Finished, Nearly Finished, and a Friday Fail

A friend has just become a grandmother, so a special quilt was called for: I made a bright sunny bricked I-spy quilt for baby Sophia

With her name on too

The binding has been stitched since these pics, so it's ready to be delivered.
I've also added the binding to the Red and Numbers quilt, so that can move to the-sewing-in-front-of-the-TV pile.  I think this may have a home to go to when it's finished

And the kids (big and small) at school were very excited about the expected eclipse on Friday. The children came to school with their heads down, having understood how very dangerous it was to risk looking at the sun, the science had been explained, trays had been filled with water so the reflection could be viewed, but no one remembered to tell the clouds to take the day off!

Finally, we had another lovely day at Crafty Church on Saturday: Cushions, cross stitch, tapestry, beading, felt Easter eggs, and a young man making masks, along with plenty of chat, a lovely cuppa, and even muffins - thanks Lynne!!

Ready for some Red!

I know there a *few* started quilts in my sewing room, but I was browsing my Pinterest boards and kept coming back to these two

I have had that Ikea number fabric for years, and I have a collection of red with white fabrics

And I had an afternoon to myself, so I did that cutting and sewing back together thing that I love, and now I have 80 blocks like these

And next time I get a few hours to sew I shall start mixing them up and joining them up :-)
