Sewing for pleasure - finishes

The first couple of projects that I wanted to finish on my 'sewing for pleasure' bandwagon were two cushions.

I had a great sewing day on Thursday. I completed both cushions by putting a zipped back on both. I sewed down the binding of both cushions sitting in front of the fire that evening. 


Yesterday I went to see Trudi and her new machine. This long arm is massive and I think that Trudi is going to have a ball using it. So if you want a quilt quilted for you then you know who to ask!

Today I have been doing more secret sewing but I can't let the cat out of the bag just yet!

Have a good weekend.

    Di, they are gorgeous, I love that economy block one. I really want to make one, if I haven't made one by the next guild meeting, force me to bring the stuff with me to make one then!

    It seems Trudi loves her new machine, have you had a go?
