Things have been rather busy over the last week or so but I have managed to snatch a few minutes here and there to start on the handmade quilt. I am going for a samplere technique - 12 inch squares with different patterns on them. To coordinate the fabric I am aiming to keep the same blue background for each square and keep oddments of each fabric for a stripey border. Well - thats the theory anyway!
On a different note I am being side tracked by a fabulous website - http://www.swap-bot.com/ . Its a site where swaps of all sorts of different materials and crafts take place across the world. I am looking forward to my first two packages from the USA. It makes a change from the usual bills.
On the finance front I have made an inventory of my store cupboard and freezer with the aim of utilising produce already purcased rather than spending more money.
