In one of my earlier blogs I showed these bear paw blocks that I was working on. Well I had completed all the blocks but got too busy with work and other things to put them together. So I have made a rule that everyday I will spend 1/2 to 1 Hour doing only my work and over time it has payed off, with the completed centre to Blue Heaven by Megan Fisher. I still have two more borders to put on but already this is a large quilt. I think it will be the biggest quilt to date that I have ever made. As it was a lovely day outside I decided to take the picture in or backyard, when Chloe came to see what I was up to and posed for the camera.

She is our 9 year landscape artist. Chloe can replant a days work in 30min and prides herself on undermining 6 meter high trees. We will hire her out to anyone interested in remodelling their backyard. She also likes to ham it up for the camera.





This is my favorite ,she fits in well with the nut house although I do find it hard when I am trying to get something to grow.



and speaking of growing last year ,I saved a orchid from the reduced rack in Bunnings . I did not know what colour flower it would be and I was so excited to see it was a nice purple pink and that I hadn't killed it off . I tend to believe you have to breed them tuff to survive in our house with the boys, cats and the dog.

  2. Your quilt is lovely! I think I need to use your idea about spending time each day on my quilt.
