Working away

...here today, have pieced the backing for the Union Jack quilt, I have used most of the gray and blue and am keeping the red for the binding...all the left over bits I had cut for the squares are in the back, it feels good to have used them. Now the kitchen bench has been called back into use!!
pinning is under way

and I have finished off two stitcheries, one has been waiting for a very long time in the drawer, the other not so long. So good to have them done.
Sad to hear there was another earthquake in Christchurch today, no damage that I have heard of, just a good shake, was 31km under ground. Hopefully all is ok.
Happy sewing.
