More Farmer's blocks

Betty - A dream come true. I tried to convey "dreamy" colours. I don't think my paisley is working in this one. Can always do again. I don't usually patch with purple, but it tends to go well with green.

Caroline - When I behold the heavens. Here is my version of Heaven (the light) and Earth (the dark), mixed in with paisley!!

Caroline

Belle - Gift, fun, fellowship. Christmas time sharing the dinner table with family and neighbours.

Coral - Take time for enjoyment. My interpretation of the "blue jay bird" outside the window, spending time with Mother.

2015 rolling along nicely

Believe it or not, but I am still patchworking, but as I often do, I forget to blog my progress... 

I have two themed Christmas projects ready to the binding stage, only 11 months to get them ready! One is my first advent calendar and another, a very long table runner.

I also started on my Star Wars bag, but progress has been slow in the sewing room due to the hot days and nights. I would rather it be a warm day than cold, but I'm not used to 30 degree days with nor'west winds making it even drier. I have a bottle of water at my side as I type and one of my cats is sitting on one of my projects so that's a good excuse as any not to sew!

Quilted and ready for next step

Let the wonder begin...

The thing I wonder about at the moment is whether this blog will work with dial-up.... and whether the tiny 10 week old kitten attempting to jump onto the keyboard will land on the delete key... Before I load any patchworking let me introduce you to the little bean!
