Very proud ....

of Tom completing his first triathlon in 1 hr 49 mins!  Well done Tom!!!

I'll make your quilt next!!! Mother Hen xxx

Ready to go ...

three quilt tops and backing, pressed and ready to go to Barbara for long armed quilting!!!

now what's next on the list???  Quilted trousers for David I think!  Only joking!!!  It's SO satisfying to tick things off my list though!!!

Just had to share ....

Rose brought me back these socks from Japan - thank you Rose - I love them!!!

Had a great morning at Cupcake Cottons - not quilting though!!!  But dressmaking!!!  The lovely Lucy is teaching us how to make a pretty summer skirt.  We had a fab morning picking up lots of tips from her regarding getting the right size, laying out your pattern and darts!!!

Picked some lovely blue fabric and, guess what, it was in the sale!!!  Fantastic!!!

Oh and couldn't resist putting this picture in ..... Mum-in-law very happy with quilt!!!

Wrapped in Christmas paper and ...

ready for David to take to his Mum tomorrow!

Now the details .... the quilt is called 'Cotswold Flowers' and is a kit I purchased from CupCake Cottons before Christmas.  It went together without a hitch and Barbara at Fir Tree Quilting made a beautiful job of long arm quilting it ...

Merry Christmas Mum!

Exhibition ...

Whilst at Cupcake Cottons I picked up one of these ....

profits will be going to Jane Ashley Ward for Women's Cancers.  It's going to be a great event!

Steph at Cupcake Cottons sorted me out ....

with another yard of fabric for quilt of triangles and also some beautiful backing fabric for scrap quilt ...

Thanks Steph!

It was all going so well ....

Oh dear - I've miscalculated the backing fabric and I'm short!  How frustrating .... I knew I should have checked the calculations with Steph at Cupcake Cottons!  That will teach me!  I'll have to wait for Thursday now to get some more fabric!  Fortunately, Steph is a whizz at working these things out and she'll get me sorted out I'm sure with minimum wastage!  Help Steph! :(
