Hello there Peeps
Here we are again on another Wednesday showing our desks off to the world via the lovely Julia Dunnitt.
Here is what is actually on my desk at the moment......
I attended a quilting workshop on Saturday at our Quilting Group and was able to put the whole of the quilt top together with borders!! I even managed to cut out the rest of the fabric to make a backing rather than find another piece of fabric and to avoid having big scraps of these fabrics and not have anything to use them in. So on Sunday I put the back of the quilt together and then with the help of my tacking gun it is now all ready to quilt. I will show you more once I have quilted the whole thing.
In the meantime, I needed to make a New Home card for a friend of mine and look who has agreed to have his photo taken and "come out" to meet you all. Yes. I have a lickle Monkey too however, unlike some of the others I have seen on my travels around desks, this little chap is incredibly shy.
Incidentally, I went out last night with a few friends of mine to see the new Jane Eyre. It is BRILLIANT!!! I thoroughly recommend you go and see it.
Well, off to work now and tonight my Scottish Dancing class starts so I will probably have to come around and visit you tomorrow. I hope you don't mind, I know it is supposed to be on Wednesday but I cannot NOT join in any more with this phenonomonomon that is WOYWW!!!!
TTFN and don't forget to visit Julia's desk.

That's an amazing quilt and you put it together so quickly! Love the little monkey, I used to work with a lady who had two real ones, one walked down the aisle with her on her arm when she got married!! Sounds like it's all go where you are, since I got back from my hols I have hardly had the energy to get up off the sofa in the evening!!
