A Message from Mel

A while ago I admired a pincushion that Leanne had made. As bloggers do, she offered to send me the pattern so I can make it too. Not only that she sent me a lovely floral fat quarter which will be ideal for the backing and one of her famous cards featuring Mel. I always enjoy reading about Mel's exploits so I am thrilled to have my own Mel card. Thanks Leanne.



Not much else newsworthy to share tonight so I'll give you another sneaky peek at one of the secret projects I'm currently working on. This one is nearly finished - I will be counting it towards Peg's Finish Five challenge.



A couple of days ago I discovered a new Tasmanian blog called If Only I had Chocolate. What a great name .... from reading your blogs I know lots of you relate to that sentiment! Know I do. I'm sure Sarah would love people to drop by and say hi.

    Pretty sneak peak. I just finished a quilt using these fabrics from a charm pack. I am tempted to go buy more for my stash.
