A few weeks ago I had a comment from Margaret who has a fashion blog...
she then in turn asked me to come over and enter her giveaway...which I did...
and blow me down...I won!!!
All packaged up in black with a bright blue ribbon...
the prize was a bracelet by Christiana...
Designed by Dawn...to read an interview with Dawn hop on over here...
Thank you so much Margaret...I love it!!!
Last year when JoJo went off for a Careaway holiday which gave us some respite we headed up to Berry, a little village not too far from us!!!
We called into the Berry Patchwork Shop there and saw a quilt displayed...
It caught Mr Armchair's eye and Elizabeth kindly gave us the pattern for it which is available from Modabakeshop...
I bought these 2 packs of Charm Squares...
here the squares are laid out...
and I have started to put some blocks together...
I'm hoping to do perhaps a block a day when I am not tied up doing other stuff or Cabareting...yes the show is still going and I am having a ball!!!
I'm really hoping I can get it together for him by Christmas...
I'm off next week to some lessons on my new machine at Steph's which I'm really looking forward to!!!
With any luck hopefully I'll have the top done in a couple of weeks!!!
That's setting myself a challenge isn't it LOL!!!
This is my first time using Blogger's New Editor and I love it!!!
The pics can be moved around easily...and can be put in order of appearance....
should've made the switch sooner!!!
Meanwhile...I'm still singing,
What good is sitting alone in your room
Come hear the music play...
