which jane austen character are you

Image
Take the Quiz here! You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest.

Climbing Jacobs Ladder

Another one finished!!!! This is a disappearing nine patch made from a pack of fabrics from the climbing jacobs ladder fabric range - lovely and bright and funky. I gave it to our next door neighbours Ron and Myra who are heading up to Central Australia next Tuesday to relieve a couple that are pastoring there. They will be away for at least two months - hopefully this quilt might keep them warm on a cold night.
