Back to School

Sadly the week's holiday is drawing to an end and I'm back to alarm clocks and 40 hours weeks at schools from tomorrow!

I've finished the embroidery, and I've trimmed and actually quilted the Sweet 16 quilt


I've machine washed (40 degree wash) my Blue Glue Batik and I'm loving the vividness of the colours

Once it dries I'll join the ends and see how it feels as an infinity scarf

Finally I've sorted half a dozen London themed fabrics

A member of a quilting group on Facebook was asking for some i-spy fabrics for a quilt for her children. When she sent me her address I realised she lived in the same small town as the lovely Kathy from Running With Rocket - what a small world - I've now introduced them to each other!

  1. I like your sweet sixteen blocks on point. Ashamed to say I've done nothing with mine. I hope school won't be too bad, but it's not long until the Easter holidays.

  2. What are the odds, missy uk, that you would know two quilty/sewing people in the same small town of Canby.
    Now, if it were Portland, I could understand.
