The end is in sight

Lets start with good news first .... I passed my personal taxation exam.  Phew! I found out this morning.  So now I only have one re-sit to do and a project to complete and I am done. 3 years of study is nearly over!  I have been working on the project over the holidays and it is very time consuming: a 4000 word essay on financial improvements to be made on a case study......

The girls and I went in to London yesterday to deliver this to Dan (my cousins little boy) 

 He loved it and wrapped himself up in it straight away.  He then carried/dragged it around with him and put his toys on it.  It's great to know that it will be so well used. 


  I just did some straight line quilting in a yellow thread and a scrappy binding.  Its difficult to tell in these photos but the horizontal sashing is red and the quilt is really colourful

                                   

 We had such a great day: Dan has grown up so much and he was a real showman!Another quilt that got some use this week is my Stained.  We got to look after Emily for a day last week
                                    

Her mum was very anxious at dropping her off as it was the first time she has had to leave her all day (I think most of us can all relate back to that!), but she was absolutely fine - she did a great job of keeping my two girls occupied all day!


So, got to go now, as we are off for a celbratory cream cake!

  9. Congrats on the exams.
    Isn't it terrific when you make a quilt and it gets properly used, not just put on a bed or in a cupboard, but genuinely rolled around on and snuggled in on the sofa etc!
