FINALLY HAVE THE TWISTER CHRISTMAS WREATH READY TO PIN AND QUILT - SORRY FOR THE AWFUL PHOTO! I ENHANCED IT IN iPhoto (won't be doing that again!!) |
WADDING JOINED WITH HEAT PRESS BATTING TOGETHER IRON ON TAPE - IT WORKS REALLY WELL AND IT'S GOOD TO USE UP THESE ODD PIECES OF WADDING |
THE BACKING IS A VERY OLD PIECE OF CHRISTMAS FABRIC - I THINK IT'S FROM MY DAYS IN SAMOA OR PAPUA NEW GUINEA! |
We are experiencing terribly hot weather here at the moment..... not really perfect sewing weather!
Today I managed to get all the blocks and sashing sewn together on the Teddy Quilt I am making for Maisy (photos soon), now I need to get the borders on. Might have to buy some backing fabric for this one. My Niece is making a flying visit to Brisbane in mid December so I will be able to give this quilt to little Maisy in person instead of mailing it.
Fred is back on chemo tomorrow thru Wednesday, so a quiet week for us.
I'll be back with a photo of Maisy's teddy quilt plus some other secret sewing which I can't show you until after Tuesday!
Happy Sewing,
Cheers from Helen
lovely helen and take care Fred.xx
