Well the internet is working at the moment....still a little touchy and I've lost a week's worth of emails as my account was cancelled by my provider by accident. Anyway I have had time to complete the ten projects for the next book. There will be two large sampler bed quilts, two wallhangings, a table runner, tablecloth, cushion,two nursery quilts and book covers. Six wonderful friends have helped me as well and I am so grateful to them.
For Chritmas I got a brand new camera which I am thrilled with. The decorations are all packed up for another year and this photo even shows my reflection in the baubles!! I am looking forward to taking many photos on our trip to Britain and Russia later this year. I am especially looking forward to finally seeing Kelmscott and some William Morris countryside including a visit to his grave.
A little diversion from William Morris......... I have also been trying to get this quilt finished for Quilt Encounter this year: http://www.saquilters.org.au/quilt-encounter.htm
I've been working on it on and off for nearly two years and I still need to design the setting triangles but probably won't do a border for this one.
Now a name for it......... Maybe 'Arabesque in Blue'?
How about "Blue Arabesque".
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! What type of camera did you get for Christmas?

ReplyDeleteHope the internet problems are really fixed, there's nothing more irritating than having to sort that out all the time.

Happy New Year, Michele!
