stitching away!

While waiting for December’s Garden to come back from the quilters, I thought I would make a wall hanging. So I have been busy stitching away on this
P1020814
as is my way, I started this back in Feb and every now and then I have been able to get a little bit more done (sometimes I like to leave things up on my design wall to see where to go next!) Once I was happy with what the final quilt would look like I have been busy trying to get it finished.

It reminds me of a spring day but we are in autumn so I guess I can say it’s for all of you who are over winter and enjoying early spring where ever you may be! Only the binding to go and hopefully it will be available early next week.
So if you are feeling lucky, leave a comment to win a pattern, I have 3 to give away. I will draw 3 winners next Monday. (have you checked out Natalie’s blog? she is having a give away too, you never know your luck!)

Bye for now
Gail xx

PS the fabric range is called Little Lulu’s by Maywood Studio

  10. Hi Gail, love your new photo. Still sewing away my seasons. Must get some of my stuff out of mothballs to finish for show and tell at loxton, if only I could see my sewing table that room is an absolute mess at the moment.

  12. Hi Gail Love your new wall hanging. I can relate to your message about leaving projects – there are so many nice new projects all the time I just can’t help myself and stop what I am doing to start the next one – which means the UFO list is loooong
