Why, when I have a few days off, time to do stuff, and stuff to do, I end up feeling like cr@p!?
Yesterday I took a quick stroll round the Village Day celebrations; dear son managed to win some sweets on a couple of tombolas, so he came away happy, and the fact we were only there for an hour in the wind and arctic temperatures made me happy too.

| Excuse me, please may I borrow a hankie? |
Basting and quilting these little babies was so quick and easy. I managed to frankenstein enough wadding for both, without having to cut into the nice big piece reserved for my Retro Flowers, spray baste them and get one quilted and ready for binding in about 2 hours.
I am going to bind in Kona Ash, supplies of which are winging their way from Fluffy Sheep Quilting as we speak, so some more lovely hand sewing to look forward to.
I have no progress on my Spring Carnival to show, but I do have another project from my pile!
Ripping off Laura's idea to embroider her FQ Retreat goody bag, as soon as Aneela sent me her Belle embroidery pattern, I knew what I wanted to do.
So I've made a start...

| For scale, this is a 10" hoop. |
I am hoping therefore to have a few finishes to show you shortly; talking of which, I need to check out my FAL-Q2 list, there's less than a week to go!
Colds are horrible, but you are moving full steam ahead. The quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteAwww sorry to hear you're all snotty. Just dont give it to the kids or by the time your're feelin a bit better you'll be required for nursing duty..... Sending you massive big hug, albeit with a mask on.... xxx
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, naps help. The stitching is looking lovely and so is the quilting.
ReplyDeleteUrgh, feel better soon - I think it's sod's law...
ReplyDeleteUmmm you realise those Morris Men have infected you. I reckon their hankies were far too germy and they waved them about spreading plague. Hope you feel better soon and if I see any Morris men I'll give them a whack on your behalf. That'll learn 'em ;-)
ReplyDeleteGosh, you're achieving a lot for someone who's ill! I'm like that, I try to work in the face of it and always end up feeling awful. Snuggle up on the sofa and have a rest woman :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon Hadley. I have just put my bag through the wash ( I had been using it as a makeshift change bag) so that it is nice and ready for some cheery embroidery. Another of Aneela's designs maybe!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitchy sewing, hope your nose ceases to drip and tickle very soon!
ReplyDeletelooks like quite the festive day yesterday! Hoping you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Hadley! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see photos of the quilted baby quilt when you have a minute? Perhaps once you're feeling better....
Hope you start to feel better soon, its even more rubbish when you're ill on your days off! Loving the embroidery
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than having sick days on 'holidays'!!! Rest up, the sewings not going anywhere! Cute embroidery!
ReplyDeleteUrgh! Hope you are feeling better soon :) Lovely stitching x
ReplyDeleteNot again! Doesn't seem that long ago since your last cold! Hope you can kick it into touch swiftly! Jxo
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Hadley! Colds suck.
ReplyDeleteYour goody bag will be completely adorable.
Hope you've feeling better for tomorrow.... :-)
ReplyDeleteNot hayfever then?
ReplyDeleteHope you get better and back into full production soon!
Feel better soon Hadley!
