Just a quick post, I'm starting a quilt class next Tuesday night at Kilbora Quilt Shoppee http://kilboraquiltshop.blogspot.com/ and i cant wait:)

I got some fat quarters from there last week so going to try some English paper piecing over the weekend.
I found some great hexagon templates on moxyideas.com here a link http://moxyideas.com/?page_id=328&cpage=2#comment-4449

  4. Hi Mel....
    Your blog looks great. I like the photos of the jam making - I could almost smell how yummy it was! I made hampers for family Christmas presents last year, and made vanilla flavoured sugar (so so simple!) in lovely jars, and also flavoured oils which seemed to be popular.

    I am new to blogging too, so hope you don't mind that I have decided to follow you. It's addictive though, so beware the time that seems to be spent blogging, and reading other people's blogs!
