Argh. Second attempt at publishing this...

This is the product of my Friday night (and Saturday) sew-in. Though that's a bit of a lie - most of it isn't sewn. I couldn't get a photo without the cat, so this was the best I could do! Now to quilt - planning(!) on using free-motion around the edges of the applique.

No updates - life has interrupted me and also a stinker of a headache. But glad to see the button for the Friday night sew-in is working. I have a baby quilt to make (I know I said no new projects, but this is a present and a little last minute) and the material is currently on the line and should be dry by tomorrow, and I have an idea of a pattern. I've also been asked to make a baby quilt for a friend and a couple of other things, which is good.

I'll check back in tomorrow for the sew-in!

Nothing has been done sewing-wise but darning in... But I'm nearly done! I'm at one end, my mum at the other and the helper in the middle is Perdie, my cat.

...Ok. Not strictly true, as I did attack a fabric sale. I think the tedium of only doing one quilt had to be off-set by some new material! And I forgot to include a jelly roll I bought as well - Frolic by Sandy Gervais. Naughty me!

Our quilting group went on a trip to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum on Saturday, where they kindly got some off their quilts out of storage to show us. Internet is on a bit of a go-slow, so I'll upload some of the photos the next time.

Organisation! Bought these the other day and it hasn't taken long to fill... Just one drawer left empty!

















These aren't full yet apart from the pink one which is housing all unfinished projects. And it's full, so no more things to be started. I have been working on them - all prams appliqued for buggy quilt, progress made on babies with aids quilt and some on McIntosh rose also. And the biggest and most pressing unfinished project, the church quilt, is nearing an end! Finally! Finished the quilting today, unless anything needs to redone; ends to be darned in, and back turned round for a binding. Cannot wait!

Bad bad blogger

Good job I introduced myself by saying I was a bad bad blogger! I've had a change of computer and problems with internet connection and have been very very busy. So now my internet connection is fixed, and I am getting back on board with blogging!

Our church is in need of a great deal of money for restoration, and instead of giving a monetary donation, I decided to make a quilt instead. It is made up of lots of squares, and the idea is that the person who guesses the correct number of squares will win it. I have nearly finished the quilting - it is a big, big job as my mum needs to hold it all up as I free-motion, and then endless threads to darn in... It has been a long process but hopefully will raise a good amount.

However, one of the things holding this up is the kitten mentioned in the previous entry. Very small and very fluffy has given way to getting big and still very fluffy (especially the tail) - called Perdita, or just Perdie. She loves the quilt like nothing else, and every time the quilt is taken out to be worked on, she will find her way there within minutes!
