Faded Love

 ......my Ditsy Doileys quilt is now finished. 

And it also has a new name,

which suits it much better!

There is this pretty painted wall nearby so we headed 

there this morning before it got to windy....

You can see a little of the backing fabric, pieced from 

leftover pieces of sheets I have previously used.

I machine quilted around each square , first in the floral 

borders and also in the plain ones.

I then added some hand quilting, using a variety of 

threads .....

The winter sunshine played pretty shadows across it as 

I stitched!

Of course it was appropriate to use a doily as a label!

"Faded Love" finishes at about 60" by 70"

Happy days!

Hitting the ground running!

With nearly a week away from the sewing machine,

A 'floating' butterfly

A wallaby having a snack....

A red sky in the morning...

the sailor's warning

I was keen to remedy it this weekend!

I made a border for my Tula Pink hexies....

14" square of fabric with 2" squares around the outside edge

ready now to applique!

a nasty night time photo!

A friend is celebrating her birthday tomorrow 

and as the 'group' gift isn't ready...

I didn't want to go empty handed!

So a tote bag was made!

The inside pocket

I raided my stash for this Lecien linen from way 

back...

It's called "Isso Ecco & 'heart'"...

no longer stocked, I believe?

And an outside pocket.

Who knows what is on the schedule for the third day 

of our long weekend?

Happy sewing!
