Banking on it!

Yep, you can guarantee rain on a Bank Holiday and pretty much put money on anything we were planning on doing being an outdoor activity and therefore met with a little less than enthusiasm.

So I did ALL the holiday ironing first thing; despite shutting the huge pile in the garage all weekend and hoping it would go away, it was still there this morning, so I bit the bullet, but I do feel a weight has been lifted.

I then finished off the little Liberty purse - hurrah!

The sewing machine sprung into action without a hitch; feeding the flexi frame through the top channels was a little more stressful, (insert a huge selection of swear words here), but I didn't need to unpick, so I will call it a success...


I used some blue Essex Linen to frame the Liberty panels and lined it with Kona some-bright green-or-other, and I think it looks rather cute.

I am going to add this to my Brit Quilt Swap package for my partner.

I have also been sewing up a few of my Spring Carnival wheels today, because they are BIG and don't make my eyes go as squiffy as the 1/2" hexies! 

My mojo, it appears, is slowing coming back to me at last, which is a bit of a relief!  I just wish the sun would come back too, then I will be a happy bunny.
