ladmquilter says:

Lynz I have already been thinking about the fabric too! if she is doing the neptune style of hexie I will use neptune because I love that quilt and I already have 2 jelly rolls and a honey bun. If she is doing either by hand or the flip and stitch method I am not sure what fabric still more thinking to do. I really need to use the fabric I have...we'll see.

Dee - that's actually a grand idea having a wee hand project while Miss is off riding but it's still to cold here! Even with the heat on in the car (how un-eco!) it's finger freezing. But soon, I hope. The bulbs are starting to pop up - spring is springing!!

DUST?!? With our climate it's the MUD that is everywhere (it's a farm based stable!) and the smell, a'course. Good job I holidayed on a dairy farm as a child - poo smells are a weird reminiscent thing for me!!

MEEEEE!!! *grins* Reason and logic is a bit Vulcan for me, anyway. I'd be a Klingon. I'm blaming the delerium on the cold-induced lack of sleep. Colds suck. Or blow. They're not nice, anyway.

Gives a peek, Julie, g'wan!

I've finished all my pinwheel blocks, though! Well, all except one problem one I have to make up. I'll maybe bend your ears about it tomorrow. Time for bed, said Zebedee! (British 70's children's telly at its greatest!!)
