Aussie Hero Quilts

I have been reading a blog of a wonderful lady, Jan, who creates beautiful quilts.

Hope over here and see what new venture she has started on
Especially if you quilt or sew

I have been ....

.... crocheting
But for some reason the project is just not working for me

I love the yarn - Bendigo 8ply Cotton - so soft
The colours are lovely - looked even better in the photo
Pattern works up well - and I love the projects others have made with this pattern.

Maybe its just all the changing of colour????

And just found a book I picked up at Salamanca Markets in Hobart in April
Everything is conspiring against me

BTW, here is a small glimpse of those markets
