Blissful sewing

Ah I just love the Bliss range and I sure got my money out of the 2 charm packs I purchased from that online trap wonderful store.

Thankyou to all who took thought and commented on my last post re the binding.

I ended up going neither of what I had suggested, as I really wanted to make another runner out of the remaining charms. And the thought of the white binding going off colour-well that just wasn’t on my agenda.

I am very happy with how this quilt ended up looking, it originally was going to be a pattern out of Schnibbles times Two however when I cut out 3 different block pieces (that would be the 3 centre blocks in this quilt), whilst constructing each block it worked out I was chopping off 1½” of charm –uh uh quick calculation what a waste. It was then that I decided I would just make this up as I went along…

During sewing somehow I got 3 yuk grease marks on this…I sprayed them with Eucalyptus before washing most of the marks came out, at this point of time I think I can live with the faint marks on it.

Uh uh no Miss Lindi this is not yours!

Sun is shining so bright this afternoon was hard to get a good photo.

This runner is just waiting for me to make up my mind about some stitchery detail.

And this one is waiting for me to trace the stitcheries to add to it.
