I managed to get the quilting and binding finished on this quilt, donated by Marina from Gisborne. It will be going to the oncology ward when next I visit.
I had to stop and fil the bobbin part way around
and realised the cotton level was going down - would I have enough to get this row of quilting finished? I always sew faster when the cotton is getting low, something like if I go fast it will all be ok!! No logic there!!😂😏
I am happy to say I got back to where I started and
there was this much cotton left...speed won!!!
And this is the finished quilt.
Monday I had a sewing day with Jill who lives locally, we decided to have a foundation paper piecing day and try the Storm at Sea block.
Well we had a great time, not all our points met up, but we were happy with out blocks
Jill had a little woops while trimming
Rosie came in to see what was happening
My Storm at Sea block, pretty bright huh!! My points meed some work but I am sure after a few tries I will get better.
Jill working away, see the beautiful clamshell quilt on the chair? I wanted to take it home with me!
Rosie waiting to play ball
Jill's nearly finished block. I love the optical illusion this block creates
Back home some little stars have been put together in the evening.
I received some happy mail on Monday, Jude has been having many morning and afternoon teas to fundraise for Breast cancer, you can see more information at her blog. Jude had a sales page, a percentage of the sales went to BCNA , so I had a look and was tempted and my purchase arrived in this beautiful case
and here are the contents, all cut, pattern included ready to sew. How good is that. It is in the awaiting attention queue!
This morning I had to do a quick tidy up of one thing I had left part done, these hexies needed to be cut out and glued down. Job done, I don't know why I left it as it did not take very long.
I have started on an Aussie hero quilt today so had better away and do a bit more begore dinner needs to be cooked.
Happy stitching.
