You know that I love getting squishy parcels from far-flung places. so I was dancing round the kitchen when I saw this .......
....... as Iknew it contained the most delicious fabric that Thimbleanna had sent me. I love the Ghastlies fabric, and this latest one is rumoured to be the last one ever (boo-hoo!)
I don't know what I will make with it - I think I will just admire it and stroke it for a litle while, before I cut it up!
but that wasn't all that was in the parcel. Anna also sent me this super-cute little ID holder ...... perhaps I could put my College staff pass in it
and now for the sewing. I am still working away getting every thing finished for Abbey Quilters' exhibition next month. I stitched the binding on the little landscape - and have since done the hand-stitching of the binding on the back, but I forgot to take a photo!
I hadn't yet sewn in all the ends from quilting the lines across the fields, so I decided to make them part of the design
this shows both the binding and the sleeve on the sashiko piece
a pile of wallhangings waiting for their sleeves to be stitched on
Malcolm, meanwhile, was busy finishing his planter
filling it with homemade compost
hopefully the vine will flourish in its new home
and catch up with the other one, which is under the guest bedroom window
Malcolm then transferred the olive tree to the other end of the planter, as it had outgrown its pot
I also made some alterations to this little wallhanging - but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see what I did!
