A Light bulb Moment

Yes that's what I had yesterday while I was fondling my wonderful giftie from Oz (Red Work Folder Cover). I was looking at this wonderful gift and thinking (now no laughing too loud please) this is awfully flimsy, all my blocks will fall out. Then it happened, it was like someone turned the light on inside my head. Have I said that I'm a natural blonde, no offense meant to any other clever blondes out there. Eh duh it IS a folder cover, yes Linda you put a folder into the cover. Well that works wonderfully doesn't it? I really do astound myself at times as to how thick I can be...lol.... So now I have a folder inside this beautiful cover and I was thinking what a waste of lovely talent to only have it filled with paper print outs of designs. So I've decided to buy some of those zippered 3 hole ring binder thingies, (good description, don't you think?) and put each project in them along with the pattern sheets, so that I have all my current embroidery projects together, plus it means that Libby (new pup) can't get to my stray floss bobbins and have a colour feast.

Now that was very liberating, confessing to my often thickness of brain....

Time to share some more photo's, a post without photo's just isn't a post, is it?

Another Crab Apple Hill Design. I managed to finish another one yesterday, so that's 6 finished and another 2 to complete plus the larger centre block.

I was looking at the lovely patterns that arrived with the red work folder cover yesterday, lovely tea pots and I'm thinking that I might combine them with the Crab Apple Hill designs of tea cups that I have and make a lovely table cloth. That's still in the thinking process at the moment.

I thought it was time I got back to my Bronwyn Hayes blocks if I ever want to see this quilt on our bed, so I thought I'd share a couple of photo's of some of the completed blocks. I've got to that point where the only blocks left to do are the bigger ones and they seem to be taking forever to finish.
I love this block, I seem to have a thing for tea pots.


And who doesn't like hearts with flowers?


Happy Stitching.

Thanks for the chuckle! Again, I'm amazed by the amount of stitchery you can get down so quickly.
