Yesterday was a sewing day..............weeks ago I had planned a day with a couple of friends............I knew I had this week off work and it is school holidays so perfect...........no matter what I was going to fit it in somehow..............champagne, yummy lunch, chatter with friends - talk about recharging the mind..........perfect.........
finally we got into some sewing.............
as the deadline was looming I set to work on the Tis the Season..........by Natalie Bird.....
this is my label block.........
quilted in the ditch around the white stitchery blocks.........
preparing the binding..............
The fabrics I used are Robert Kaufman - Sparkle All the Way
finished the binding just before midnight....(deadline 3oth Sept)........had a few of the quilting threads to fix up this morning............So pleased to have this done..........
The Stitch-a-long blog is very busy.................heaps of posts yesterday and today so head over and check it out.............there is also a slide show on the left sidebar where I keep adding finished quilts............
My favourite block...........
Can't wait to hang this one up for Christmas..........
Catch you later..............
