The Green Quilt

Yay- I finally uploaded these pictures. It's only taken my half my life. Alright - maybe about half an hour... This is another quilt - my most recent. It's called Indian Summer and it was a free pattern on the internet. I had decided to use a heap of fabrics from a stash that I had so cut out many pieces and sewed a block - and then realised that the colours looked awful together. So a quick dash to Spotlight (when you make as many mistakes as I do, you can't afford the expensive fabric) to get fabric that matched better. I now have about 120 triangles waiting for something they do look good with... I'll probably find them in another five years. The quilt was machine pieced and hand quilted. I would have machine quilted it, but still don't have the hang of that yet. I'm not really sure what shape this blog will take. It probably won't be a quilt blog (since hand quilting takes me forever, it will be a long time between quilts...) but these are the images I took the other week using a friends camera. I'll post other stuff once I get my own camera.

My pedestal fan just spontaneously fell apart. One minute it was standing as it should, the next it was on the floor. What is it with me and appliances? First the fridge, now the fan. Maybe it's a sign that I should be doing work instead of blogging. Or that I shouldn't buy cheap fans from discount shops. Or that I should keep my receipts and warranties (well, I started doing that religiously after I bought the fan). As long as the washing machine, sewing machine and computer decide to stay intact (touch wood) then I shall survive. Though I don't know that I'll do well at surviving the upcoming summer without the fan.
