What have I been doing?

I am still here.  I have started work at my new job and we have a lot of visitors. It has been really great to see everyone and as a result all of my usual activities have been shelved (but not completely).

What have I been working on?  I have been hand quilting (Yes Auntie M you read right).  Never thought I hear myself say that.  I have been using pearle 8 cotton and the fantastic Jenna Kimble's redwork needles (size 9).  I am liking this sort of quilting.  Here is a sneak peak of some of the blocks I have yet to do.





I have finally got a home for my sewing machine in our new home.  For the first few weeks it lived in the hall way..now we have moved it into the lounge and I can get going on all my embroidery projects I have in my mind.  More to come on that later.

I have also been crocheting the hexagons and working on some more Georgetown Turnaround circles.  I have to take some more pictures to show you next post.
