My Creative Space – this week.

Over the weekend, not much got done in the way of household chores.  A few loads of washing were put on, but that is only because I did not have to spend too much time away from the sewing machine.

The reason was to turn these pieces of fabric…….

into a quilt top…….

(sorry for bad pics, all photos have to be taken inside due to the wet weather here)

Now, all I have to do is hunt down some backing fabric (I know what I want and can not find enough of it anywhere!!!!), and then I am going to hand quilt it.

I am super keen to get this finished, as it is freezing where we live, and I can not see it getting warmer any time soon, and would love to have it on the bed this winter.

So, I am off to keep searching the internet to hunt down the backing fabric, and then to get stitching!!!

Til next time

Making Quilts.

A group of mum’s from our school have got together and are putting together a quilt to raffle off and hopefully raise a few dollars to help out around they school.  It has been a great experience, with lots of chatting happening and a bottle of wine or tow shared along the way.

Here is the finished quilt top, now we just need to send it to be quilted and binded.
