I always seem to do this on a Wednesday lately...not sure why, anyway that's why today's is called Hump Day.
I must admit I'm feeling kind of pleased with myself. I got myself organised & have finished the blue quilt & binding is machine sewn on, green quilt too has it's binding on, finished quilting around the Lion (but I'm not sure what I want for the binding - keep changing my mind).

On top of that my cardigan is now finished too. I haven't been able to find a shawl pin, so will have to make my own. (Have some ideas already, so watch out for that one).
I've been reading the gumtree-designers blog & sent a 'New Beginnings' kit after the Queensland Floods. I've never tried a stitchery in a quilt block, so thought I'd give this one a go. I've just finished block 2, but haven't put the fabric around either block as yet. I did buy 4 beautiful blue fat quarters with this project in mind plus some blue homespun for the back (I love blue). The BOM is called 'Things we love' - check it out.

I love the gumtree designers!! I want to do the Things we love blocks but haven't had time to even think about starting them.
ReplyDeleteI love blue too (and purple). Lucky; with two boys, there is not much pink in my house LOL!
You have been very productive. I think the weather is better too! I love the cardi and those blocks. The lions head is so striking. Is it hand or machine embroidered.
ReplyDeleteThe gum trees blog is amazing and I might even give give their BOM a go too.
