Today I have spent a lovely day pressing, cutting, speed dating, sewing, pressing, sewing . . . And made this
It’s called a Fortyniner quilt. I started with three 7x7 squares, and then cut two of them into triangles. The binding will be the same turquoise as the diamond. Quilting and trimming are needed before the binding but for once I have actually made exactly what I bought the fabric for!
There was a lot of speeding dating / auditioning - I do sometimes wonder if I overthink these things!,
In an ideal world I would have been in Ireland this weekend - on "reatreat" at Jackie’s, but the flights over Easter were so expensive so we both sat at home and sewed alone - sharing in-progress photos
She made these two baby quilts
And finished this incredible crochet
Hope you had a good Easter xx
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
