GOOD MORNING...

... its a bit dull here this morning .. not complaining though , because, for the first time in WEEKS we have had some .. much needed .. rain . The air is much fresher .. you can hear the plants sucking it up ... AH! Very nice x

I have been putting off making the postcard for the swap this month. The theme is ....wait for it... free machine quilting!! GOOD LORD!!! I barely machine!! I know you need to practice at this .. but first, you have to have an interest!!... and I don't!

Hey-Ho... I'm not going to let my partner down.. even when I don't like the theme! SO...


this is my crummy effort! I had a go .. no more will be said! lol x

I was asked to make 4 Christmas bags ... money will be crossing palms here xx..... SO within 2 days of being asked I have made ..









SEE THE DIFFERENCE when I am motivated? lol x

I was looking at this cushion ...


.... remember I made it at Area day? Well I was thinking about how she said the whole look  can be changed around ... and so I changed it around and made ... 


I am really pleased with it x.....ALL I did was change the white from a dominant position .. and very obvious to a minor position ... its EXACTLY the same block xx




 How cool is that x ... I do have to laugh at myself sometimes !!! lol x

Off to find some more motivation ... NO free machine quilting ... or housework either come to that xx

Have a lovely time yourselves

Free motion and me don't get along well. I like straight lines ; )

Love the bags and well done for doing the postcard, even if you didn't enjoy it, all the more special for that.

I don't get on with FMQ either. Yours looks fine though, I'd be delighted to receive it in a swap. I'm sure the recipient will be delighted too.
Cute bags.
