Another one of My BOM's done. I just love the fabric. It is MODA "Oasis"I am going to have to spoil myself and buy some more. This was just a charm pack. the block is ....Twin sisters and done with foundation piecing. I think I could become addicted to that. It leaves the block very crisp I think.

I have been making a bag for a swap over on the forum. I wanted to add a crocheted flower and followed directions from a "website" on crochet. It looked like a blob,,then I realised the directions call for a dc --but I (australians )call them trbles. I am so happy with it now. Will put up a picture when my swappee opens her parcel. Our boys love to watch the flyovers so off we went on ANZAC day. It is such a special day and we had an enjoyable time. Easter and Anzac Days, together, was very special . We were able to remember Men who had died for our freedoms,now and hereafter.

this is the hexi that was causing me a problem. I "fussy cut "the roses and then decided INVISIBLE thread was the best way to go. My partner over on the forum appears to be happy with it.

I have finally got something done for FNSI .had a hard day's work and found out I needed to do an extra day Saturday , plus Youth group - I was not up to "dodge "ball, I wanted to get home and do something. I basted 8 hexis and finally was able to get a dishcloth done. I have been looking for a special stitch( Basket weave.) that I was shown about 6 yrs ago but quickly forgot and then found it blog hopping. Now to get a photo up.Not much but anything for me at the moment is a plus.

Why OH Why do I do this to myself. I am really happy with the hexi I have done for this month(will post a picture when my partner gets hers),but I decided to use invisible thread. Have also spent the morning blog hopping for a tutorial on making hexis where they use paper clips. I cannot find it. No I did not save it or bookmark it.

I have completed the "baby Bunting" block for our forum monthly BOM. The plan is to make it in dh's footy colors and then he has his own supporters' quilt. We will see. have to make some changes to my OPAM. I have completed something.The mug wrap nd coaster I received fromJorja on the craft forum. It had to b insect related. She has very cleverly made a set in blue-white and yellow reversible dragon fly material with some dragon fly buttons. They are lovely. Of course I did not take a photo of what I sent to her.
