Jug covers..

This is one of my favourite patterns for a jug cover, I must admit , I had a few moments with it... something to do with getting older LOL..

crochet in #30 cotton , 1.25 steel hook..

1.25 hook and # 20 Cebelia cotton..
Love the name... Billabong Cafe.. Just had to make a couple of these cup and saucers.. maybe throw in a tea pot or two..

I dived into my fat quarter boxes and started to use some of my stash..
Some have not seen the light of day for years....lol..
Making the top of a quilt  always is exciting and fun, .... I am not so hot when it comes to quilting by hand...But thats where Lizzie the quilter comes in.. :))
I can smell some wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen, the chef is making a pizza....
Cheers for now... Hugs (())
