Woo hoo

256 squares quilted. I have finished hand quilting my Stars Quilt. I can hardly believe it's done. Now I just have to choose the binding fabric.

Happy, happy, happy Susan. X

Anni's project bag

Family life has been getting a bit in the way of sewing lately. So I took myself off to a corner last night and worked on the project bag from The Simple Life - considering the mood I was in I probably should have chosen something a bit simpler, but here is the inside. I have finished the gorgeous bunny stitchery on the front, but I'll show you that when I finish the bag. And my second go at partridge in a pear tree for TTS.

Tonight, I have a funny little bit of mending to do for work........ these fellows have a couple of holes that need stitching up before the stuffing falls out.

I can't believe it's August tomorrow, the year is just flying by. Hope you're having a happy week, and finding a moment or two to yourself.

A little break

My poor fingers are sore from quilting so I took a little break yesterday to work on making the stitchery kit for my niece. Since Mr 13 was home with a cold, we snuggled on the couch and generally took it easy. I'm trying to make it look like a bought kit, so I made up the stitchery to photograph for the front. The finished cushion will have a red border and floral back - Nanna might have to help her with the finishing off. It will match the sewing case I made for her.

A few chores to do, and some help with a project on Government to give, and there may even be some sneaky sewing time later. Have a great weekend.

Still going.....

I am still going with the hand quilting on my stars quilt. I am so sick of it but the end is in sight. I have quilted 227 squares, which is 89% - only 29 to go, and then the binding.

I am determined to finish it before I start anything new...... well, apart from a couple of stitching projects which are already on the go. I cut out the pieces for Anni's Simple Life project bag a few weeks ago - and this is the stitchery to go on the front. I love the rabbit. I also love stitching Anni's font.

If you need me I'm off to do some quilting (surprise, surprise).

Sunday Stitching

I have been working on Garden Gate from In Full Bloom.

And I bought these fat quarters at The Stitching Post. The others are for a secret swap.

Feeling a bit lazy today so more blogging than stitching going on. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon too.
