Show and Tell

Although I have done nothing quilty this week, I still have something to show you. This lady worked hard on the baby quilts and she did a great job!

 

Front - I Spy with black and white

Flannel backing 

Done by Yvonne (a lady at the Artisanat group) with her own fabric. The second one is very inspiring. Check it out. 

The backing and binding of the first quilt comes from my stash (my way of de-stashing) but the second one is entirely hers. I'm in love with it. She contacted me yesterday because she has done the 2 others I brought her and would like to have some more. "More than 2" she said. Gosh! This girl is a machine, lol. So, I'll get the ones she has finished and I'll try to post them before leaving for my retreat next week. 

What else happened this week? Oh, yes, I splurged. 

I got a pre-paid credit card from my boss at Christmas and decided to spend some of it on sewing notions. 

I got a wool-felt mat for ironing. (I'm not sure why I got that because I have no space for it. I'm blaming impulse purchase because of the great price; $3) Also purchased a 12.5" square ruler, some needle threader shaped like little umbrellas, a bag of little clips in a rainbow of colours and 10 spools of variegated thread. 

Aren't the colours pretty? 

That's all I have for today. Hope you are well and can find time to sew. Enjoy! ;^)
