Love holidays and sewing

Wow!! Has it really been that long since I posted. It has been lovely being on holidays, I have achieved quite a lot over the last couple of weeks.

One of the main things has been getting my friendship quilt together. We all completed a strip for each other, it was lots of fun. Now I just need to quilt it.

For quite some time I have wanted to learn to stipple on my own machine. I needed lots of practice and then decided to just go for it on a quilt top I made last year. I think I am quite clever!!!!

There are still 3 quilt tops to be quilted........................

Perfect weekend for the garden

I have spent a lovely weekend working in the garden. The lawn is mowed, some plants are trimmed, the compost has been used and the wine barrels have been filled, ready for planting!!!

It is nice to have caught up a bit.

No sewing or crafting undertaken, although I did collect my friendship quilt from our local quilting lady, Elizabeth. I am very pleased with the result - I would never have got it finished if I quilted it myself. I have to decide the best colour to bind it, not sure - any ideas?

While I was there I dropped off the stitchery quilt, now I am looking forward to getting that one completed also.
