Back to stitching...

With Christmas over and the school holidays almost over its time to stop with the excuses and get back into my quilts.  They have been very neglected, actually thats an understatement!


 Here is the first block to my SKOW quilt (I think this is quilt No 4) "patty cakes" and just to refresh your memory I am using "Butterscotch" my Fig Tree Quilts.


 I don't know why I wait so long to do these because they are quite simple and easy to do ... and quite fun when I stop stressing about how far behind I am.


This is block No 4 "old blue jeans".  I added some patch pockets and that peace sign just reminds me so much of my daughter.

Just way too cute really.
Hope you had a great weekend and I hope you have big plans for keeping cool this week.  Its going to be a stinker here in Perth all week.  Oh well the hot weather had to come sooner or later.
Love me :-)

Oh my goodness-- your quilt blocks are adorable!! They look so fun to make. I love the mix of applique and embroidery. Each block has so much personality-- I can't wait to see more!
