I was delighted when the white van man appeared, I rushed back inside and I was soooo excited...... I cut the tape and started to imagine all the goodies I could store in the strong brown box!!! Then came more excitement...... it was packed with thick brown paper (a little like craft) I dumped the contents and rushed upstairs to iron my paper and look lovingly at the creations I would use it for..........it was 2 hours later that I finally remembered I had not opened the machine itself!!!
My quilt is now coming along well, I am up to the filling and backing step next........ I thought I would give you a peek at the first six squares, not all a perfect fit, but.. for my first attempt and not having the correct tools or knowledge... not too bad!! made from 2 1/2 inch by 6 1/2 inch strips sewn together. The pattern is known as log cabin.
I think I need more of a life!!!
Hope you are looking forward to your week-end

Wow Tilly, its looking pretty perfect to me. And I certainly see no shame in spending two hours ironing paper! Thats completely normal........to us crafters anyway! Though I would go shouting it about too much or the next white van you see coming to your door might be carrying guys in white coats and they may put you in a nice white coat of your own that allows you to hug yourself, lol.
