Sunday Sewing

How about a start and TWO finishes?  Not bad as well as teaching Sunday School!

A young Teaching Assistant from school is leaving on Friday to become an Au Pair for a family in Europe.  I wanted to make a quilt that the staff could all sign using fabric pens, so she could take it with her, but didn't think I'd have time . . .  but as you can see, I found time!


I even managed to machine applique her name onto it

I did wavy line quilting in the sashing, and added a red gingham binding (can you guess our school uniform is red?!)

I also manged to finish my Star Of Africa block - the first one for our international Bee.  I hope Patti likes it


I have also sent her two scissor tags, and I'll add some chocolate tomorrow before I post it.  No danger of it melting this side of the pond, but it's warm in Canada, so hope it gets there OK!

  6. Benta....what amazing embroidery. I have no skills with embroidery. I tried to use my machine to add my initials, but even that ruined out to be a mess so I scrapped the idea. I bet Patti will love it.
