Kate North has been hosting round 5 of her 'Another Little Quilt Swap
The remit was a quilt the size of a piece of photocopy paper, A4 or the equivalent
No other specifications except it had to be ready and photos sent to her by 31st January
You could sign up without totally committing yourself - just an expression of intent and if you didn't finish your quilt no worries
This suited me - a year or two ago I used to make lots of things for swaps and manage completions by deadlines with very little trouble
Then I bit off more than I could chew and the stress of completing things on time switched me off the entire process
This time I had a get-out clause - no finish, no entry - simple!
And with this I managed to finish my piece
Ta-dah................
A hand appliqued little quilt all in batiks
It's all machine quilted in corresponding colours to within an inch of its lifeFinishes are always a nice kind of feeling aren't they? :o)
Now onto something different...........
Blocks for Claire for her Quilts 4 Leukaemia quilts - I've long promised a supply of these - now is the time for action and once I've finished them all they'll be winging their way to France - (Sorry Claire, I know I've been promising these for ages but I'm on the case now - honest!)Back to the sewing machine then..................

Thanks for your comment on my blog [the banking rant]
Hoping you're coping with Sarah away - my visit to the daughters in London last week made me realise just how much I miss their company now they are grown-up-and-gone.
Weekend Blessings x
Lovely mini and your machine quilting is wonderful. What I thought was beads was thread work .... fantastic!
I have just been catching up on your blog. Since bloglines changed I just can't figure out what is going on, but I do miss you!
I love that wool and have knitted loads of those scarves (my Mom discovered and now i am hooked too).
Congrats on your wedding anniversary! Hope you have lots more and yes, photos scanned in would be wonderful.
Hope Sarah is doing well and would love to see what the other 2 are up to. Please send my love to all at Chez Bebbs, xka
I LOVE your little A4. Such pretty colours, and I love the butterflies.
Thankyou for your hugs and kind thoughts.XXXOOO
