Busy weekend

This weekend has been really busy! It started on Friday watching the latest Twilight movie at the cinema. Yesterday and today I have painted half our hallway white (my sholder is sore) and I have managed to baste the Goodbye quilt. And almost finished the first book in the Twilight serie! Now I am eager to get to the gym, as soon as my husband and one of my sons get back from their fishing trip.

Have fun sewing!

Still working

Today I finished the top I started on last weekend. I have decided that this will be the Goodbye Quilt for our dear colleague. Tomorrow I will start collecting signatures from my other colleagues, and I will put these on the back of the quilt.



(Can you see the little doggie butt??) There will be no side borders on the quilt. I hope to start making the sandwich early next weekend, and maybe finish the quilting within next Sunday. I have a heep of other projects to finish before Christmas, so I better get on with it.

Have fun sewing!

Opening that layer cake

Yesterday I opened my newest layer cake, the Panier de Fleurs by French General. I am making a quilt from a pattern I found in  one of my recent book purchases (will show you later). As you know I am making another Goodbye Quilt for a dear colleague that is soon to retire. And I might just change my mind and give her this quilt instead. Time will tell.




Here you see one of the first blocks finished. The pattern is fun and easy. I will keep you posted about the progress.

Have fun sewing!
