The zig zags thought they could phase me, they thought I could be broken easily. Not so easily, Mister. This Monkey is one tough cookie (actually, I'm not, I'm a complete wuss...but work with me, ok?)
But in the future when I try something I will not enter into it thinking 'oh that's sooooooo easy'. Because then things get complicated and you mess up. A lesson to be learned, kids - use your brain, don't think you can sew a zig zag block whilst singing loudly, the unpicker and you will become incredibly closely acquainted.
So that's the blocks done for Tine. Nice work, if I do say so myself.
And another little accomplishment of the week is this doll quilt I have made for a swap with Anita (who has 2 flipping great massive zig zag quilts on her blog today - don't look at them, it will make you realise my little 15.5 inch block is quite amateur).
I heart Liberty. Indeed, and so does she.
Ok, back to the machine. I have one more doll quilt to finish and mail before I go away on Thursday. I started it, I got it almost done, I hated it. So back to the drawing board and some late night sewing for me tonight, I think.

What discipline! You can't fake good zigzags. Nicely done. And I adore that Liberty, every time!
Great job, the zigzags came out nice! I love the orange and pink together.
Your quilting is beautiful, my favourite is your liberty heart. Jane x
I love those zig zags, want to try them but am a tad scared! The heart is charming too.
I've posted about how the International Women's Day FQ swap will work. I know you're going away, so if you get your swap in the mail a little late that's okay.
I have a little favour to ask of you, I hope you don't mind. I was hoping that you might display a button on your blog (coz i know lots of folk visit you) to promote a handmade fundraising effort for the Victorian bushfire appeal.
There's more info on my blog, including a link to where you can get the html for the button.
Hugs, Kelly :-)
