Kids at school, hubby packed off to the office, (albeit he only made it until lunchtime), and I got down to it.
First I finished off my Marcelle Medallion quilt top.
I. Love. It! Simple as. I had a grand plan, lots of Liberty and not a lot of red, pure white or orange. And it worked!
I took lots of photos...
Then I took some more...
Then the postman turned up with a couple of envelopes containing some more beautiful Liberty...
I knew Ali of Very Berry Handmade had the Eloise print I was after to finish my Retreat name tag, so I ordered what I needed, and maybe a little more fell into the basket, (well Ali does a mini-bundle deal on 3 pieces, so why buy 1 when you can buy 3, or something like that; and super lovely friend that she is, I also received an Only Ditzies Please! scrap bag, which I must say is a complete super bargain at £3, and with all those beautiful teeny prints, is perfect for smaller projects... I am thinking my Retreat goody-swap partners may be seeing these again! Watch this space.
So with time to myself, I bound my partner's name tag, and made a blue Essex Linen lanyard; and then hand finished the back whilst catching up with a recorded EastEnders that I missed whilst on the Cub run! (Hold a grudge, moi?).
I now have the dilemma of how to quilt my Marcelle Medallion, but I am surrounded by beautiful things, so I think I can cope with that!
That is the coolest medallion quilt I have seen, which as I am not a massive fan of Liberty fabrics is saying something ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! And your swap partner is in for a treat too! Rx
ReplyDeleteOh my! It is beautiful! :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat medallion quilt.
ReplyDeleteCan I just steal the quilt and the nametag?? You wouldn't mind really as I'll quilt the quilt myself so dilemma over...right??
ReplyDeleteWhat a successful day, despite him coming home at lunch. I hope you packed him straight off to bed!

ReplyDeleteWell you know I love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...and I have some of that fabric that you've used on the last border and it's fab.
