The wonky quilt turned out almost as good as I imagined -- I had thought I would use a white on white fabric but there was none available so I have to go with the green on white print. It gives a different look to the one that was in my mind but looks pretty good anyway!<br /><br />Any time spent with my dear boys and DD is wonderful but sharing my hobbies with them is even more fantastic!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-42088296801649094942015-07-28T10:44:30.807+10:002015-07-28T10:44:30.807+10:00It was a great delight to spend time with DD and t...It was a great delight to spend time with DD and the Grandsons at Easter when they were here and in their home town for ten days in June. We rented a house for ourselves and our mothers. We had the days to ourselves (with DD) because the boys were at pre-school but shared the evening meal with our daughter and the family every day.<br />I love the wonky design -- it took me months to work out how I was going to make those odd shaped blocks work but once I figured it out, it came together quickly and looks fabulous (if I do say so myself)! <br /><br />The quilting is taking a long time -- I have set myself quite a challenge in terms of straight lines and lots of ends to sew in but I will get it done eventually -- just not by this Thursday which was my original goal!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-76395155792511298652015-07-28T10:39:38.018+10:002015-07-28T10:39:38.018+10:00Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and...Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and leave a comment. Thank you, too, for you sweet comment about teaching kids to sew -- I was formerly a primary school teacher so it just seemed so natural to me. And my Older Grandson is generally a very sensible, responsible boy (for a five year old). <br /><br />I taught my daughter to sew when she was in primary school and she loves to quilt but doesn't have the time at the moment with two very active sons, aged five and four. Perhaps in 2017 when they are both at school. I also taught her to knit and she was never interested until she realised that her knitting could be used to help others stay warm; now she knits as her crafting outlet.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-56549092939132744172015-07-28T10:36:09.075+10:002015-07-28T10:36:09.075+10:00t certainly was wonderful to spend time with the f...t certainly was wonderful to spend time with the family. They were here for a few days at Easter and we were there for ten days in June. We rented a house for ourselves and both our mothers, but shared the evening meal with them every day. DD and the Grandboys will be here for a few days in September -- we're really looking forward to that time too!<br /><br />I am working slowly on the quilting for the wonky log cabin -- what I have chosen to do looks good but is very time consuming. I don't think I will have it quilted and bound by Thursday morning and I've stopped putting pressure on myself to do so -- this is my hobby, after all!

My daughter now makes her own quilts and does her own free-motion quilting too.
