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!
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.
Well done!!!!!!
ReplyDelete2 finishes? *thud* Well done on both :o)
ReplyDeleteA Wonderful block, Benta. I love it! Can you tell me what is that beautiful, intricate log cabin design over the tags?
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is great, you're a quicker quilter...
It is beautiful....it looks like a pair of Ss.
DeleteLovely stuff again Benta. Hope you got the name right :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again you put me to shame! Well done
ReplyDeleteOh, Benta! What a fabulous block! I am thrilled with it, and the stitching is wonderful. Love the scissor tags too; great idea. Yummy, chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteBenta....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.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do you get the time!!! xxx
