Cycling Legs

Tonight I had a new computer experience. I got to chat to my favourite friends Ali from Britain and Cheryl from Kentucky on the new Yahoo Voice MSN. It was unreal! It will be even better when Cheryl gets her head set from Walmart today! We were talking about Jeff and the girls want to see him in all his cycling glory so here he is! He looks pretty speccy to me!

My Pirate Son

Matt had to go to a 21st a couple of weeks ago and the theme was "porn Stars" - Yeah right! Matt decided that he would be different and go as a pirate and this was the result! I think he would make a great Goth with all that black eye makup! Don't know about the hair though! He drove to the city dressed like this!
So Now I will hand the computer over to the pirate and talk to you all later! xx

I haven't really dropped off the face of the earth!...

Just busy living! I know I haven't posted in a while but I promise to do so a bit more regularly. I would write more right now but there is a tall 20 year old waiting to use the computer!

I have finally finished the row by rows. Karen's was the last one and I found it the most challenging! Karen had chosen the theme "C
hildren" and thirties fabrics. This is what I received:


















And this is what I did! It took me so long to decide what to do! It was tough! Firstly because I was the last to work on the quilt and secondly because I am not really partial to thirties stuff! I came to the conclusion that the quilt needed some more stitchery which I did - a cute little row of children waiting for a little girl on a swing. Then I realised apart from in the pattern of the fabric there were no flowers on the quilt so I added the foundation pieced tulips. The checkerboard strips were added to stop the row from being really white and bare and also helped make up the 30 inches I needed to stitch! This is the result:


I am really happy with the result and balance in the quilt and hope that Karen loves it as much as I do!
