FNWF

For FNWF I was quilting my In Full Bloom. It's almost done, just need to decide what to do in the borders.

Today I was in Bathurst visiting my dear Dad in respite care. I needed a new chair for my sewing room so went by the secondhand shop while I was there. Funnily enough, this chair matches our old dining suite.

And after some fun with the staple gun.

I know you won't believe me but I went to Hatched and Patched too, but only for ONE fat quarter to finish a swap project. Anni was on the phone whilst I waited to be served, and who do you think it was? There is only one Dawnie! Of course I had to say hello........and she tried to do some hard selling on Anni's behalf.......but I was strong and have not signed up for the Tillies Lane BOM.

I am hoping to finish off painting my sewing room tomorrow and move everything back into place.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

  16. Oh hahah - that was so funny that you were at the shop. I cant believe you didnt give in and sign up for Tillies lane!! Deb and I are going to work you to see if you give in. You know it will look gorgeous with your "In My Garden". I think you have "Will Power" if you went into Anni's shop and only came out with a Fat quarter!!. Wow what a great find that chair - and you have done a lovely job re-covering it. Also - am sure your Dad enjoyed your visit.
