Five dolls. Finished.
The spiderweb. Growing.
The long side is 77 inches, and will actually be the width. The short side is 55 inches, and needs probably 2 more rows on it. Originally I had planned for 7 x 8 setting, but now I think I'd like a square quilt instead. My decision has nothing at all to do with the husband saying 'don't you think it's quite big enough like that?' No, he has no influence on me at all. It is going to be big, and I have no idea where it's going to live, because it doesn't actually go with our bedroom. It would go in Miss G's room, but she has an abundance of quilts that are lovely, so has no need for another. Ginger is all quilted out too, and this one is a little girly. Plus, it's mine. I don't intend sharing it. Maybe I'll share it with the cats, or possibly on a cold winter evening watching TV with the rest of the family. It's going to have to live in the sitting room, but it'll be a lap quilt for a giant.
Gingers hex quilt. Finished (finally). The top was finished back in August 2008. Yikes. I loved making this quilt. It was one of the first quilty things I ever made, and I really enjoyed piecing it. Quilting it, not so. I tried hand quilting, but failed miserably, so I 'tied' it using buttons in the middle of each 'flower'. Maybe one day I'll go back to hand quilting it. As it is, Ginger loves it, and that is all that matters.
Last minute baby quilt. Finished.
Nice work, Missus Monkey.
That makes a grand total of 7 finishes this week. If I count each doll individually, which I'm going to do, because it sounds totally impressive and makes me feel incredibly smug.
Tomorrow I am off on the choo-choo train down to the big smoke to meet a new baby (hence the quilt). Watch this space for tales of broodiness and itchy ovaries. Again.
I am also going for a new tattoo. Cue much excitement and clapping of hands in glee. I'm not telling you any more about it until I get back. All I will say is that I think it's going to be my absolute favourite tattoo yet, and I am GIDDY with excitement.
Have a wonderful weekend, whatever you are doing.

Fabulous quilts... if only I had the patience! Have a great w/e in London.
Woohoo for loads of finishes!!
Have a lovely time down in the Big Smoke.
Surely nothing can be cooler than my favouritest of your tattoos - that fabulous moustache.
Suggest antihistamine preventative for probable itchiness - not sure how you would apply it but ...
Those dolls are so cute!!
Seven finishes! My head is spinning! I ADORE that spiderweb quilt!
Loving your creative energy this week and am totally in love with Ginger's quilt.
So, does the train ride to the big smoke mean more reading? :)
7 finished projects?! Woah, you are on a roll. I was wrapped just to finish two. Love the dolls and the hexagons. So sweet. :)
i wish i was even 1% as productive as you lady!
love those dollies x
ooooo looking forward to checking out your new ink!
Well you'd have to count each doll as they are sooo cute ! Great quilts too .
what an impressive bunch of projects! The dolls are so adorable. Truly impressed. And that most wonderful spiderweb quilt, ahhh. If you're ever looking for a foreign exchange home, we'd be happy to take it in for a time. We'd even take it to visit the Grand Canyon or Disneyland to make sure it had a great time in America. BTW, do you need anymore strips for your quilt??
So much wonderful stitching.
I'm jealous of your productivity!!!
Have fun with your new tat!!
Andi :-)
I am so in love with your spiderweb! The dots, the colors, the fabric.... The dolls are darlings, and the hexagon quilt looks very inviting. You are making so many pretty and fabulous things, what's in your diet? I want some of that too!!
Enjoy your weekend, it's very well deserved...
