Hi all,
I have had a couple of computer problems which had hubby up til 1.30am last night! They are fixed now, YAY, so I am back!
You can read about why Lee started WIP Wednesday over on her blog Freshly Pieced. I am just doing a quick post this week, not a great start but the misbehaving computer played a big role in my being late.
I really wanted to show you this quilt that I have been working on, which is why I am doing my WIP post late rather than waiting until next week!
This is my Charm Bracelets quilt, pattern by Kate Conklin, just basted! Sorry about the poor quality photos, I used my mobile phone, but actually they look better than I expected!
I basted this baby at my mums, also where I work, because she has a huge table that we use for cutting out mass quantities of work related stuff but it is also great for basting large quilts.
I am waiting on some new threads to arrive so I can start quilting it. Hopefully I will have it done in a couple of weeks! Ha Ha, I wouldn’t hold my breath but I can be hopeful!
You may also notice a few changes on my blog – new header (I designed it on EQ7) and matching colours. There are also a couple of new buttons – click on them to see where they lead! The WIP wednesday button, the Inchy Flower Swap button – a swap I have joined where we swap hexie flowers, and Bee in Oz button (I also designed this one in EQ7) – a virtual quilting bee I have joined through Flickr. Next year is starting to look busy! You can also sign up for Another Little Quilt Swap 5 anytime before the due date for the pics, check it out, this is another fun swap!
Whew, I am outta breath!
Be happy,
Jess

Cute quilt. I really like that pattern.
Your quilt looks great Jess and I love the new changes to your site!!
Your new quilt is absolutely fantastic! That's a pattern I would want to make too. And I love your new look (I mean your blog not you literally;). You certainly have you work cut out for the next year. Cheers Vreni x
I really love your quilt, Jess! Do you hand baste rather than pin?
The colours on your quilt work so well together. Its looking great! And your blog is looking really nice.
