College Finished!

No alteration today, just happiness!  I have finished the college course, and unless City and Guilds think differently to my tutor, I have passed.  

How funny to think that 40 odd years ago my Mum did the same course and also taught sewing for adult education!  She does 'real 'sewing - following instructions, altering patterns, making hems level, whereas I do far more making it up as we go, but all the same!

I did get Southern Star's binding finished when I got home.  

There is some quilting too, I copied the 8 sided star and turned it into an embroidery machine stitch and stitched it randomly a dozen or so times

Southern Star

I decided to have another go at the Giant Star , but at a smaller scale than the last one.  I used the Australian fabrics that my lovely S -I-L sent me, first cutting off what I need for the Australian Hexi stars.

I think I need to spend some  time tidying up - I've run out of room in my sewing room

and in Lisa's room,

and my dining room looks like this!

Oooops!
