On Wednesday I gave you a sneak peek at this lovely little bundle of batiks, from The Quilt Shop
the six fat eighths, pressed ready to cut
I cut strips of 4", 3" and 2", then mixed them up
and arranged them in two groups on the design wall
having stitched them together, I cut about a third off each one and swapped them over
the next stage was to layer them up, ready to quilt
the first one done, with a loopy flower meander
a little detail of the quilting
the two cushion fronts, quilted and trimmed
I delved into my stashes and found a pretty piece of curtain fabric for the backs, and a remnant of batik for the binding
I had hoped to get the first one finished to share with you today, but as I was sewing the binding on ....... disaster, I broke the needle (I was most annoyed, as it was a new needle!). As I should have already been cooking the dinner, I had to abandon the uncompleted cushion cover. So you will have to wait a few more days to see the finished cushions
it's Friday, so that means sconnage!! We shared this one on Monday when we were in Morpeth
then we shared this one on our way up to Berwick this morning. It has been raining all day, so no walk on the beach. Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow!
it's the end of the month, so that means I will be back tomorrow with my March report for the 6&6 in 2018 challenge. I do hope you will pop in to see what I have achieved. Have a good weekend, love Anne
