A Bit Of Crappy Sad Stuff

Well Dear Readers I have some very crappy news to share with you.
Grahams little brother, Paul, lost his battle with cancer on Sunday 26th November, aged 54. Leaving behind Mel and two little kids (and two step kids as well).
And here we are below 11months to the day (Boxing day 2016) innocent souls that we were, no inkling of the tragedy that was about to unfold.
Life can be a bastard.

And, in a few days we get on a plane to London, we will miss the funeral which I expect will be HUGE. But he told us to go and not to change our plans because of him.
Please donate to
love your sister..

I Spy Shadow Box Quilt

IMG_5942

Well, Dear Readers, it never ceases to amaze me how much fabric I have collected over the years. It also amazes me that with all the projects I complete, the store of fabric I own never seems to diminish.

A bit like Albert, the Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsey. He was a cut-an-come-again pudding, I think I may have a cut and come again fabric stash!!!!

Anyway, I digress. I wish to share with you my latest finished project. This is a quilt made from scraps from my stash and Is an I Spy shadow box quilt. I made it as a raffle quilt for the car club for our recent rally.

All the raffle prizes are out on a table, so if your ticket number is called you get to choose, so all the good stuff goes first!

Fortunately it wasn't left until last and it was claimed by Rick and Cheryl!

Below is my little helper, trying not to be a trip hazard for once…

Its Me, Miss Lizzy, here my Mums Dear Readers – I protest at being referred to as a trip hazard. My Mum just doesn't look where she is going. I consider my role in the production of these quilts as vital to quality control, and doggie proof testing.

My apologies everyone, it appears that the dog is taking over the blog and it is all getting just a little silly!
