quilting scraps and Progress on new turf shed

1. Some of the colours I am using in the scrappy quilt Carolina Christmas by Bonnie Hunter

 Hubby building his NEW Turf shed.

Another scrap quilt that I have started this weekend  This weekend I did a lot of crocheting and sewing and I am also knitteing a Baliclava for wee Daniel for the winter. I do a few rows of knitting  ton it every day so It will be ready for the winter. Son no.7 Joe Jr. arrived home from university in to help his dad with the shed and the turf. Weather been so bad this yr here that there may be no turf for the new shed ha ha

Yesterdays shopping for wool and fabrics. a picture of the fnew tv stand that hubby made. need him to make a new coffee table next (oh he is Handy) ha ha and a granny square in green red and white quite xmassy I think

HAPPY 4th JULY to  my daughter and son-in-law in NYC. Today I have 4 hrs off as Daniel is in daycare today so ther will be no sewing done today. I will do some crocheting in the car when hubby and I head out to Lunch. And I need to head to the wool shop also.

Quilts from the cupboard

Do u like the above pic of  geese section of carolina christmas. Not very xmassy is it? I dont like the fabrics at all but,set myself a challenge to use fabrics I dont like in this project and only use 1 fabric of christmas red. I am sure it will all turn out well in the end quilt
