way to do them I have the squares cut & drawn the lines from corner to corner but that where I am not sure so what I have done is sewn either side of one of the lines then I will cut them & then cut again & put the triangles back to a square I know I am doing this the long winded way but at least I am doing it lol funny how your mind just can't see it or as they say you can't see the wood for the trees lol

For My Mum's Birthday

Today would have been my mum's 99th birthday she passed away 18 months ago & I miss her much more than I thought I would, when my dad passed in 1988 I of course missed him but I think that as mum was still here now Mum has gone as well I guess that it hit home more
The first photo is of my mum when she was 93 the 2nd photo is when she was about 40 she was with my dad at the Char Ladies Ball the 3rd was Christmas 1976 she would have been 65 she with my dad & my eldest 2 children you can see on the sidebar another photo of my mum with me that was taken in Scotland & she was in her late 80s then
So all that is left for me to say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM

May's Angel

Here is your angel for May I hope that she will put a spring in your step & may you be filled with Happiness as she guards over you through out the month on May

Angel Of May

~The angel of all motherhood

She kisses child each night

Wraps a child in special wings

Holds all children tight

She is a perfect answer to

A Mother's special prayer

Forever she is constantly

Hovering somewhere

A treasured gift this angel is

She'll always do her part

Protect each gift that you receive

That lives inside your heart

A gift from God He sent her here

To hold your child so close

The precious gift a child to love

A most angelic host

So say a prayer to her each night

Forever she'll be near

A Guardian to every child

Each one her heart will wear~
