Thanks for dropping by and Competition

Thanks to everyone who pops in to read what I've been up to here on the hill, I have changed my settings so that anyone can comment so please if you pop in leave me a message, everyone who leaves a message over the next few weeks will go in the draw to win a bag.
On Feb 16th it will be one year since my first posting so to celebrate my blogs birthday I will draw my competition, so be in it to win. I look forward to seeing how many of you leave messages.








I have found a little time to sew this week, in between many other jobs, I decided to grap a jelly roll off the shelves and make up a quilt top with it, this post and rail design was very simple and so so easy with the pre cut Jelly roll. I just have to wait for some fabrics to come in to sew on the borders, so will post it again when totally finished. I was very pleased with this quilt and it took all of about 3 hours to sew up, that includes talking time. The jelly rolls really are a great way to go.















I can't believe there is only one week left of the long summer school holidays, they have just flown. Even Sebastian can't believe that they are nearly over.
We have a very busy week ahead with our Annual on property Ram sale on Thursday, Geoffrey will be very happy when that is over, these are a few of the little chaps on sale, hopefully they bring good dollars.


Have a great weekend to all, look forward to seeing some more comments.

Hi Kerry, I am so glad you changed your settings. I love the jelly roll quilt. It looks like a perfect quilt in a day opportunity to visit Nundle.
Your bag is lovely. Please put me in the draw.
Good luck at the sale.

Wow - 3 hours WITH talking time? That's really great. I can see how using the jelly rolls could save a lot of time with a quilt like this. It's very pretty.

I didn't know you raised rams. They're fun-looking little guys, but being a city-girl, I have no idea what I'm talking about. :o)

Well, if summer holidays are almost over, then cool weather must be just around the corner!

Oh, look at your fellas!! I want some critters but my husband is a city boy, and just looks at me like I've lost my mind when I tell him I want a horse, a cow, some goats and chickens and sheep and....ROFL

Hi Kerry
Finally I can leave a comment. I have wanted to at other times but couldn't. Like the new quilts for the year on your last post.
Great Bag.
Goodluck with the rams the wool market has kicked and with some rain hopefully a better market for selling.

Love the quilt but I am new to quilting and I have never heard of this jelly roll business. What is it?

AJ said...

I just bought my first jelly rolls this month and I am so excited to get started with them - hopefully this weekend :-).

I can't wait to see your finished top. The pattern I am drawing out is very similar.
