B&W quilt - work in progress

and now for something completely different ......................

Random log cabin style blocks in a wide range of B&W cotton prints

Plan is once pieced and ALL put together will over-dye and spray paint - which will soften the effect .....but I may just keep it sharp and do again for over-dyeing LOL

Whatever it is great fun

Just lots and lots B&W prints some white and some black sliced up in a range of widths across the yardage ..........taken me a couple of years to gather all the prints from a variety of suppliers

Thanks Graham at Joan Panico and Carl at Cotton Cloths who have been just the greatest in fabric supply - quality fabrics at really good prices!

Work in Progress - something glamorous ...................glittery ...................this way comes

Work in Progress on .............. another crochet goody ............ well something in yummy colours black with contrasting stripes - a cotton yarn with a subtle golden-pewter sparkle ...............

Eveningy - dressy

something for that special LBD or event ...................... so watch this space for the big reveal ..............

I may be pretty ill at the moment as in legs being rather wobbly - but am managing to crochet

.........................

Last night a bad night - nightmares of ...............GIANT HUGE GINORMOUS HAIRY TRANTULA like SPIDERS!!!!!!!! so big that when you opened the door it was cramped un inside a whole room- filling all the available space - now how nasty is that .........?????!!!!!!! Was truly a Halloween fest of a nightmare ...... erggghhhh Worse than any film!!!!

I am sure it was result of my seeing a huge spider padding across the carpet, with great purpose, a few weeks back - despite its huge size (saucer size/side plate size - it was big believe me!! ) it moved to fast for me to get it! Not that I can move very fast these days ...... :-((( ............

It scuttled under the furniture as it surely could read my intent ...... i.e. it was you or me chum ............. and this is MY space not yours!!!!!!!!!!.......its feet positively thudded across the floor as it made its getaway - uggggggggggggghhhhh shudder ugh

Not seen ...........................again .........yet ..................... but need bigger slippers than mine to flatten it!!! Only room for one of us and its not that hairy beast!!
