The courier brought something very exciting yesterday ... my Boys Story quilt came home and it is now quilted!! I used Quilt Crazy (Sandra Bentley) in Tauranga and I love what she has done and, even better, Josh
really loves it. She has quilted lots of little designs throughout the quilt - dragons, dinosaurs, racing cars, trucks, trains, etc - so it has become like an eye-spy quilt, perfect for a boy.

So just the binding to go and then it's finished.
On the sewing front, I haven't had time to do much this week, I got some flowers stitched on my hexie quilt ...
... and I started making the August
Cookies & Cream Craft Christmas Club pattern. I'm not sure if I am meant to show you the pattern yet so here is a glimpse of what I have done so far ...
Hmm, can you guess what it is?
Happy stitching, Wendy

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy - from Antwerp! Your quilt looks amazing. Doesn't quilting just make such a difference. Your hexies are coming along nicely too. I did some on the flight to Belgium, but about 16 hours in I realized I was stitching some upside down- time to stop! Happy stitching. Cate
