A New Year's resolution should be to keep up with blog posts. Anyway here is a collection of bits and bobs.
On the 16th the Queen Beez had a lovely day at Maggie's with us each contributing parts of our lunch. Delicious! Once more I saw Maggie's great stack and whackery squares quilt using two different but coordinating fabrics. Very taken with this idea.
We are embarking on a second joint quilt and started with a selected fabrics from the kit. We shall shop our stash and a shopping trip is planned.

I am very excited about my current project, a disappearing block from a book by Sandy Bonsib. I am using brushed cottons and a long held basket of Laura Ashley scraps from the early days of her shops, mostly offcuts from clothes manufacture.

| Using such a plethora to cut from makes a mess but I am loving it. |

Advent quilt on the bed which I should have changed on Christmas Eve.
I shall change it when I get back from my son's where we've spent Christmas Day. |

It has a wool blend wadding and
is hand as well as machine quilted. Very cosy! |
