I cant believe I haven't posted for over a week, although we've been so busy that maybe I can believe it!
We had a weekend in Weymouth with husband's family followed by a week which included Niki getting into a tangle with another driver (totally his 'bad', luckily no one hurt at all, but very scary, ) and time out to get quotes and arrange the insurance claim, and the old furniture being collected by a charity (who refused the sofa bed due to a tiny coffee stain on the mattress!).
Saturday's Library class saw us making paper pieced hexagons, and the Church class involved starting to copy a handbag, and putting a new ribbon on a hat!
I managed to squeeze in a visit to my local quilting shop on Friday (I had to take one of my church ladies to get fabric for her bag!) and today we took a trip to Portsmouth to see mum, and while Brian drove, I stitched running stitches onto some gingham for the museum class on Friday where we are going to tackle smocking
The Five A Day quilt has has a black border added, and scrappy binding has been machine stitched to the front and pinned to the back: I just need a little time to finish it!
(Photos are from my fancy new phone - any distortion will be my fault for not driving it properly!!)
Now I'm off to bed!
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.
Looks like you've been busy. I love what I can see of the black border with the colorful fabric.
ReplyDeleteGlad Niki is ok. All stitchy stuff is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI find it so much harder to post when it's nice outside, lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope that new phone wasn't on the 'insurance'!! Poor you, Niki and car, by the sounds of it xx
