Last day of the month

Its been a good month for quilting as I haven't been feeling my usual energetic self - after loads of blood tests and scans it seems I have numerous gallstones - not life-threatening but a nuisance!

Finished my table mats and almost finished the girls quilts and 2 table runners.  I started on a large lap quilt/throw for the lounge room using the Disappearing 9 patch (D9P) pattern.  The pieces are laid out on the craft room floor ready to finalise positions and sew together.

We had gas heating put in a week ago and its fabulous - just in time as the temperatures dipped to 5 the other night.  We are getting solar panels next week so that should keep electricty prices down a bit too.  Here's some photos of my latest sewing efforts.

Our local fabric shop in Blackwood is up for sale - hopefully the business will carry on.  There were loads of bargains and I treated myself to a stash to keep me going.  Not bad for $50
