We deposited the kiddiwinks at school and headed off to Brighton. Lots of wandering, a huge lunch in GBK again - we've been planning the trip back since my birthday, and I was completely restrained and only bought a Heals year book! The sun shone, it was perfect.
I even got to finishing the last bit of quilting on my Across the Sea quilt last night; stitching 'perilously near to' the ditch along either side of the border. We then settled in front of the TV and I sewed in a million ends; romance eh!
So this is how it looked first thing this morning before I attached the binding...
The binding now needs to be hand-stitched down on the back (my favourite bit!), and hopefully I will get this done over the next couple of evenings, and get a finish in before the end of the month.
Tomorrow I will link up with Sarah again and her Summer Sewing Plans finale, so I better get checking that list!

Hey, cool quilting, you must have seriously concentrated to do that. (and I mean because it looks ace, not because you don't concentrate at other times!)
ReplyDeletePS having a bit of a 'mare commenting on your blog at the mo...my comments just don't appear - dunno what's gone wrong :(
