Nice People Nice things.

These are some of the blocks for my Nice People Nice Things Quilt. I am doing it differently to the Quilt as you go method that the kit suggests you do. I made most of these while on holiday in April. I will be taking them to Sydney this weekend to do at the Airport.  This will be the 4th year of going to Sydney in June. Only once has my flight been on time. The worst it was delayed was 8 hours due to bad fog. Last year it was only 2 hours. So I will take plenty of stitching to do at the airport......just in case.
They are very quick and fun little stitcheries to do.
Oh dear my 17 year old has just started vacuuming her room. I wonder what she wants!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me, she has only ever done this once before. Oh no, not a party while we are away!!!!!!

Over the last week.....

This pattern arrived this week. It's called Between Friends by Quilt Soup. Love their patterns. This one is very bright  but I could see my collection of Mrs March just looking perfect. I did a test run with this but it was just too pale. So this afternoon  changed it all.
Carey from http://blueberrylane.typepad.com/  set a challenge for us earlier this year. She sent me some green strips 2 and a half inches wide and I think 9 inches long and I had to use these in a quilt. Well I've changed my mind so many times but when I saw this pattern I thought.. Just perfect.  Trying to place these photo's a little better but after half an hour this is the best I can do.
Hope you are all having a great and productive long weekend.

Here's my new bag....so far

I need to buy some more for a bag handle. I just love it.  That will have to wait until Tuesday on my day off now.
Now Carey that's 4 blog posts in 2 days. Have I made up for my bad blogging??????? I promise to try and be a better blogger from now on. Off to meet up with Carey in Sydney in 2 weeks time. Should have some great photo's then..............

 

Peanut Butter Fudge.

Look at this!!!!!!  It was suppose to have chocolate melts in it but my dear husband thought I meant cadbury chocolate.
400 g milk or dark chocolate
400 g white chocolate
1 cup crunchy peanut butter

Combine half the peanut butter with the milk/dark chocolate until smooth. Combine the remaining peanut butter with the white chocolate until smooth.
Cool slightly.

Drop spoonfuls of white chocolate mixture and dark chocolate mixture into a lined 18cm by 28cm slice tin. Gently shake pan to level mixture then pull s skewer backwards and forwards through for a marbled effect.

Refrigerate until set.

I wonder if that plate will stay untouched until after dinner tonight at my nephews birthday dinner.
I also wonder how long will it take for 9 teenage boys and 1 teenage girl to finish it off.
