Thank goodness for Friday!

Another busy week at work is over and i'm glad! Unfortunately i have to work on Sunday but im not thinking about that at the moment. Im going to relax tonight, stitch and watch ugly betty!

Here's my latest progress on my tablerunner after last night's quilting class. I finished the logcabin last night. This is my favourite one so far. Here are my 3 squares lined up on my ironing board. I havent completey finished the fan one yet. The light is bad again (stupid winter weather) but the dark colour is actually green.I now have to start working on joining these ones together. I am enjoying learning to quilt and am hoping for lots of quilting books for Christmas as well as a bigger cutting board, my one is just too small.

No stitching this week but i did receive my names for the SBEBB Winter Quaker and the SBEBB Winter House. Im looking forward to working on those. I did receive these lovely squares today from Donna for the Fair and Square Exchange. She also included a JBW designs chart - thank-you so much Donna!! I love this santa and i plan on making it into an ornament for my Christmas tree.

Tomorrow we are going to our friend's wedding at Stirling Castle! Look at it:Isn't this just the most gorgeous place for a wedding?! Im so glad the weather forecast is good for it.

Have a good weekend!

love the quilt. It's coming along lovely. I wanted to look into quilting, but then we had to order a new laptop for hubby to be able to work ... and unless there'll be hundrets of orders on linabear creations there's no chance I can try anytime soon :(

Love the castle, very pretty :)

Your blocks look fantastic! I love the log cabin, it's such an easy one to make.
The square you received is just adorable! I'm not into Xmas stitching but that Santa is CUTE!!!
Sorry you have to work on Sunday, if it's one day I HATE to work on it's Sunday. Sunday's are for being lazy and you can't do that at work :-(
