Too much time spent cutting up teeny wings and beaks over the last couple of nights, meant I was really desperate to do some actual sewing today.
So I got my act together and pulled out my too-long neglected Duo Quiltalong table runner.
I practised my FMQ, and bit the bullet - there was some unpicking, but I will happily live with the less-than-perfect end results...
I have attached the binding ready for all the stitchery required this evening; finishing off the binding and the hand-quilting - I know it isn't the right order, but it will make me happy!
Talking of happy...
Today's Bee mail; lovely Ceri even enclosed these, including a Brit Bee badge - how cool is that!!?
So I have a date with a needle and thread, hope you have a rock'n'roll Saturday night too xxx
Ooh, looking good, have a fab evening with the sewing machine - try not to get too distracted with Ceri's toys in the meantime ;o)
ReplyDeleteMy rock n roll evening includes Cars 2 and a McDonalds! Your table runner looks fabulous! I must get some handquilting on my cushion done...
ReplyDeleteYes those are very cool! rock and roll saturday night? Ahem yeah - Merlin on in the back ground and my pondering what bag of crisps I'm going to eat next :-)
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are happy and can live with your decisions ...who cares what order you work in? I promise NOT to tell xx
ReplyDeleteNot too much rockin and rollin but while we watched "Case Histories" I finished my baby quilt on Saturday night!! Can't beat a good British (Scottish) drama can you?
