By the time we had our Sunday roast for lunch, (yes it is officially winter!), I had cleaned the house, changed, washed and tumbled all the bedding, done all the weekend's ironing and basted my Holiday Memories mini quilt. Rough with the smooth.
I quilted my mini this afternoon, and will get the binding on in a bit; I am just waiting for a paper-cut to stop bleeding, as the binding, and much of my mini are white, and that's not a good combo!
As promised, a quickie-piccy of yesterday's Eternal Maker haul, minus the wadding...
The multi-coloured bag is a scrap bag of wool felt, with some excellent sized pieces and lovely colours which will be perfect for a bunch of needle books and the like. I used the Aurifil 40wt for the quilting today, just for a little more definition; 2021 I heart you, no matter what you weigh!
And because I am so kind, as to be honest, I would really really love to win, if you are in the UK, please pop over to my friend Verity's blog, as she has the most amazing birthday giveaway going on right now.
If you do decide to enter, and why the heck wouldn't you? - please mention my name (or I will track you down), thank you.
So that has been my day, but now can we have some sunshine again? I am done with all this indoor stuff for a bit!
I went for a nosy and told 'Miss Ginger' you sent me. I even came back to tell you I told her you told me to go there. And I can't believe it's not butter. :-)
ReplyDeleteOch steal some of the kids' plasters ad get on with that sewing :oP Know what you mean about the weather though...
ReplyDeleteGood grief woman, what time did you get up??? I spent most of today playing with a £2000 sewing machine, and being mainly terrified if breaking it!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some nice weather again soon. Lovely shopping and it sounds like you got loads done today.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a productive day! Isn't this weather rubbish. So not ready for winter!
ReplyDeletebionic woman alive and well in west Sussex???? i did none of the household stuff, just trying to work out how to stretch my mini - lots of stitching in the bottom 1/5 has pulled it in from the sides :-(
ReplyDeleteSounds v productive! We didn't get anything done until gone midday today..... Hope you manage to finish the mini without any blood stains or accidents!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be a little holiday when you get to work! That is a lot of chores for a Sunday! Di x
ReplyDeletedefinitely winter roast weather, the wind howled and howled here like the wolf and the three little pigs all day yesterday. Glad you had a productive day, I did lots of mental planning but no actual sewing (bloghopping and thinking about it!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about the giveaway - I mentioned your name!! And I love love that tape measure fabric - what is it? Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteWow busy girl! I love Verity's blog thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteYup, blood just dont want to come out... Plaster and marigolds!
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up with your last 5 posts. Your kid's friends are so lucky to have you make them gifts.
ReplyDeleteYou are the busiest person I know and you iron? What's up with that?
You did well shopping. Love that ruler fabric.
I need to make a Christmas quilt. I'm sure yours will be done by Halloween.
