Butterfly Kisses


Progress on this quilt has been slow. First I got myself those two jobs and that took alot of my stitching time away.
Then I had to wait for the quilters to have the time to fit me in as they were working on quilts for all the fire victims. Winter was coming so I did not mind having to wait.
So now it is finally finished and although not perfect, I learnt lots.
I really like this finished product.
Its only the second quilt I have made so I am pretty proud of myself.
see ya

You have done a good job with this quilt. The colours go well together.

I have only ever attempted one quilt in different colour blues which is still not finished. Just needs finishing off, I should go get it out and do the hand sewing at night while watching tv. I have only been doing it about 4 years! LOL.

Fabulous! That's one on my list of things to do (ie) Make a quilt... Hey Angela, because i was just chatting to a neighbour about her son & just noticed (by co-incidence?) that you had popped in on my bloggy & that your hubby and son are mechanic & apprentice, i wondered if i might be so chEEky as to ask a question of your hubby?...
My neighbour's son is an apprentice mechanic & has just been asked today after finishing his shift, if he will come back to work tonight & do a job from midnight to 8am with one other mechanic (for a regular days pay) to do a job that he has been told is carcinogenic... He has been told that the job needs to be done while there are no other workers around because of the danger & will be suitably attired & given a mask... My concern is that the job sounds rather dangerous & if so why get an inexperienced apprentice on the job AND not pay him penalties? Does the industry do time and a half or any such thing? (Or am i living in the dark ages! Lol!) Don't feel obligated to answer, i just thought it was an interesting co-incidence & thought what harm is there to ask? (Maybe i'm just being a nervous nanny but having dealt with cancer myself, my radar went up when i heard the word "carcinogenic" or is it common in the industry?) My email is : nollyposh@hotmail.com Thanks chickie X:-) Hope ya horsey won???

Hello Angela
That is a very 'dramatic' looking quilt isn't it. Actually it looks quite complicated, I like the impression it gives of being too big in one direction - where one block runs over the edge - was it hard to do?
Great news about the extra loss - keep on going (only one way - and thats down lol)
Take care
Cathy
