The "Fab Families" refer to the family groups that came along to the second session for the Windsor A-Z project: a patchwork wall handing we are making at school to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The photos can been seen better on the Fun With Fabric blog, but a taster of the work in progress is here
The Finishes - well I actually finished two quilts today! I'd been working on the binding just 15 minutes at a time after tea, in front of the TV, but here they are, finished:
This was made from charm squares bought (and hand stitched) in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, bound in a darkish blue, thanks Heather
And this was sitting in the UFO pile for far too long, until both Heather and Jackie suggested a darker orange binding, and I happened to have the perfect colour in my stash. Thanks ladies!
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.
Yay for finally finishing things!
