Cheater Panel

This is a cheater panel I bought for £1.25 from the fabric guild , I hand quilted it , the sides are small samples called quilters mix , I vaguely think they were about £2 , the colours were just right to extend the quilt . I now measures approx 54 x 46 inches , I always enjoy these colour shades

Yesterday I bought a piece of pink fabric with butterflies on from Laura Ashley, This afternoon I made 2 cushion covers from it .

I shall probably be digging in my stash for something else small enough to do . I have no enthusiasm to do a big project . Is it tiredness at the end of the winter ? I don,t know . Anyway it will soon be all systems go in the garden , that is my second love .

Hi !! Its me again !!LOL!!!Just want to clear something up a bit ....
You don't walk off every meal ,you chose which one you want to walk off. Lots of people thinks they have to walk off every one . No.....

My sister is doing the meal plan and she goes to the gym and is not doing the walks . The meal plan is about a 1200 cal diet . Good luck to you and let me know how you do !!

Now that is something I could make. I tried making the radiant start, just couldn't get the points right. Very pretty quilt...even for a cheater panel.

Read your comment on my blog, Thank you so much. When OH had triple bypass open heart surgery five years ago, I had an hour's travelling time each way to visit him and would go during the afternoon, have dinner with him, (hospital food, (yuck), stay until 8:00 p.m. and did that for three weeks. I was exhausted. Then answering the phone from friends and family wanting to know how "he" was, and as as you say they never seem to enquire about the caregiver.
Don't get me wrong I was pleased that they called, but!!!! Once again, thanks, I am going the florist this weekend and buy myself some hyacinths.
