This week has seen the return of Heather "The Wanabee Quilting Queen" as I realised we are hurtling towards Christmas and I have not even started on the 2 quilts I should have made for my grandsons last Christmas! Oh dear ... how bad am I? So, I've decided I will be a crafting goddess over the next 8 weeks and get the quilts made, christmas cards made (for myself and my willing
My desk shows the start of George's quilt. I'm hoping to report significant progress next week, but we do have my granddaughter for a sleepover on Saturday, so craft room will become guest room again.
Please leave a comment so I know you stopped by. I'll be visiting this evening and maybe lunchtime tomorrow if I don't get round everyone. Have a lovely week, Heather xx

Wow! It sounds like you are going to be very busy in the next few weeks! Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#6)
What a lovely view from your room, Heather! If you haven't told anyone you're working on the quilts, you have all the time you need, which is why I never commit myself to deadlines if I can help it LOL. Of course, some people need the deadlines to get their behinds into gear, but I just find them so stressful. Have fun with your young visitor on Saturday! zsuzsa #16
PS. Happy belated birthday and happy candle making! :)
Lovely to sit and look out of that window! hope you find a good cake recipe - my mum always used to make a fabulous cake with her mother's recipe but I've not made one myself - it would take me too long to eat it all by myself! Helen #1
It sounds like you plan to be very busy with all those jobs to do. I enjoy all the light in the conservatory but yes can't leave anything for too long or they fade in the sunlight. Good luck in getting everything done. Wishing you a very happy though rather late woyww, Angela x13x
I was only thinking in bed last night that you hadn't been posting and I must write and see if things were ok with you. On checking I see I missed you one week and you missed last week so panic was over.
Good luck with the quilts, the cake, the cards and everything else.
I think you are very brave tackling quilt making - I am toying with simply cutting a throw down in size and hemming it - can't remember even how to thread this new machine of mine (which isn't new by now but is much unused. Can see mum's old Singer coming out as i can handle that beauty.
have a good week
Hugs, Neet xxx
It sounds like you're very busy at the moment. I love the colours outside your window - what a stunning view.

Good luck with the quilting Heather. I haven't made a Christmas cake, although I made fruit cakes and decorated them with marzipan and royal icing for all three of our son's baptisms. (The youngest was 20 last weekend lol). Happy belated birthday. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Hi Heather. Thanks for popping by. You certainly have set yourself a lot to do! I must make the cake- have always made Christmas cake since I got married! 48 years of Christmas Cake! Not going to make any quilts though I wanted to see some decorations and of course make my cards! Anne X 15
My goodness, you are going to busy! Don't burnout! Happy Crafting and Happy Belated WOYWW!

Hi Heather, I too spent some time candle making, it's quite an absorbing hobby. Good luck with the quilts. I usually make our Christmas cake, but won't be happening this year. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
Sorry Im late! For a procrastinator like me, thats a hell of a target list for the next couple months. I will lend you my crown for the day when you’ve managed it all! Wow. I use Mary Berry’s Classic Christmas Cake recipe, hasn’t failed me in 20 odd years, nowadays I dont even get my printed copy out, I just google it and take my iPad to the kitchen!! You’re right, its time you made one. I’m doing the whole Christmas dinner thing for the first time in my life this year, so if I have to do something new, it’s only fair that you should too!!
