Before contemplating which unfinished project to tackle next,
I took a peek into one of the boxes containing the new projects
and before you know it the fabrics were out of the box,
unpackaged and on the cutting board.
Just love this print and the many colours it comes in.
Before long a stack of half square triangles appeared.
Just love this new French General range, Le Bouquet Francais.
With the two projects from the large tubs on the right in
the photo below completed and at the quilters,
the one above them is the next in line to finish.
When I first opened the tub, I thought the quilt top
was almost completed.
But no, it was mostly pinned together,
completion would take longer than first anticipated.
These are all the pins that were holding the blocks together.
No wonder I was running out of pins for other projects.
All of the half square triangles for the border were made and
sorted for the four borders at the bottom of the tub.
They didn’t take long to piece together and attach
to the quilt top along with the unpieced borders.
More photos when it arrives back from the quilters.
Happy belated Easter to all.
These cute chocolate bunnies were left at our gate early Sunday morning.
Apparently there is an Easter Bunny, namely our lovely neighbours.
Yes the gift was reciprocated, just not at 4.30 in the morning.
After the Nostalgia Exhibition the other week,
it reminded me of the sewing baskets my sister and I received
one Christmas as a young girls. My sisters was blue and mime was yellow.
Now a little worse for wear,
it’s not for everyday use.
It still contains the tiny bakelite thimble that now just fits my little finger.
After class this morning at Sew in Love with Fabric & Threads,
(sorry no photos) I headed off to a quilt exhibition in Cranbourne.
Also on display Victorian Quilters ‘Over The Fence’ 2013 Challenge –
The Travelling Suitcase Exhibition,
artwork from local artists and a
Nostalgia Exhibition. (a peek at items from our past)
which included these sewing machines and irons.
Love the sewing basket.
