That's my night tonight. I have the very sloppy trackies on, I have some choccy in the cupboard waiting for munch time and a quilt to be quilted. Not a bad night indeed.
I got home to a very chilly house this afternoon so I got the fire going and headed upstairs to the 'sewing studio' which is also the warmest room in the house. This Chocolate Lollipop, Anna Maria Horner fabric has been stashed for a few years. I finally decided on the right design and spent the whole arvo cutting out. The photo is average but I love how it is turning out. It's so wonderful when a plan comes to fruition.
This is my next installment for the 1st Wed Block Swap. Megan wanted pink hearts on 16.5" calico blocks. I'm happy with how this turned out. I did blanket stitch around the raw edge. Hope she likes it...And this little baby is the smallest quilt in the world!

Okay, so that might not be true. It is however, the smallest one that I have ever made. I am going to this wonderful event in Hepburn, Victoria tomorrow and we had to stitch something on a fabric postcard. Since I'm a quilter rather than a stitcher, I decided to make a quilt. I actually machine pieced it without using a foundation. I may have said one or two swear words in the process...
I did manage to stitch my name and I think it's readable.
Time for that chocolate and a cuppa.

ReplyDeletehahahaha... the bra thing was my first thought too as I began reading this post. Ummm... you might want to check the rules but I think having a craft thing is actually illegal AND immoral if I am not in attendance.

ReplyDeleteMmmmmm ... chocolate!!!
ReplyDelete(And what's with Kate's bra comment???)
