Union Quilting...

It feels like ages ago that I got Dad's Union Quilt all basted and ready to go, so having got the skull 'in the bag', I made the most of the lovely light evening and quilted to my heart's content.


As the back is an expanse of grey, I was a bit anxious about any snaggles showing up, but it's all good.  I even chose to unpick a couple of wonky areas!!  A first, (Rhonda are you proud?), but as it's for my Dad, I really wanted it to look as perfect as my 'old' machine will allow, (2 weeks and counting old boy!).  

OK, so he did have a tantrum and I had to unpick a bit more; your days are numbered my Brother, so behave or you won't even be a 'spare'!  Look what he did the other evening...


Well it's the weekend, so I'll be cramming in as much sewing action as possible over the next 48 hours...  I might even spend my £25 Premium Bond winnings - Woo Hoo!!! 

Happy Weekend everybody x

  2. Hope you had a spare needle. Despite buying them in packs I never seem to have one when I really need it. Happy sewing weekend. Mine involves dance practice, and dance rehearsals, etc. Joy!
