ZEBRA...DON'T REALLY LIKE HIM

ZEBRA...DON'T REALLY LIKE HIM

ABOVE: this is the Zebra block I did last night.... I don't really like it... but maybe it will look alright mixed up with the other blocks on the quilt. The nostrils and eyes are paper.... as I don't have any black fabric... will be getting some today!

I am going out today... want to post some booties to a girl in Aussy (*waves*, Hi Christy!) She is having her second wee son soon! And get said black fabric, maybe some more fat quarters to make more of the Baby Quilt blocks... Not sure what else...

OH and I have decided... NO MORE CARBS. I did really well doing that... so I'm going back to it. It was really easy to follow... very simple plan. NO bread, No pasta, No rice, NO starchy veges, NO cakes or biscuits. I HAVE TO DO THIS... or I will have to buy ANOTHER new wardrobe of clothes.. in XL! My jeans are almost cutting me in half... Not a good look or feeling.

ONWARD...Yaaa... I got the fabric for three more blocks. While at the shop (where I go for the Patchwork Classes) I got talking with one of the tutors about the Baby Quilt... and she has made if before and said it was MURDER to quilt as it was so thick in places... and my idea to turn each block into a wall picture was great... so am almost 100% convinced that's what I will do now.

Also went to Spotlight for some more double sided tape and came out with all sorts of shit... SOoooo should not go in there!

ABOVE: The new fabrics for three more blocks. I actually got enough for 4 blocks, one block I am doing twice in different fabrics... cos I can.

After lunch I went mad (Yes, shoot me now)... and took all my fabric out of the linen cupboard in the hallway and put it on the old TV Cabinet now in my sewing room. I can now see at one glance just what I have in my 'stash'. I don't have much eh? But one day I hope to have masses more!

So.. now I'm going to sit down and sew buttons onto ribbon for cards. Kids just got home too... and I really must remember to get the chook in the oven too!

End of Day: roast chicken for dinner... with veges... and gravy... so yum! Cut out a lion block too... hope to have it ready for sewing by the morning. Stew has gone to do a small grocery shop tonight... I was supposed to but have a bloody horrid headache... had it for three days! Eye strain I reckon. nite nite.
