here is E4:
I started another A2, only this time I printed it out the right size! But on Saturday I thought I'd better make my step 2 of Bonnie's Orange Crush mystery quilt. I finished these split 4 patches on Sunday
they still need trimming etc. I had to do them the old fashioned way as I still haven't had a chance (or robbed a bank LOL) to buy the Easy Angle and now the Companion Angle rulers needed for this project.
The Quilting Pirate bought her ruler for $2.50 and then another for 97 cents!!!. I can't seem to find one in the UK for cheaper than around $18 including postage.
I also made DS1 a new schoolbag with a zip pouch in the front to carry his 'to and fro' book.
I used some shark fabric that Kate had sent me a while back.
The 'to and fro' book is a really sweet book that the teacher writes in to let us know what he gets up to at Nursery.
The back is also shark fabric that I bought from my friend Angela who has an Ebay shop.
DS1 loves sharks (hope he doesn't mind the rick-rack LOL)
And here's a lovely parcel from Nicolette.
We did a private fabric swap. Nicolette sent me rose fabric and I sent her some African fabrics. We were both pleased with this swap. I got sweets too mmm! And inspiration for another project.
Thanks Nicolette, these fabrics will go beautifully in my rose hexagon quilt...
On the side I have also been handquilting DS1's baby quilt. A lot overdue, but here it is.
Only two blocks and the borders still to go....

You’ve been so busy!! Love the handquilting on DS1’s baby quilt and the sharky bag!
Your hexagon rosegarden quilt is stunning! Enjoy the fabrics!
Wow - Karol-Ann you've come back from SA raring to go. Don't think we can keep up with you ! All great stuff. Lovely to see the hexagons - I've put mine on simmer too - lol !
The quilting on your DS1 quilt is so great. I say as Andrea we can´t keep up with you.
ooh I love the quilting on your heart quilt...it's really pretty.
Isn't your son a good model! The bag looks great and I'm sure will be well loved and used...and NO one will have the same! Always a bonus at nursery!
How do you fit it all in? I'm really impressed with the NYB you've made - I'm going to give them a go soon. I'm just refreshing my memory about foundation piecing before I start on them.
Thanks for sharing it all.
That little tote is a great idea. I have been trying to think of what to give to a 5 year old as a fun little gift- I think a Tote, with a fabric covered notepad (and replacement) and some crayons. Stickers. something like that. Hmm... another protject started!
