Making Presents

Instead of buying Easter presents I made the teachers a needle book.  I made a few mistakes but it was my first  attempt.....





I have also been finishing more Georgetown Turnaround blocks....





and I have been crocheting again.  Its growing..... albeit very slowly

VoilĂ , Ta-dah, Hooray........

It's FINISHED...(well all except the quilting).  Totally hand pieced and it only took 2.5 years to finish.

  






I am just not sure that I am brave enough or patient enough to hand quilt this.

....And just so you don't think I have been absent for all this time and doing nothing...I am experimenting with fruit cakes.  I made this one which is a peach cake....it is from the latest Better Homes and Gardens and it is a from Weight Watchers...does that mean I can have more because it was very yummy.




I have also made a yummy pineapple cake from the Woman's Weekly via Auntie H...I just forgot to take a photo and this was very yummy as well...I will just have to make another so that I can take a photo.
