I know it's been a while...

I realise it has been a while since I posted!  I've been busy with trying to finish the green log cabin quilt and I've also made a quilt top from some scrap fabric and odd fabrics that I wasn't sure I would use again which was going to be for my dog, Millie:  Here she is:-


Of course, I realise that she's being very bad and laying somewhere she shouldn't be... I just really like this picture of her!

Unfortunately for Millie, when I pieced it all together I really liked it so I've decided to keep the quilt and use it myself.  To make her feel better, I've given her a picnic quilt I made some time ago out of some old denim jeans which she's just as happy with!  So now I need to make a new picnic quilt, as well as finish this new quilt.






The green log cabin quilt is now finished - this is one of the reasons I've been so quiet of late.  It took simply ages to hand quilt each of the 'logs'.  It's kept me busy for many months now (on and off).  Here it is in all its glory...









Ann Marie - thanks for your suggestion, but I just had to turn the block around!  I know it would have bugged me to keep seeing it, and I most likely would have had to turn it to match the others at some point.  Better to be done before quilting and binding, than after!  :)
