There has also been new fabric and they are gorgeous. It's a linen and is wider than the normal bolt of fabric.
I can't wait to make a bag using these fabrics.
More linen.
This is what I'm finishing. I made this quilt last year and it was my first try at free motion quilting but I wasn't happy with it so it just got left in a dark corner somewhere. On Sunday Neil and I tidied up the store room and this was one of the things that we found. Looked at with a fresh set of eyes I realised that actually the quilting wasn't that bad and I should stop being a drama queen and just get it finished. Of course there is another reason to finish it now that there is a granddaughter on the way.
I love the crochet trim I used on it.
So the binding was made and is now been stitched, all we need now is the grandaughter but there's a little while to go yet.
I'm hopeful the quilt will be finished today, I'm going to go and do some stitching now whilst I've got a few minutes of free time.

Sometimes I find putting a piece of work away for a bit and then reviewing it later with fresh eyes is a great way to work. It looks great! I love the delicate colours.
Your grandaughter's quilt looks lovely. We missed you yesterday.
Oh well done - Barbara and I kept telling you it was lovely and you were being silly. Little One will love it.
They're right, it's lovely. No excuses not to finish it now :-) xx
