Horrid Henry and Happy Harry (?)

I've been working more hours than usual this week - on my day job, freelancing as a grant finder, AND trying to make amends for the problem with Henry's Harry's quilt.

Last night's grant meeting with the Borough was luckily more than half way to my nearest quilting shop, Helen's, so I took advantage!  Helen has a wooden log cabin in her garden which serves as a shop and a workroom, and Helen is there pretty much 12 hours a day for help and advice.  I haven't been on a Wednesday night for a while, and it was lovely to see two regulars, and a further 6 who have been claimed by the dark side (and the light, along with medium values, stripes, spots, batik, etc)


Anyways,  I picked up some more half yards of assorted cream fabrics as I have at least one more cream (unisex) quilt to make for Debbie, and to finish Harry's quilt, I got wadding, fabric for the back, and the binding, as well as a few other half yards that were calling my name.

This evening I have been very unsociable, and have managed to get Harry pieced, basted, quilted and half the binding done. 

Tomorrow I can finish the binding, and then take a deep breath and put his name on the quilt

Harry

(it is starting to look wrong now, sigh!)
