Surprise Surprise!

On Saturday I was so determined to finish off Cindy's Community Quilt, and I did! 

so Sunday morning I loaded up the next one, 

whilst it doesn't look very inspiring, it is in fact about 3 meters of 108" fabric

same on the back and the top,  pretty little cream on cream

I am tasked with quilting leaves all over, which is going well, and I plan to get it finished today!

Oh the surprise?  

Whilst I was loading up this on the frame and shoving (yes its a technical term) the wadding under the rollers, I managed to catch my thumb on the pins, blood?  Oh my goodness that was deep and bloody!   and that's a cream quilt! 

fortunately not a drop was spilled on any fabric, however, it took a long time and 3 big plasters for it to finally stop.  

Lesson learnt, it's hard to pin a quilt with a plaster on your right hand and you are right handed!

so after that little drama, I wanted to get some photo's of Cindy's quilt to send to her...

looks good?

except when I opened it to lay it out, I got my second surprise!

can you see?  

I missed a whole row of a border!  

So this mornings task is to finish the leaf quilting and load this back on and finish it off!
