BOM's

I have been having fun with my new BOM's and am really enjoying working on smaller sized quilts!  The first one is Chateau Hexagon by Lynette Anderson and I have finished month one.  There is space for a cute birdhouse button.  The second is Mrs Beasley's sampler quilt from the Vignette magazine.  I have actually finished piecing it together since the photo and can now work on the applique and hand stitching.  We have had so much rain lately with the promise of more to come at the end of the week.  The nice thing about that is the chance to stay indoors near the fire and catch up on my sewing.  And a little bit of baking too.  These biscuits are becoming my favourite chocolate chip cookies to make.  The kids seem to be enjoying them too judging by how quickly the cookie tin empties!  I have put the recipe on my recipe page if anyone wants to try them.  Wendy xx

  28. Beautiful BOM work there Wendy - you are taking obviously advantage of the time indoors to do some gorgeous stitching and yum baking... Will have to teach myself that scary-looking needle turn, as I am getting the Chateau blocks too... x
