In the mail

Today I finished sewing down the binding on my quilt for Caring with Quilts. It will be in the mail tomorrow, on it's way to brighten someone's day (I hope). I'm happy I took the time to finish it off, and whilst it's not the best quilt I have ever made, I like it more today than I ever have before. It's amazing what a bit of quilting can do to an ordinary flimsy.


My little hexies are all sewn together, and will soon become a bag. The fabric behind is what i'm using for the lining.

I think they even look pretty from the back.

So ends another wonderful weekend. Have a great week.

  6. Well done on finishing the quilt. You seemed to find the right combination, donating the saved money and finishing the quilt by hand. Very impressive.
    Looking forward to seeing the little hexie bag. Mine is a never ending story at the moment.
