Sunday Sitrep

Is it really over a week since my last post? 

I've been doing 'stuff' ... you know how it is ...

I HAVE been working on these for Sarah, but I'm still working on getting my head round them ...

and I did rustle up ...

another scarf, fabrics from Tracey at Quilt Me Happy ...

and I managed to pull fabrics ...

and unsurprisingly, started something new! 

X & + blocks to follow :) 

and I did manage to get a monster Ripple Nipple block for Hadley for the Brit Bee

and there has been the small matter of some quilting, now delivered

and of course, not forgetting the enormous amount of time spent on my tax return,

I am happy to have it filed and done :) 

and today I have been giving a trunk show at the Petwood Hotel, as part of a retreat weekend

run my Martha for Frame Machine Quilters

the sun shone, and it was a balmy 8.5 celcius!

How was your week?

Sunday Morning Sitrep

I need to confess my sins ... it is Sunday morning after all!

Yesterday I had a very productive day... Doughtys came to town! 

Need I say more ...

White on white, cream, osnaburg ...

some really lovely lovelies ...

including Valorie Wells Karavan, Amy Butler Lark and a few new Kaffe's ...

But I came home, and continued with the quilting ....

but it was just too hot ... so I got busy with the sewing machine and some Siblings Together blocks I've had pieced for a couple of weeks ....

and got this top pieced! 

It's large to be fair at 80" x 80" but a teenage boy is going to love it I hope!

I'm hoping to get the current quilting job off the frame this morning so this one can go straight on after... and if it can fit in the suitcase it will travel to London with me! 

Right, it's way too early on a Sunday morning but I'm off to get busy! 

Happy Quilting!

There was a considerable amount of this ...

in fact it was the first time the grass was cut down at the allotment, and with a month of rain, it was hard work!

I did a little playing with these squares ...

and I got binding sewn on ...

just need to stitch it down on the back ...

and I got this loaded up ready for quilting ...

looks pretty eh? 

I should have been doing something else ... I MUST get that done tomorrow - I'm late making my badge for the FQR swap.
