I really like those colours

Lynn said...

My favorite magazine, if only it were available here, I can't understand it because our bookstores carry other AU quilting and sewing magazines. Sigh. Love your blocks (don't tell anyone but I'm a bit behind).

Yvette said...

I love that magazine but can hardly ever find it here. Your stitcheries are going to make a cute Christmas quilt.

Susan said...

It's been a while since I bought Homespun! Who might I know might be featured? Your Christmas blocks are really pretty!

Go Chooky the blocks look fantastic...

Susan said...

Have you been cracking the whip over yourself?? But "Good Job" anyway.
Lucky you to get your Homespun - is it becase my Surname starts with W or is it becaise I live in Queensland that they are in the shops before I get mine?? Really P's me off.

TTS is a great SAL project, not too hard to keep up with - loving it. I also love Homespun but it seems to take up to a week longer to get delivered in WA than in the Eastern States - baa humbug, can't wait to see Lisa's project, they do such pretty pics & layouts. Tracee xx

Your blocks are fabulous - and fabulously early! Will wait patiently for my copy of this Homespun - another great thing about living in OZ - you get it earlier. lol

TTS is coming along beautifully, looks fantastic! Yeah, I look forward to the mag coming in the mail too and it is especially nice to see someone in it you know through blogging/craft. I can't believe it has been so long since I last visited your blog!
