Just what I needed.............

I've been writing this post all week.........anyway better late than never.......

I decided that I needed to have some time with friends so zoom was the solution.....saved driving anywhere and where was I going to go anyway......zoom involves no driving........

I worked on this kit that a friend sent me...........It's a pattern from the book Jelly Roll Jam.......

i'll share more another day but I think I am taking that one to retreat with me if I don't start sewing it before then..........still more cutting to do..........this was just the fabric sections worked out.......1/2 of the strips are cut into their required cuts now.......

massive excitement of Saturday morning was twins.............

Bridget has twins........proud Ma here........I did share some pics and a little video when I was online with the girls............they were only maybe 6hrs old here............trying to work out drinking........funny to watch as Bridget is trying to encourage them but keeps turning around to look at them and moving around in cycles.........lol

Mr Bluetongue was out and about..........I tried to take a little video of him but I missed him poking his tongue out.......its so blue.......

I was a bit lost and I really just wanted to sew and not think so I pulled out this jelly roll........

Simplicity by 3 Sisters........they have such pretty fabrics.......

I decided to make a jelly roll race quilt.........let me tell you this was no race unless it was between snails but of I loved it..........

I used Fairy Girls new machine and it was lovely..........

(it's a few years old now but I had not used it)

So pretty............

Even the pile on the floor was pretty............

But I did get it finished before I left zoom..........thanks friends I sure felt better after that time together..........and your support was greatly appreciated.........

<<<<<<<<<<<>>NOW TO THIS WEEKEND>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I wanted to find some fabrics for borders.......

so I pulled out two boxes of pretties...........

BUT what I found was another quilt I started a very long time ago.......maybe now it is an antique???

long before I knew of standard block sizes........more on that another day.......

BUT I started cutting fabrics to finish that quilt instead because in order to finish the jelly roll quilt I need to sort what fabrics I will use in the "antique" quilt............

I cut lots of squares for the blocks............and I just realised I am so dumb as I need 2 squares for all the blocks to be finished so I need to cut heaps more...........lucky I have not put them away yet...........

Finally Bridget made her way around the back of the house this morning with her babies..........they have grown heaps in the week.........both boys and no they do not have names.........they will be sold in a year......they will be referred to as Bridgets boys........

Apologies for those who join zoom as your not really getting any notice when I will pop on but I just take a chance and jump on when I grab a chance..........

thanks to those who have joined in...........even if I was getting a bit of a ribbing this morning from a couple.........no names mentioned but Betty and Lou may know who that was............LOL

Ok must go back to study now.........

It's a lovely sunny day here.......not to hot, not to cold and not blowing a gale..........the weather is ridiculous lately..........some beautiful gentle soaking rain is desperately needed..........

Catch you later........

Chookyblue.......
