Thimbleberries Quilt Quilted
This is a kit I was working on last year and got off to the quilter early this year. Betty has done a wonderful job again so now I have to get the binding completed on this.
Welcome winter nights and snuggling under a quilt doing the binding.
I have tried doing a couple of collages in Picasa so I can show a few pics of the one thing. I have tried a few posts and failed when I was trying to put in several pics so tried to do it this way as the pics come in as one. So far so good.
Happy 100th dragonfly!!!!
By the way http://www.dragonfly-crafts.blogspot.com/ has posted her 100th post and has a little giveaway.
Check her out as she fiddles with lots of material craft stuff and enjoys swaps. She also likes purple.

Where do Little Girls come from?????????
A few people have commented on my Little Girls. So to answer a few questions……..
What I call my Little Girls is actually Little Sweethearts but for me it is just not right. I got the pattern from Totally Patchwork. It came as a block of the month a few years ago but I didn’t get it done then. This year it is my goal to get it complete.
Each row has alternate little girl and then a heart. The hearts are lots of work also and I don’t really like that many which is probably why I didn’t get into this when I was receiving it a few years ago. I do love the little girls though and decided not to do the hearts at all.
There are 39 little girls in this quilt and I am about ¼ of the way through them. I have really enjoyed stitching them. (Sorry not the best picture)
While I have been sitting with the cattle down the road I have been getting some stitching complete. It will be for my little princess so I have to get moving before she is toooo old for it. She does love the girls but I am not sure she knows why I am sewing them.
Anyway the little girls have come to a stand still since Sunday afternoon. We have been shearing all our sheep and I have spent several days on the 4 wheel motorbike (which gave me a very sore hand so much – no stitching for a few days) mustering all our sheep as my husband was in the shearing shed and the inlaws have helped out with the cattle down the road. It has been a very hectic week and I am absolutely exhausted. Oh that’s right I also went to work one day in town.
After I catch up on my sleep I will need some time in my house which I have not had now for a month. Thank goodness the kids are on school holidays now for 2 weeks as that wipes out a couple of jobs.
More later……………

New baby and present for my baby girl!!!!
Officially meet 701.
After trying to post this last night and failing (I hate blogger at the moment) I am going for the last time on this one. As promised a pic of my latest baby. He is very cute. Also Mum and baby. We actually have 2 new babies down there but the other one is not mine.
Then the cup cake is for my little princess as she had a morning with me shopping for material in 2 shops and several hours in the car.

Then the cup cake is for my little princess as she had a morning with me shopping for material in 2 shops and several hours in the car. This is what she found at the second shop and seems as she had been soooo good I got it for her. It looks so real but is a little trinket cup cake. She loves it.
I was shooping for a engagement/wedding quilt and I am using the Faded Memories range which I discovered are in short supply. Between my trip to 2 shops and 2 stops in the net I think I now have enough material. Will try and take a pic of the material this arvo.
Down to the cows again.
