Little Jude is really growing up, he loves books especially the ones with the different textures, there is so much these days to stimulate babies, Kate is due to give birth at the beginning of March, I wonder what Jude will think of a new baby, we don't know what she is having she  wants a surprise this time, I shall just be glad when it's over and they are both safe.

It is a bitterly cold day today, Kathleen and I went shopping for food and we were really glad to get home in the warm, we start back at our sewing class on Thursday, we are looking forward to that, I want to start a new quilt, I have some nice fabrics but I am not quite sure which pattern to do.
I am dreading moving all the stuff from my sewing room when we find a new property, there is so much but it will give me a good opporunity to sort stuff out.

What a week, the weather has been interesting to say the least, the photo is of our garden which looked very pretty, the summerhouse looked like a Swiss chalet, the birds were very busy and we made sure there was lots of seed for them.

The small baby quilt is for our next door neighbour who had a little boy last week, with all the snow I have been able to piece and quilt it this week it's nearly finished.

Good News! for us anyway, we have accepted an offer for our house, we now have to find somewhere to live, it will be nice if we can move ready for the  summer but, there is not a lot of property out there at the moment so we are hoping with the spring coming people will start putting their property on the market, I am dreading having to pack up all our stuff, we have lived here for 16 years and accumulated a lot of "stuff", I think the charity shops will do well in the next few months we want to move into a smaller property so that means getting rid of a lot of our Furniture it is going to be quite hard, on the plus side it will be exciting to look for things to furnish a new house.

Hope you are not suffering too much with the Snow.

Here are my first three Framed Hexagons, I joined the Framed Hexagon Club on designsbyfee, they are really nice to do, you can just go on collecting them until you have enough,  want to make a quilt so I will keep on collecting them for a while, you an also do applique ones, I am hand quiltng a large quilt at the moment so these make a nice change.
It is snowing here today and very cold, a lovely day for sewing.

 

 

Here is my CJQP 2012 completed, I have put them all together to create a wallhanging for our bedroom, I am really happy with the result.

I am looking forward to a change in the weather so that I can get at the garden, ther is a lotg of old dead stuff that needs removing, I have noticed some bulbs poking through and some nice new green shoots on some of the shrubs, it would be nice to get out there but is very wet and cold so I will probably have to wait a little bit longer.

 

 

Here are my last two squares for CJQP2012 YAY! I am looking forward to seeing them when put together to make a wallhanging for our bedroom.
Jude and Grandad putting together his new
garage on Christmas day, we had a really lovely time at Kate and Steve's they did a great dinner it was nice not to have to cook. Jude was a real little darling and took everything in his stride enjoying every minute of the day, what a lovely memory.

Wishing You all a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas and a New Year full of Joy.

Two more blocks for CJQP 2012, I have just two left to finish and then I can put it together, I will make the blocks into a wallhanging for our bedroom, these pictures are a little blurry I was tired when I took them.
Kathleen and I have been shopping today, it is very cold and due to get colder, we have nearly finished the Christmas shopping now just got all the packageing to do, I must admit that is not my favourite job and I am always relieved when it is done.
