We dodged the showers and got home in time to get in some sewing...
My giant Oakshott Carpenter's Star, in case you hadn't guessed the other day; I see more one-block quilts in my future for sure...
I need to get some wadding before I can go any further with this, but it was great to get this far. I'll give you the full deets when I am done, deal?
Not sure what Mr Chimp wants to do tomorrow, he might end up watching DVDs if the weather forecast is to be believed; I've got my new issue of Love P&Q to read, so I'm in no rush to go out again. xxx
Wonderful. I don't use solids a lot because I think they show the mistakes more than patterns!
ReplyDeleteI love your Carpenter's Star - it's stunning! I suspect Mr Chimp gets taken out to lots of places when he's staying at someone's house and that he'd really like a day at home watching DVDs and playing with Lego, etc!!
ReplyDeletebloody class teddies - bane of my existence! My middle one had to look after an Easter chick over the holidays and write a diary every day. Awful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous giant star! It's on my bucket list already!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI love a carpenters star and this one is now exception! Gorgeous! I'm also in the middle of a mahoooosive one block quilt too, gotta love them for impact!
ReplyDeleteFab top! I think mr chimp needs to have s rest day!
ReplyDeleteMr Chimp's remarkably proficient on that sewing machine ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, and Mr. Chimp is pretty cute!
ReplyDeletedefinitely, Mr Chimp could do with a long lie in and perhaps some gentle reading of the paper, and watch some children's television!
ReplyDeleteWhy is homework for the children hard work for the parents?
Looks like Mr Chimp had a fun day! Your quilt is amazing and I can't wait to see it finished. X
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun and productive day.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing Twm Tedi (our version of Mr Chimp) did at our house was take a spin through the washing machine (ych a fi)
ReplyDeleteLove your carpenters star. Can't beat a one block quilt for impact x
Great quilt top, not so sure about the chimp!
ReplyDeletelove the quilt top. we had a bear come to our rest on our library counter and an I phone produced. NOW I know why!
ReplyDeleteHoly. Crap. Hadley! Might have to call in sick tomorrow and make one of these myself. You're amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow i missed this, it's phenomenal!
