WHAT TO DO,WHAT TO DO????


Well its been a while,because i have been a bit of an idiot...there i sat on the toilet ......and one small sneeze later,and there i am rolling around on the floor with my knickers round my ankles writhing in pain....YEP!!! i put my back out....NOT HAPPY!!!!!!

so with a sea of painkillers and plenty of rest,i could devote my time to designing a new quilt or at least read through my pattern books...earmarked quite a few patterns i liked and settled on one pattern that stood out more than everybody elses idea's.

I adapted it to fit my requirements,and the materials i had available,and came up with the black braid quilt...i managed to use up all of my excess material i had layting around in my scrap pot...everything that was 1" or wiider got sewed together at the side edge and at 90' to each other...and managed to get a lovely chevron pattern.......here take a look!!!This one is for sale on my e-bay page at the minute,because i want to put the cash from this one towards another jelly roll for a quilt for my mum...have figured out the design and the shapes...(think i might try the double wedding ring....),but need two jelly rolls for this up and coming one.....
But am gutted!!!have just started making an autumn star quilt...and although its a bit complicated i am getting there...but am waiting for another sneeze to put my back in or a expensive visit to the chiropractor.....ACK!!!!
