I remembered…
So many projects on my once-my-thesis-is-finished list, I really didn’t know where to start. But I felt like playing with colour, so I pulled out my not-quite-finished Birds in Flight quilt (Wow, it’s nearly two years since I finished the top, and I still haven’t quilted it! Probably because I got over-ambitious about what I…
It's not a new hobby, honestly (yeah, I'm not convinced either)
ou know how I keep saying I have too many hobbies? And that I really really don’t need any more, especially of the crafty variety that involve a large investment in tools and material (not to mention time)? And that I’m really really really going to stick to just quilting and cross-stitch and lace making…

The last one, definitely the last one.
That is SERIOUSLY impressive though, I love it…. the mental sparks are flying… GAH! I have too many PHDs already, can’t possibly start a new project. WANT to though!
I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
