Happy New Year 2017

Wow it's 2017 and this is my first post for the year.  It may seem to some that I have not been doing much, but when I am at my quietest is when lots of things get done.

 I finally finished quilting my Dear Jane quilt just before the end of 2016.  Very happy with myself now that I have become one of the group to have actually finished this quilt.





I have decided to slowly work through all the hand quilting I have, and let me tell you l can hardly see over the pile...haha.  First item is simple my Fussy cut Hexies, which is tending to be quilted circles, unless the material tells me something different, I am nearly finished.



I have also been crocheting a fair bit since the end of last year, seems to be a thing I have to get out of my system.  So I made this afghan in blocks and crochet together as I went, love how nicely it went together.  The second afghan I had in a bag at the back of the cupboard for I don't know how long.  Most of it I pulled out and started again. Very happy how this one turned out as well.



This afghan is all hexagons, which I am partial to, it is all made from Tapestry Wool.  The pattern is called African flower.


I have also made a few bags, very quick and easy.



I was very excited to finish my Christmas Wreath in time to hang on the front door.  Inspiration taken from Attic 24, love her work.
