A couple of new fabric buys of late . . .
. . . and I've discovered the joy of perle cotton for quilting. I love it! It is fun to work with and quick and easy. I also like the effect. My pink and green quilt is now all finished and ready for binding.
I know you have seen these quilts before, but just in case you think I do nothing but gardening and trips to the wild, I have to show you that I am up to the binding on my red and black quilt, and will finish it off tonight with a bit of TV. I am always doing just a little bit of sewing each night and they come along slowly but surely.
I did forget to post about the Resin Experience I had with Ric Rac during the holidays. It was something I hadn't tried before and the results were somewhat experimental, but I enjoyed trying something new, and hey, it was a good excuse to have a "craft day".
Ribbons were on special at Lincraft last week, so I couldn't help buying some
. . . watch this space.
