Made in Cherry

Done!

after the Teenage Diva got out of bed I got her to clamber on a chair to hang it up

after taking this pic I did wonder about hanging a pair of quilts as curtains for the summer!

I love this quilt

and the quilting's not bad either!

always worth a roll up shot ...

and I know you want to see what's on the back!

and now it's on the bed, ready for snuggling under :)

Today I am over in Spalding helping set up a frame in Angela's Studio ready for her open day on Saturday, where I will be demonstrating  quilting!

Focus

that's my word to sew by this year...

So today, when I left work early

 no not skiving, but enjoying the pleasure of a little flexi-time

I was FOCUSed in my task

and before I knew it, it was time for a cup of tea

the cutting was done (thank you Alice!  the Jade Klona is perfect!)

and after refreshments

the piecing was done too!

FOCUS - a word to sew by!



Maybe

... I can achieve a little more!

The housework got done, top and bottom, tidying and the dining room table almost surfaced again, almost!  And there was baking, and an quick hour of stitching ...

Oh Cherry Baby!

I finished piecing the centre square, and moved onto a quick layout of a couple of star points ...

he he, this one really makes me happy! 

and then I had to stop, make dinner and bung it in the oven, and head out to the quilting group for the afternoon...

but back to the baking....  Thanks to Susan's recipe ...

now known as Pulverised Lemon Drizzle cake!

Delicious Susan, thanks for sharing, it didn't last long! 

And tomorrow I have more!

Happy Quilting!



Sunday Sitrep

Sunday already again, how did that happen? 

Things are getting buy round here, and there will be a few changes coming ...

But you want to know what I've been up to really don't you?

Well I finished quilting this for a lovely lady ...

and delivered it,  I was very relieved that she loves the quilting I've done for her :) 

So whilst I was out, the LQS had it's annual sale, and these just happened to come home with me ...

I did get some more fabric, but that is for Pea Room BOM, so I'll save it for another day ...

So, because I got some more plain, I am now able to rearrange my fabric plans ...

so these are the fabrics for the Stained QAL about start being hosted by the wonderful Sarah ...

the plain was originally ordered with the 'Made in Cherry' QAL but it just didn't make me happy, so yesterday this teal came home with me, and now I'm definitely a happy quilter...

so Made in Cherry is on it's way!

I followed the advice and starched before I cut, and it is making a real difference ...

I also got another block for the Swoon along made ...

and I got the last block for Miss January of the Brit Bee, so I can get these babies sent back in the morning ...

It's turned cold again, and I was  craving a bit of comfort food, so today we dug out some fruit from the freezer,  and now I give you ...

Rhubarb and Raspberry crumble ...

delicious with custard!  That's better! 

Now about those changes, I've temporarily got some extra hours at work, so the stitching time is going to be more scarce, which requires some serious planning and organisation,  forgive me if I'm not back until next Sunday! 

Happy Quilting!
