Our schools went back this past week and the weather is glorious. It seems such a shame that the children have to be in school. As we spent much of our last weekend culling a tree, I was promised a trip to the seaside as recompense! I have to say that it is my favourite day out. Saturday didn't disappoint either as we had blue skies and warm sunshine.

Unfortunately, due to our grand day out, I missed the sign up for the Mouthy Stitches Round Two. I was rather sad about this but I will just watch everyone else's makes from the sidelines.
I have not been completely idle on the sewing front. I have hand quilted each of the blocks on my Golden Quilt. I cannot get a really good photo to show you the results but I think that it has made me like the quilt a little! My goal for this week is to get the binding and label done. I will feel so much better when this quilt is ready for giving to my parents.

Recently I was alerted by Susan that Spoonflower were having a promotion. Susan kindly gave me a code that enabled me to buy a fat quarter with a huge discount on postage. I ended up buying this FQ for a princely sum of $2.

I love the soft colours and would seriously consider buying a little more of this fabric so that I could make a quilt for my bedroom.

Love the beach photos, the quilt is looking fab - and what a great Spoonflower purchase. I really need to spend more time trawling through their site looking for cool fabrics like that.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed Mouthy Stitches,but look at that weather you got instead!
ReplyDeleteLove your Spoonflower fq, I got mine today and am well chuffed - it was so beautifully wrapped too, considering it was such a deal.
