i have been looking at this bundle for a couple of days had it in my basket twice then when it jumped in a third time well i couldnt say no to it :)))

new york beauty and quarter of a goose !! plus other stuff

well hello everybody i must tell you that is beautiful sunny day here :)))wonderful it is about time !!
i am showing you my 2nd new york beauty as you can see it has a few issues but after showing it to katy http://thelittlestthistlecraftshop.blogspot.co.uk/ she gave me some great tips so now i will put them in to practice for the next block. 

 

this is a little card wallet that i made from this tutorial http://veryberryhandmade.co.uk/2011/03/03/a-tutorial-folding-card-wallet/ i just used charm squares joined 2 together for the outer and inner fabric worked out well slightly bigger not much than the tutorial one ,i have made it for lynda and am making her a pillow for 4th of july the pillow top is below
 

 

 

 

 this is my first quarter of the flying geese block from http://thelittlestthistlecraftshop.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/foundation-paper-piecing-for-terrified_12.html again it has issues but i am going to have another go and make sure i place the fabric in the right place :)))

 

least but not last i had a night out on thursday Katy had invited me to go to the meeting of WCSMQG ,but guess what i made it this month but it was just me and Katy think the date caught everyone out ,in fact if Katy had not e-mailed me i would have thought it was next week too anyhow it was good and i saw her amazing quilt http://thelittlestthistlecraftshop.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/work-in-progress-wednesday.html this photo is not showing it off to its best i can tell you it is gorgeous :)))
i have done a few of those sew happy quilt blocks but i was not doing them in a co ordinating fabrics so i think they look too scrappy i must get fabric and do it right :))

i have just started doing a bit of crochet !!! my friend lynda down the road wants to learn how to ......................i have not done any for years so of course i said i will teach you so i have been busy granny squaring also small flower making for a couple of pins to get her going  and to make sure i know what i am doing before the first lesson :)))
you will be seeing pics naxt time !!

my new york beauty !!!!

this is my first quartier of the new york beauty block i never thought that i would do any of them but it seems that i took the chance and did it !! i know that it is out in the corner :((( 

this is the ring done just looking how it will be when i have the rest done :))) 

i bought some king tut from http://www.barnyarns.co.uk/500-yd-Reels-c-2014.html here and it was very quick to be delivered also i bought at the same time the titanium coated needles spend over £15 for free delivery i suppose i might have got them cheaper elsewhere must admit didnt do a massive search on them the colour of the thread is josephs coat it is varigated . 

 

then these came :))) i had tried stamping labels but thought they were messy but i have not done any stamping before either :)) i just wanted something to put on stuff that i make i got them here http://www.labelname.co.uk/ just the standard one they are easy to do and you see them before you order again good service . 

well here is the beauty on its way to being finished i dont know if it will be a wall hanging or cushion ...........prob a cushion  

 

i used the king tut on it it looks better in real life than any photo  

 

the center circle.i was left with quite a wide un quilted track so thats how it has got the ziggy zaggy on it ............right i need to get on with some house work :)))
