New Week

My weekend went in a flash !! the highlight was the Sandown Quilt show - lots of pics to upload - no time as yet.

We got there about 10 am and left after 3 pm cream crackered.  bought a few bits -  will show soon.  My favourite buy was a book by Mandy Shaw.  Stitch with Love.  its time for some serious stitching now.  All the patterns are lovely.  Just need to get started.  We met Mandy who was off to Glastonbury this week for bunting making.  Lets hope the rain holds off.

Lots of prep this week for hols next week to Devon cooking to be done clothes to be washed and packed. Phew do you ever think its hard work just to get going?   So back at work for this week off  Then off next week - Yesssss !   Not sure whether there will be much time for sewing stitching or crafting of any kind  just yet.  So maybe I will just relax when I've time and seek out inspiration and making ideas.  Bye for now.   Pics soon  M x

Its the weekend !! hurrah

What a day  but now .....  sigh !  its the weekend.

I've got a new quilt idea going round in my head. I have to admit I do have a few WIPs to finish.  But i'm waiting for the right backing.  hmm hmmm

I want to do a stripey type quilt.  Ive seen one I covet on a blog and I'm keen to make one similar.  Its the type where you cut all the strips together   mix up - sew together and it kinda looks stripey.  I will try and find and attach if I decide to get started.
