    Must find some more crafty photos

    I've just added some photos to my hub. (I think I'm a bit swept away by all the little areas of functionality that this site offers. I shall soon settle down, I expect.) I realise that they are all horsey, which isn't really relevant, but hey (hay?) they are decorative!

    I don't have any photos of my crafting activity available at work, so I'll have to take some snaps when I get home. I've been making a cot quilt for a friend which I have just basted and am about to quilt. It was the first time that I had attempted piecing triangles (did I mention that I was a very BAD quilt maker?) and only about half of the points match up nicely. Erk!

    When in doubt stick on some appliqué. I think I might adopt that as my profile quote rather than the one I have. Though, as an aside, "Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?" is a rule that has prevented me from putting my foot in it on many occasions. Before you say something check it against the three questions. Only go ahead if you can answer yes to at least two of them. Miss Nonita Glenday was an ex-headmistress at the school that I went to. Now all I have to do is remember her advice more often and I could join the diplomatic corp.

    Anyway, the appliqué covers up some of the worst seams and draws attention away from the rest of my clonky sewing. The appliqué patch is a little yellow horse. Of course.

    Well, Jane, I'm looking forward to seeing your next photo of your ponies wearing lovely appliqued winter coats.
    Was that donkey sewing or clonky sewing by the way?
