So happy!!!

This morning I heard that the surf quilt I made for a military man in Afghanistan has arrived and he is very happy with it!!! Yay!! Once I check if it is ok I will put a photo of him and the quilt up here! So excited!!!

I finished the sewing on the Aussie hero quilt yesterday and now I am ready to quilt - I should be there now in fact!! Lol!!

Yesterday I discovered I can use these big bulldog clips on the edge of the dining table to keep the quilt sandwich taut!! That should be helpful - only taken me a few years to work that one out!!! Lol!! 

..ready to be quilted! Have put an extra layer of wadding under the elephants so I will free range quilt around them again and hope they stand out a little to give a bit more interest. Then I am going to try and quilt elephant shapes....nothing like aiming high is there!!! Lol!!

Yes, good advice and something else I need to work on!

Off to create elephants now

Happy sewing!!

Oh!! I nearly forgot...I am joining up with FNSI over  at Wendy's I am hoping to get the binding on the elephant quilt - that is if I get the quilting done!!

Off I go now!! Bye!

Thought for the day

I was pootling around on facebook as you do when you are avoiding what you should be doing (replace you with I!!) and found this - I love the wisdom Kermit so wanted to share!

 

So now I had better get off and do some sewing, the elephants are ironed on and now need to be sewn on - I think I will put stabiliser on the back as the Indian fabrics are very thin

Supervisor giving the quilt top the once over.....and then wanted to know when he was going to the park!!

hopefully this meets the request of Indian continent, bold colours and elephants!!

Happy sewing!
