Cleaning up and more Lucy Boston and crafty things.

I forgot to share with you my purchases from Quilts in the Barn and Needles and Pins in Warryndyte, I felt that I had done very well and was pleased with what I had bought. I also purchased the panel, "Tree of Life",  now what to do with it. 

On my recent trip to Melbourne I also completed a few more Lucy Boston's, I am now going to start to put all the squares together if I do not get too distracted from other temptations. This week I am having a holiday as I am going to a quilting retreat int the blue mountains this weekend. It is being hosted by The Stitching Post and Marg Low is one of the teachers

Will try and find all the little bits required from my stash for the retreat so I will not make any unnecessary purchases, ha ha!. So.... This led me to having a clean up, oh my god 3 days later, I am still at it, where does all this stuff come from, will I ever use it in my lifetime, probably not, but I will have a great time trying.

The tree of life panel and some Dutch chintz fabrics.

A selection of fabric from Needles and Pins 

My other purchases mainly from Mary Koval and her fabric, except for the French General in the left hand corner

I bought this hand painted piece of black velvet off Mary's stand, does it not scream at you, to use it for a centre in a quilt.

More Lucy's completed.

I have really enjoyed doing the squares for Lucy, but all journeys must come to an end and now excited about getting it all together?

My other little project this week, drilling holes in china and making flowers.

Even cracked china can be drilled if you are careful.
