I spy with a difference
This is an "I spy" with a difference. There are flaps with pictures underneath that match the blocks without flaps.
It is a wall-hanging as it has a white background.
Ophelia
Here is my latest effort. Unfortunately I went "off with the fairies" while I was trimming the large blocks and cut the wrong side of the block. This only happened once, thankfully. The magazine is QuiltTrends, August 2014. The original pattern was in grey and yellow with striped damask.

So, What's next
It has been a long time since I last posted here, what with camera problems or missing cords. I bought a new camera for my birthday. No excuses now.
Over the Christmas break I have been quite busy making quilts and bags and finishing off a few runners.
This afternoon I completed two bags and found fabric for more. There are two quilts ready to go to the quilter. There is a third almost complete however I need a trip to Spotlight for some haberdashery items before I can finish it. Another quilt is slowly growing on my design wall but it needs more fabric (of course).
By the way, I did finish the Storm at Sea quilt, I gave it to my sister for her birthday last October. She was quite impressed. I can't find the photo for it yet, I may have to ask her to take a pic for me.
It is 60" square.

Tumbling Blocks
I started to make a tablecloth with these diamond-shaped pieces of batiks. Still a long way to go. When I eventually sew them together, I will need to place them facing the same way.
A little jacket for a little girl
This was the easiest knitting I've done for a long time. Thick yarn and size 5.00mm needles, it as knitted from the right sleeve to the left sleeve. I added the buttons later.
Soft toys
I found patterns for these toys in craft books, I gave them to my two younger grandchildren. They received one of each.
