Well here we again, craft night. Tuesday night was a quiet night with only 2
ladies but still plenty to chat about. I
got a quick lesson in blogging so I can try and blog the happenings of UFO
craft nights and anything else that may be happening in the crafting
world. After the quick lesson it was
getting a bit late to get the machine out and continue my planned Tuesday night
project but I was very busy on the weekend doing odd patchwork projects. I was quiet pleased with myself by the end of
the weekend managing to get some projects done that I had been putting off because new and exciting projects were calling my name (darn that internet surfing). I started with sewing on the binding of two
quilts, putting the final boarders on a quilt ready to be quilted, put the last
of few blocks together ready to assemble that quilt in a pleasing display and
last but not least trying out some decorative stitches (from my new sewing
machine J) on a rag quilt
that I am assembling for my daughter (who is suppose to be doing this project
but lost interest :\ ), so all in all one very pleased quilter J. The sewing
room is starting to look a little bare I just may have to fill it up some
fabric, no, no, no, I can’t do that remember UFO busting year (maybe one or two
pieces can’t hurt he, he, he).

Before I close off I came across a UFO busting
article by Pat Sloan that you may be interested in reading, just go HERE
. Each month Pat is going to give some tips and tricks to busting those UFO's. Check it out it proves to be some interesting reading and a bit of laugh, along with how
true when it comes to tallying and working out what order of inportance we place our UFO’s.

As for Ms D she had quite a product night arranging
her “Little Apples” quilt into many different variations, check out the photo
below of one of her many quilt styles and leave a comment of what you
think. I kind of like the chevron look I
wish I had taken more photos of other variations for comparison, can’t wait for
the finished quilt top to see what style she finally did decide on.
